Interesting, huh? Of course, here he just assumes the PS4 and XBO were close in Dec as fact, with no real data. Then, when VGC adjusts XBO down with the PS4, since it's pretty obvious they are both overtracked, as ioi must be using similar formulas to estimate sales WW, he criticizes the site for just assuming the XBO is overtracked, too. Sure, PS4 was over tracked by 600K-700K, but XBO is spot on. Anyway, I think this proves the fight for the UK is over. Sony isn't just handing over UK to MS, and it seems when the consoles are both priced the same, they won't have to. Same thing is happening in the US, now, since the XBO's price went up. And this year, Sony will be ready and willing to answer a permenant price cut from MS, so I don't think they will be giving up the US, either. |
Even though we just got confirmation that the PS4 has handily beat the XBO in the UK in Dec, at least enough so to completely wipe out the gain XBO got in Nov.The PS4 should extend its lead this year and with a better Q1 & Q2 lineup, it shouldn't have that much problem. What I'm curious to see if the gap eventually hits the critical point or what I would call "the point of no return". By then, all Sony has to intensely focus on is the US.
