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

Garland on 14 August 2014

Xbox One outselling PS4 worldwide? LOL.

They couldn't outsell PS2 with the Original Xbox, nor could they even surpass PS3 with Xbox 360, despite the 360 having a year headstart (A year & a half headstart in Europe) along with the $200 price advantage, so why would this change for Xbox One?

The Playstation brand is far stronger than the Xbox brand is worldwide. Plus Sony have always delivered in 1st/2nd party exclusives since the PS1 days.

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?


MS makes a CONSOLE DESGIEND AND AIMED AT AMERICANS....THEY HAVE THEMSELVES TO BLAME/. heckm there reveal was american to the bone, Sports, Football TV. Call of duty.................

There's more chance that Hilary Clinton gets maried with an alien on the moon in the year 3000 than Xbone outselling the PS4.

He is right guys, the Xbox will win the console war globally in the US...and maybe China. The Europeans will discard the One as a NSA box and embrace it full on. In the US, Sony will be arrogant and keep the price of the PS4 at $399 and even raise it $100 dollars because it so popular...also they need the money since they are nearing bankruptcy. while the One will be price at $99 and gain more exclusives such as God of War and Gran Tursimo. In Japan, Microsoft will buy Nintendo so Mario can appear in the next Kinect game, rendering Sony helpless.

That's what my crystal ball is telling me. Q1 2016 cant get here fast enough.

Dude, really?

First of all, China? LOL, It's PC land over there. It'll be the next india for consoles, if anything.

Plus Sony's not stupid enough to raise the price of their console at all. And Nintendo? The Wii U isn't even that popular over there.

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.


That is really all the PS4 needs to dominate. The rest are just icing on the cake


But he mentioned TLG in the same post. Maybe OP assumes that every game Sony has planned will get the TLG treatment? If that happens, then he might, possibly, actually have a slight sliver of a tiny chance of his prediction being correct
