| Puppyroach said: To the OP: Try reading the article again. They are calculating the BEST possible scenario for X1 compared to the WORST possible scenario for the PS4 and the PS4 still comes ahead about 40%. It is to show that the PS4 is way ahead of the X1, no matter how you crunch the numbers. |
They tried to show the XB1 in a better light. 40% ahead sounds a lot better than 100% doesn't it?
They conclude: "Why does it matter? Is the sales lead that the PS4 has built up big enough to really skew the market for console video games? Probably not yet. ... An Xbox One with roughly 40 percent of the worldwide market is hard to ignore. An Xbox One that is whittled down over time to 25 or 30 percent of the market make it easier for publishers to decide to pass on ports".
The reality is XB1 seems to have around 33 percent of the market only, and that's since launch. For 2014, it's under 28%.
