Let's enjoy the game experience. PS4 will dominate this gen, live with that X fans. Accept it, it will be easier and less painful. It's silly to look at the micro scenario, 1 week after a price cut, etc... any company going with a price cut and those deals so early is in serious troubles.


Really is that what happened with the PS3? PS3 cut price in July of there launch year. So is XBOX ONE going to be doomed if they do the same and cut price as early as July? Seems many of you don't understand that this is the very beginning of the gen and anything can happen. Took ps3 a long time to catch up but they did.

Numbers from that month.  Look XBox One Should pass PS3 numbers by April in aligned launch year.. So to say anyone cutting price and doing deals this early, is also saying PS3 would have never came back and was doomed.  Sorry but this argument is getting really old.

DS 453,238 (-3%) 46,377,230
Wii 255,828 (-8%) 9,301,578
PSP 183,447 (-6%) 24,414,591
X360 69,870 (-13%) 10,461,493
PS3 63,826 (+4%) 3,884,475
Total 1,026,209(-5%)  

While I agree....he/she didn't say the XB1 was doomed.....albeit he did say "serious trouble" but doomed...not teh case. And for referrence the PS3 was also said to be in "serious trouble" when it launhed due to the sales. Hence the reason Sony dropped the price so soon. So he/she kind of does have a point there.

Anyway everyone if going over board witht his XB1 "doom" stuff....it's just silly if you ask me.

Even at $600  and with hardly any games, against a 360 that had already build up a very respectable game library, the difference in weekly sales between the PS3 and 360 was never even close to as drastic as that of the X1 and PS4 is.

I don't even think the PS4 can be bought in shops here in the UK. They are of mythical status.

If it can't outsell PS4 that week, then when?...

Here is March 3rd of 2007. PS3 4 month on sale. Look at the difference. XBox One is 2.5 million ahead in sales compared.^^^^ Above is of July 2007. 8 months of the ps3 on sale ^^^^^

DS 452,903 (-10%) 38,390,948
Wii 200,263 (-14%) 5,109,095
PSP 175,399 (-17%) 21,194,796
X360 95,476 (-12%) 9,022,392
PS3 80,401 (+61%) 1,953,123
Total 1,004,442(-9%)  

Point being, don't be so sure. So what if it has a early lead, many things start and end in way different scenario's.  360 also had a 7 million unit lead.

The link takes me to thief, as someone else just mentioned.

Price reduced console which is generally available in plentiful supply outsells sold out console shocker. Full story at 9!



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Looks like a 50 lb price cut did the trick homies. Even with a few days of lower sales from people waiting for the Titanfallbundle, the Xbox One might have outsold the PS4 for the week. Look at software sales. Fifa on Xbox One took an elevator upwards! Call of Duty did very good on Xbox One. PVZ did better on Xbox One than Xbox 360. Forza + Dead rising are climbing the charts. When Titanfall comes and Mincraft timed next gen exclusive comes out I expect that to be the final nail in the coffin for the PS4 in UK. What do you think?

Still waiting for the coffin.

Again though those are two different scenarios. But even with that he is right the weekly sales between the PS3/360 compared to the PS4/XB1 wree never near this different.

And again that still doesn't mean the Xb1 is doomed. It is far too early in the generation  to say that.
