Forums - Gaming Discussion - Prediction: Xbox One will outsell PS4 WW by Q1 2016

flint said:

But allow me to make a new prediction which I'm certain will turn out to be true this time. I predict that by Q1 2016, PS4 will outsell the XBO in USA 3:2. in Europe 3:1. And Japan will be 5:1 ratio.  Now before you leave a negative comment please let me explain why I think this will happen. the PS4 has so many exclusive games coming out, Bloodbourne, Driveclub, the order, Tearaway, Little big planet, First light, rime, until dawn, everybody’s gone, uncharted etc. Those are AAA games that will do a lot of damage against the XBO. It is true that XBO will have Halo along with some decent timed exclusives but I doubt that it will be enough to compete with the PS4 exclusives..  Now of course that alone will not make my prediction happen.. It would be absurd if i were to claim that. So on top of that Sony might bundle the console with FIFA 15/FIFA 16 with a reduced price in the European markets which will appeal to gamers there. And Destiny bundles in the US where a majority Americans love playing FPS games.  Those crazy bundle deals along with the exclusive games I mentioned will make my prediction accurate.  After all it's always about the games at the end of the day.  Please do not misunderstand me, I think the XBO is an outstanding console. I'm not a hater at all, I don’t own both consoles.  But I'm certain that my prediction will be accurate.

What do you think? Am I right?

Sorry couldn't resist, 


Funny thing it will be the best bet of the thread.

PS4 exclusives : The Last Of Us 2, Bloodborne, Rime, Gran Turismo 7, Uncharted 4, God Of War IV, Quantic Dream and Guerrilla's project, The Last Guardian, Wild, LittleBigPlanet 3, The Order 1886, DriveClub.

How can someone SEE today's trends and STILL predict something like this? I mean you could understand if this was a year ago, but now? Does visting this website and seeing the numbers teach you NOTHING? I geniunely can't understand this...



So much wrong with your prediction I don't even need to read all. No chance in the hell X1 outselling PS4 in europe or japan, just no.

no. comsumers are stupid. they wont buy xbox ones als long as its a ms console.., to much hate around it
xbox Need to be bought by apple, to make this happen

Did consumers "hate" the 360? If not, then re-read what you wrote and think about it. The hate had little to do with the brand.


not here in germany, where i live.

 

and most only bought the 360 here, because it was super cheap. and if the product become to much valuable to get over ur dislike for the company, u will probably buy it. but if u really prefere a compay or brand, u will also buy that product if its to expensiv, fucked up many things, etc. thats what happend with the ps3 sales here...

Yet ps4 dominated germany and so is the ps4......them facts.

Maybe, but I wouldn't be surprised if he does another one though if the XBO does great this Holiday season. For example if it closes the gap a bit in the US.


Sadly I believe he would consider the gap closing, even in the slightest bit, an "I told you so" opportunity.

I predict this thread being nacrobumped in the future.

WTF is this? Are you calling Sony fans or anyone who bought a PS4 stupid?? stupid for buying a brand that has a LONG history in the industry, and of making many great games, hardware and an ecosystem, never tried to lie, trample on gamer rights? You should be abnned for this nonsense:

 

Newsflash, PS4 has more games now and announced then x1....see gamescom. MS was all multiplats, and the drought since titanfall, Sony has had 3 exclusives since titanfall, more in you l;ook at downloadablwe games.


no i did not.

i just said some consumer are stupid and will never buy an xbox one as long as its a ms console because they hate that company so much.

just dont read somethin into my post, i never said.

but hey thats how many people on the internet act these days.

and thats by the way is stupid, too (and no i dont call u stupid with this post)

You said "Because people are stupid".... Moronic, PS is a bigger brand and MS is too American focuses in features Sony understands thre global market MS does not.......MS has themselves to blame. MAny features dont work in europe, sony has more games that appeal to the european market even have many large europe studios.

I see you cannot fathom that people simply think PS4 is the better deal, especially in Europe where it gets more app support and Xbox way less than in US, the exclusives are better tailored for the market, etc. How is it so hard to grasp? But no it must be hate.

It's funny though, that many German members here are PlayStation haters when the consoles are so popular there.


wtf did i say that?

yes some or even the most people think that.

 

but even if the xbox one would be the better deal, it would not sell more than the ps4 here.

that what i said. and thats because of the company/brand awareness

But you don't know that, it's just bias speaking through you. 360 gained a lot of ground in Germany since the first Xbox against the successor to the PS2, because for some time it was indeed the better deal, first to the market, cheaper, better games line up.

If they would continue with that throughout 360s life and start like that with the Xbone they would get even more foothold. Would it outsell the PS4 if it was the same it is now? Hard to tell. Brand awareness is very important of course, but it can only do so much good. Slap a PlayStation name on a crappy offer, and you have a Vita on your hands. Slap it even on a good proposition, still get outsold 2:1 by DS (don't know if the ratio for Germany is the same as WW but probably close) Nintendo is certainly not bigger than PlayStation in Europe.


i know some guys said, they would never bought a ms console.

yeah the 360 gaind some ground. but even the best ms console is outsold by the worst sony console 2:1 here

 

only a pefect (lol there will be never a perfect one) ms console could beat a completly fucked up sony console here. and im not even sure about that.

so why is this just bias speaking form me?
