in my opinion i think xbox one has more exclusives to choose from and play while with ps4, you only have KZ , knack , ISS and gamers was waiting fora big blockbuster game which was watchdogs. and the other reason could possibly be because of marketing as it was mainly focussed on the ps4 version


You are wrong, Indies, MLB the show, FF14 dfon't exist? Let me guesss, now Indies and f2p are not games right? Ps4 library is way more robust then x1's. MS is talking indies now for a reason..they matter, and fill a major void in AAA gaming. Xblx live was known for it's indies, hilarious now xbox fans try to make out like they don't exist. Even retail exclusives Sony has more, and we all know in the long run they cannot match sony's first party.

Sony paid for it with exclusive bundles, exclusive content and ads

It might have something to do with Watchdogs on PS4 outselling the Xbox One version by nearly 1 million copies...



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

It would have outsold x1 by a lot without this...just like wolfenstein..PS4 is a lot more popular.

It seems like you've never heard of pretend exclusives. Lighten up bro.

Okay, which are the big XBO exclusives? Forza 5 and ...?

Titanfall: not exclusive

Dead Rising 3: not exclusive

PvZ: Garden Warfare: not exclusive

Seriosuly what is up with that? The PS4 leaped in sales but the XB1 barely hopped. Last week sales:

PS4 122,942 (+1%) 7,877,802
3DS 80,755 (-3%) 42,966,474
PS3 41,532 (-0%) 82,021,823
XOne 41,174 (+1%) 4,486,970
WiiU 31,777 (+12%) 6,103,913
PSV 29,113 (+5%) 8,268,043
X360 24,836 (-3%) 80,802,929
PSP 10,772 (-0%) 80,601,494
Wii 8,763 (+7%) 100,661,966

This week sales:

PS4 201,630 (+64%) 8,079,432
WiiU 187,028 (+489%) 6,290,941
3DS 78,397 (-3%) 43,044,871
XOne 52,180 (+27%) 4,539,150
PS3 39,869 (-4%) 82,061,692
PSV 27,487 (-6%) 8,295,530
X360 26,078 (+5%) 80,829,007
PSP 11,003 (+2%) 80,612,497
Wii 7,681 (-12%) 100,669,647

XB1 only went up 27% while PS4 jumped 54%. And the thing is XB1 and Wii U should both be crushing PS4 because they both have better exclusives than PS4 does. Even Wii U I get not selling as much because of the huge drought last year but that's done now. XB1 literally has the same games as PS4 just that it has better exclusives. And then Wii U did have the largest jump but still didn't beat the PS4. I think it will next week


are you seriously asking this question? are you really not able to put 1+1 when you know the game got exclusive marketing for PS4?

Timing? incorrect numbers?

both?


Probably, XOne is usually overtracked, wouldn't be surprised if it happened again.

A few points are off in your analysis below the tables (probably because of bias?):

1 - The xb1 does not have "about the same titles + more exclusives" it has about half the games the PS4 has and a few exclusives, but nothing major (is anyone still playing Titanfall?) ... for the rest of the year they have the same number of first party exclusives + PS4 has about twice as many games announced over all... you can slide and dice the list however you want it, go look on IGN's announced games list... there are 3 pages for PS4 and 1.5 page for XB1! Anyway, I will not sort out the list of exclusives, but PS4 has the same numer if you cound only the first party, and much more if you cound all games... even F2P and "indies".

2 - The cross platform titles all run better on the PS4, or at the very least the less demanding games run about the same on both, this is why people who wanted to play the game and were not on next gen systems bought PS4s to play it, this really is a no brainer, unless you already have an XB1, why would you pick the inferior version?

3 - The redeeming factor for the moth of May for XB1 is that they announced a price drop for June 9th a couple of weeks ago, so they may have some built-up sales in June for that week... a certain number of people have been waiting for a kinect free XB1 for a while!

4 - Wii U got a huge bump from Mario Kart 8! Now I still think the Wii U is grossly overpriced for what it has to offer, Nintendo should do a version of the system they sell for 250$ with a 500GB internal drive + the classic controller instead of the one with the second screen.... I may get it for Zelda, if it seems to be any good.

You need to reread the OP as this post is completely irrelevant to the topic.

It's about the hardware boost, not SW sales.
