The X1 outsold the PS4 in the US in december only, at least get your facts straight.

It was the fastest 

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/npd-xbox-one-is-the-fastest-selling-console-in-november-and-call-of-duty-leads-software/1100-6416696/

You didn't really just take this piece of bullshit PR to prove a point, did you? The fastest? How? As far as I remember Sony sold over 1mil PS4 in NA in 24 hours, how long did it take the X1 to reach that number again?

So why did ps4 outsell the xbox one in those listed countries? 

Simple: It outsold the competition because it is priced at a lower price. Fact! 

So you do admit that the most important reason for the PS4 outselling the X1 is not that it released in more countries? Well then I've made my point.

Also if you seriously believe that the only reason the PS4 is outselling the X1 in those continental european countries is the $100 prize difference, then you really have no idea of the advantage in brand power the Playstation has over Xbox in those countries.

*sigh*

how many more times do i have to say it? 

1 reason was the price

Another was the early launch

lastly it launched in more countries meaning it reached a bigger audience. 

Understand? 

*sigh*

You don't get it do you?

You said "MOST IMPORTANTLY it launched in more countries so it should have more sales"

What I showed with those numbers, is that the extra countries are not even close to being the most important reason why the PS4 is outselling the X1, is that clear now?

Also again even if they were prized the same, the PS4 would still outsell that X1 and LOL at the "early launch" being a reason for the PS4 performing better, grasping at straws aren't we? The PS4 launched 1 week early in NA and 1 week late in Europe, that literally is of no importance here at all.

You make no sense and clearly dont understand. 

Ps4 released in more countries. Fact!

It reached a larger audience. Fact!

At a lower price point. Fact! 

Ps4 outsold the xbox one in the countires both were released and price was a big factor for that outcome. 

You can spin it any way you want but the facts are there ^^^

Well it is cheaper....a huge factor.
It did launch earlier....not that much earlier but still
and most importantly. It launched in a lot of more countries so it should have more sales.

US:

PS4 59,085 (+2%) 2,263,631
XOne 49,809 (-11%) 2,117,358

UK:

PS4 17,547 (-15%) 627,008
XOne 8,922 (-16%) 426,152

Germany:

PS4 7,359 (-29%) 295,531
XOne 2,987 (-24%) 146,654

France:

PS4 11,704 (-6%) 286,304
XOne 3,583 (-4%) 144,741

Clearly the most important reason for the PS4 outselling the X1 is the extra countries it's released in.

So in this chart you're telling me a cheaper priced console is outselling a higher priced console? 

O_o 

People love buying cheaper items??? Thats a shocker..


PS3 sales was better than X360 sales same with a higher price, it's the difference...

Higher price? 

Last time i checked they are both the same price. 

Not now but between 2006 and 2011.

 
if I remember correctly in 2007: Jan-July: PS3: $600 X360: $400
                                                         August-December PS3: $500 X360: $350

The gap was larger than the gap between XB1 and PS4.

The gap started getting smaller after the price cut. I remember when the ps3 was reduced to $300 and the gap was still big. Then the price came down to $250. They both have been outselling each other but sometimes it was vice versa. Same way as this gen so far. The xbox one outsold the ps4 in the us during november and december even after the higher price tag. 

Same with higher price, PS3 outsold X360 every years, the price came down to $250 only in August 2011.

They both were outselling each other. Some months it was ps3 and others were for the xbox. 


Apart in 2008 Global yearly chart shows PS3 outsold X360 every years same with a highter price.

Probably overall but i was talking about monthly. Consoles have sales that help them sale more. Black friday is an example. They are not always sold at their regular price point.

I dont know how long exactly it took to outsell the xbox 360 but it was near the end of last generation. The ps3 did outsell the 360 at times but the xbox one has outsold the ps4 aswell. During the month of november and december, xbox one sold more than ps4 in the us and sold more games aswell. Ps3 has been at $250 for years now at the same price of the xbox so i dont know where you got that. I never admitted to ps3 being better than the 360. Having more exclusives doesn't mean its better. Quality over quantity!

Again ps3 has been priced at $250 same price as xbox 360. You can buy a cheaper 360 with a 4gb drive. 

Kinect is one reason why some haven't purchased it. They feel like kinect is being forced and that is another factor in sales. I hope we see a kinect less SKU priced at $400. Sales will go higher. Sadly halo 5 was pushed to 2015, it would have murdered every other exclusive game to come this holiday. Halo 5 bundled with a $400 SKU = lots of sales. Quote me on that. 

My point was the PS4 consistently outsold the 360 at a higher price, so it's not an excuse for the X1. The 360 had a several million unit lead, of course it took the PS3 a while to surpass it. Also, i was speaking globally not a single region I've already established as pointless to debate.

Indeed quality over quantity. I did a big thread on the topic a while ago and the end result was the PS3 had both more quantity and quality. If that is the way in which you measure the worth of a console then you either have to discard your own logic or see the PS3 as the better console ^^

Price differences only matter for those who cannot afford the higher price, or do not see that higher price as worth it. The base model of the 360 and PS3 may be the same now, but for those who cannot afford that price point theere are cheaper version of the 360, but not the PS3.

If they released a Kinect-less model they will anger everyone who bought it despite the product. The damage is done either way.

You still haven't answered my question :) Price is obviously not a majorly influential factor past the obvious levels, as the PS3 overcame it and so did the PS1, so once they are both released everywhere will the X1 outsell the PS4? Your entire argument leads to that conclusion, but are you willing to back that up yourself? Willing to bet on it? Or is your argument built more on bias than actual logic? ^^ Alternatively you could call the Kinect a shitty product, that would fill in the holes of your logic just as well.

Ladies and gentlemen quote this man! A cheaper new SKU bundled with a major exclusive release will sell! Never before has a prediction of such boldness been conceived on this forum! Join us next week for another episode of "No Shit Serlock"!

No, I make perfect sense, you just either don't read my posts or don't understand them.

But you really just now tried to tell me that the X1 was the fastest selling console in the US in November, so I will end this discussion here, you're clearly not thinking straight at the moment.

sold 1 million worldwide (13 countries) in 24 hours 

Lol so you believe the PR bullshit sony says, huh? hypocrite much? How is it any different? 

Sony obviously had less consoles to ship to each country since they released in more countries.

Sorry to burst your bubble but last gen consoles are dead and old. We want new hardware. Xbox one has been outselling the ps3 so it works both ways. ps4 outsold the 360 and xbox one outsold the ps3. Why? Because they are old hardware. 

That is just an opionion on your part. I did like some (few) ps3 exclusives but i perfered most xbox 360 exclusives. Again that is just a personal preference. That shoots down your point. 

A kinect less SKU would piss people off but thats how gadgets work. Technology advanced quickly, very quickly. If you buy a phone and not expect a newer version to appear a few months later than you simply dont understand how technology works.

Dude... NPD tracks the US, not the whole world. MS sold 1 million in 24h in 13 countries, Sony sold 1 million in 24h in NA alone, that should clearly show who sold their consoles faster in the US, if that's not enough for, then just look at vgchartz numbers.

That "fastest selling console" was nothing but a pathetic attempt at PR spin, they just took the numbers they sold in the US in November and divided them with the number of days the X1 had been on the market, to arrive at some weird average consoles sold per day number, which they then used to declare that they were the fastest. This makes no sense though since most PS4s and X1s were sold on launch day and black friday and not evenly over every day.

I'll stop now, you're just embarassing yourself here...

The fact is right up there ^^ but you just ignore it or dont believe it. That is not my problem.

So because something has happened repeatedly in the past it's no longer relevant to the present?

It doesn't shoot down my point because mine was not based on opinion or preference. The thread i did was based on the critic reception of games and number of said games. The PS3 came out on top in both ^^ Sorry to break it you but your opinion doesn't counter simple averaged and progressive statics. I'm sorry if that's hard to hear :(

I see you still are still avoiding my question though ^^ That pretty much confirms to me your argument is based on bias and not logic, so i can safely leave this argument knowing you having nothing of worth to contribute. That or you just really have no idea what you talking about, which is certainly a possibility since your post in the order 1886 thread showed you lack an understanding of basic resource management.

Anyway, enjoying spending your day trying to rationalize why your console of preference is losing!
