Forums - Gaming - Xbox One to overtake PS4 in NA in 2015, says analyst

 

When will X1 overtake PS4 in NA?

2014 26 4.37%
 
First half of 2015 38 6.39%
 
Second half of 2015 48 8.07%
 
2016 onwards 24 4.03%
 
It won't 459 77.14%
 
Total:595

$399 won't help until the real exclusives start showing up. Titanfall + massive discounts weren't enough, and all we have for months to come is multiplats with a clear PS4 advantage.

It won't even get interesting until November, and people thinking that US will snap to XB1 advantage are absolutely out of their minds with delusion.

I'm not even interested in a PS4 at this point, but the data is clear as a bell.

Man, I don't normally respond to these things, but the key is how well each console does with multiplatform games.   Understandably gamers (both hard core and casual) are looking for the best version of their favorite AAA game, especially early into the next gen cyle,.  Right now, this is easily the PS4 with the higher resolutions and framerates.  Why in the world would you not want the definitive version of your "big budget game" even if the graphical differences are small. Of course you'll want the better one.  Without question on larger HD tvs, the PS4 version of almost all multiplates simply look sharper and cleaner.  MS is no longer in a position to demand graphical parity as they once did with the 360.  Everything that I've read indicates that the PS4 grpahically will remain ahead of the XBO into the distant future.  The MS hope of cloud enhancement, DX12, and now the kinectless extra power won't make a big difference.  Right now Sony has the real and perceived hardware advantage in the console world.  It will be interesting, however,  to see what the STEAMBOX systems will do to the gaming industry...

I'am wondering why everyone purchases a PS4 instead of a XBox One because the XBox One has the better games right now! I hope this will change with the Kinectless XBox One SKU!!!

That's subjective. What isn't subjective is that the PS4 has the better version of multiplats.

OT: I think the X1 will overtake the PS4 in the U.S. by next March or maybe even by the end of this year.


That's not true!!! The PlayStation has not the better versions, the PlayStation has just the higher resolution in games, but this will also change with Direct X12 and the Kinectless SKU. And higher resolution means not that you have a great game, Killzone Shadow Fall as example is just an average game, and even a 4000x 3000 resolution will not make this game better or worse. It's not about the resolution of games, its about the games! I don't care about resolution for myself and I think that Super Mario Bros on the NES is more fun to play than Killzone: Shadow Fall ;)

It is true. I don't think you understand what "better version of multiplats" means. If the exact same game runs and looks better on one console over the other (and has more content), it is the better version. That's just a fact. Killzone (which sucked) is only on the PS4, so I don't understand why you brought that up. Direct X12 is not going to magically wipe away the hardware spec difference and neither will a Kinectless SKU. Do you even comprehend what you're saying?

Halo will assure this.

By then the gap will be too big for Halo to do it.

They already expected Xbone to lead PS4 in the US by 2016? Based on what?

Halo? More entertainment features? The power of the almight cloud perhaps?

Nobody buys a console because of the cloud, and entertainment features haven't sunk in well. Only halo will sell a healthy amount of xbones

I am surprised so many people say it won't. X1 is already outselling ps4, and with the price cut, it will catch up fast.

What the hell are you talking about?



 

The PS5 Exists.

NPD Group will report their numbers soon, let's see if the Xbox One is really outselling the Playstation 4:O

Don't bother taking the VGC vs NPD numbers slant w/ Drill, he only thinks they're valid when Microsoft is ahead.  When NPD comes out and VGC's numbers are corrected, he'll say NPD's wrong and they're just estimates, even after Microsoft openly uses their analysis in official news releases.
