Can't wait for next week to prove all haters wrong
AGAIN

You can't prove "haters" wrong again if they were never wrong to begin with.

In other words, what you're really saying is that you're hoping that the Xbox One ousells the PS4 in the US for the month of June.

There's The Last of Us PS4 bundruuu this summer.

I am Torgo, I take care of the place while the master is away.

"Hes the clown that makes the dark side fun.. Torgo!"

Ha.. i won my bet, but i wasnt around to gloat because im on a better forum!  See ya guys on Viz

500K is not a big deficient however I don't see MS catching up unless they drop the price.

You are also keeping a look at it to see how long it will take for the OP realize his mistake? You may need to stay looking here for the next couple years. Maybe even following a X2 will overtake PS5 thread rebranding.

Its only 500K back and now with the price reduction and better holiday lineup than the PS4 for USA gamers it could happen as early as next year.

I don't know how you can be so confident when its only been 6months into the generation

The people that think the XB1 holiday lineup is better than the PS4 are the exact same people that think the XB1 lineup so far is better than the PS4 lineup so far. Hence, the exact same people that predicted XB1 would overtake in March, that the $399 SKU would even things out or put XB1 ahead, etc.

None of that has happened or will happen. XB1 is already confined to a niche status in global sales, and defined as the 2nd place in the US. The best they can hope for is to not fall massively behind.

The holiday season is actually horrible for XB1 if you think about it. Most of the large game releases are multiplatform, and like clockwork each will be superior on PS4. Worse, Destiny launches well ahead of the XB1 exclusives, and that will be a massive swing in PS4's favor.

The Amazon method has accurately reflected the best selling console in the US every month this year XBO vs. PS4, and the $399 SKU barely notched a couple of days of reasonable rankings before plummeting back to the depths. Same story with Best Buy and Gamestop. The XBO's next major release isn't until Sunset and Halo MCC. So for many months to then the best they can hope for is to not fall behind to an even more massive degree than is already underway. If they lose each month in the US by similar margins as April and May, and with increasing sales heading into fall, the gap could easily be 1M+ by November. At that point the network effect (positive word of mouth and a much wider next-gen userbase, plus the incessant reports of almost every multiplat being superior on PS4, or at worst equal due to dev laziness/game simplicity), and you have a recipe for the XBO losing out in the holidays just as much as during all of 2014 so far.

The ONLY dark horse is if Microsoft will really make things interesting and drop to $299. I don't think $349, even with a game, is enough to even come tied for monthly sales.



This is wishful thinking unless there's a price cut.

First of all, it's about 620k back, not 500k back. Second of all, whether the X1 has a better lineup than the PS4 is debatable since it depends on the type of gamer. Lastly, depending solely on the holidays is never a good idea and what's more important is to maintain consistency. The PS4's lineup for the rest of this year is evenly spread out and appeals to a wide variety of audiences. The X1's lineup, on the other hand, adopts a more niche strategy.

For the USA Halo MCC is bigger than anything the PS4 has. Sunset Overdrive is a great looking game that appeals to gamers of all ages. Forza Horizon 2 appeals to arcade and sim racer fans. How is that niche? The holidays are where most of the years sales are done so it doesnt matter much what happens in August.

Do you really believe that Driveclub and LBP3 which is not a exclusive will outsell MS's exclusives?
