Powerful systems are always last place in sales. Just look at PS1 vs N64, Xbox vs PS2, Wii vs PS3/360. Consoles make sales based on their libraries, and the PS4 has a library that blows Xbox out of the water. |
Ps4 is stronger than X1 and outsells it. PS3 was more powerfull than X360 and outsold it.

Poor countries such as Brazil never seen an original PS1/PS2 disc, despite being extremely popular over here. |
PS1 and PS2 were never officialy announced so that is the reason. When PS3 got officially released we started seeing PS2 games on stores like Americanas.

I think you're slightly downplaying the TRUE succes of PS1 and PS2 by saying that they sold well due to being able to play pirated games. It couldn't be the fact that they had compelling software or was the cheapest DVD player on the market, right?! At the bolded, PS4 didn't have a library advantage over Xbox One, but neither did the Xbox One have that advantage over the PS4. They were pretty much neck in neck. I will admit you do have a point about marketing and even the advantages over N64. |
The cheapest DVD was already proven to be a myth, and considering it sold 1.5B SW it can also be seen that games were the main reason.

Hmm i am a member to this site to discuss gaming and its news. I couldn't care about sales. Just for your fyi.
Its alright to discuss it. Its more about those who like to call out numbers to justify there purchases. Thats what i find funny so i am glad MS hide there numbers just to shut them up. |
Yes I'm sure you never cared about numbers from 2008 to 2011.

Nope i honestly dont care for sales never did. Even when the 360 was out i couldnt care less. Check my Live account, see that i rarely touch my Xbox haha.
You act as if the X1 had no games of there own. Dead Rising 3, Titanfall, Plants vs Zombies, Sunset Overdrive and Tomb Raider just to name afew which were all well recieved. PS4 did have a bigger Indie game scene than the X1. Which looks to have changed now. Sales are kind of pointless when one system is sold world wide in more countries while the other doesnt or was late to the scene. Talk about handicapping the charts. You anwsered your own question here if PS4 was sold in more countries. That would mean that the PS4 has a much better chance of selling more haha. Its logical. |
Nope no one is acting as Xbox didn't had it's games. You were saying PS4 didn't had, and was proved wrong by PS4 having more games even at release of gen.
Also When PS4 outsell X1 in EACH AND ANY country and most of them 2:1 or more, your argument that PS4 only outsell X1 due to releasing to more countries is ludicrous...and even if that was the case, fault MS for releasing in less country.
