Every time i see the following or similar:
"Even after the higher price"
"Even after the media hatred"
Takes me back to 2006 when PlayStation fans had to say the same sort of things.
We understand your position and your pain, Xbox fans, not all of us PlayStation, PC and Nintendo fans have a baseless hatred for Microsoft and Xbox, Pull up a chair, let's enjoy the games and chill.
They finally realise it. Yes, Europe is Sony land and theres no way the x1 can dominate the market again without Sony's past mistakes. Japan is also a no-go, so the x1 is looking at prospects of distant second place at best.

well I would equally go by game sales, which VGChartz seems to be more accurate on tracking...
XBone is just not up there in terms of game sales. Game sales is where consoles actually make their profit,
and of course what is important to 3rd party publishers, and which will determine 3PP priorities in future games.
The Xbone is selling like hotcakes and the PS4 is pretty much sold out until like next year for most people. my friend can't get his hands on a PS4 just yet.
| binary solo said: I think Xb one's numbers in Europe are a concern. You can't put it down to constrained supply, except maybe in the UK. So demand in Europe actually does seem like it may be Wii U-like. It's entirely possible that the USA (North America perhaps) ends up being Xb one's only genuinely strong market. |
Uh... UK *IS* Xbox brand's market in Europe for the most part, doing bad on mainland Europe is not a surprise.
Doing bad in UK means they lost what was their silver lining in Europe.
And they haven't launched in Scandinavia which was perhaps their next best region of Europe.
Meanwhile USA is no longer their playground, with PS4 doing great.
They will still sell alot of consoles, Australia seems good for them so far, but their position seems to be starting out weaker,
and the dynamics of the market seem set to only tilt further in Sony's favor.
PS3 eventually barely outsold 360, I expect to see 2:1 advantage to Sony by mid-point of this gen (65/35 split between the big 2).
Especially if MS does not drop the Kinect from the SKU... That is a physical/optical part that will be much less subject to manfacturing process improvements,
compared to CPU/GPU memory, so that $100 of the price just cannot be reduced as much, while the CPU/GPU will be similar to Sony

I doubt xbox one doing well World wide(it may do very good in NA) due to its higher price point, not working TV features, having less powerful hardware and Xbox always sells poor world wide compared to PS. Even if they remove kinect still its less powerful hardware compared to PS4 and its going to be atmost 50$ cheaper which is not a big deal because sony can easily match it(though they don't need due to its hardware is better than Xbox one). |
A stronger console doesn't mean its gonna sell better
*looks at the wii*
O_o
how did that happen?
Did you know ps4 only supports a 2.4 wireless signal?
The xbox one supports a wireless adapter capable of 2.4 - 5.0ghz.
The ONLY next gen console to do so.
It's going to be so funny to come back and read forums like these in a couple years. It reminds me of analyst predictions like this:
Point being, it's ridiculous to make predictions of who will win this entire console generation when we are less than a month in. Literally anything could happen in the next few years. Don't be ridiculous now!

It really is. Good thing I made this whole thread to say that.
I put Japan numbers up and stated my intentions in a spoiler yet still a fair amount of people didn't notice. I'm looking at you Zappy!
It is soo easy to detect fanboys,,, they read the title think it damage their console of choice and attack the OP poster (not even the OP since they don't read it)... learning with Rol?
