I think the XOne will do just fine in the US, maybe not as good as the PS4, but good nonetheless.


It is already doing good, I think it will do great

Well.... the PS4 Destiny bundle outsold the X1's best SKU for the year on Amazon , so nope. And in less than 3 days!!!

EDIT: And..... PS4 beats X1 in August NPD. The gap continues to widen.


Sorry, that is not how it works...

Or do you expect that VGChartz shows next week that PS4 sold 1.5mi consoles this week?



PS4 is going to win the US and the UK. No need to hope for a different outcome Xbox One fanboys, just accept it.

*Finally* a week where X1 outsells PS4 in USA

Fixed. VGC's numbers are still inaccurate, not to mention those numbers were for the last week of August. NPD already confirmed that the PS4 outsold the X1 for the month. This is despite the fact that the X1 had the Madden bundle (where the game was literally given out for free) and a huge marketing campgain behind it. Not good...

Both the PS4 and Destiny bundle continues to outrank the X1 on Amazon and the Destiny bundle already outsold the Titanfall bundle for the year. In other news, the PS4 GTAV is out-preordering the X1 GTAV by a lot, too

Yep, the X1 is in a truly abominably horrible state of affairs if the best anyone can cling to is a ~3k boost on the back of a free game bundle on a heavily promoted Madden game, on a site known for overtracking the X1 EVEN AFTER NPD showed X1 losing the month yet again.

And that's not even taking into account that many people held off for the white Destiny bundle rather than buy in June/July/August.

X1 is going to get torched in September, at least 2 to 1, and probably more like 3 to 1 or 3.5 to 1.

No it won't, X1 was never outsold 2 to 1 in USA.

Yes, it has, and it will again in September.

Here are May's NPDs :

PS4 - 197k
3DS - 97k
XB1 - 77k
Wii U - 61k
360 - 57k
PSV - 56k
PS3 - 36k
Wii - 11k

But, I expect you to deny NPD :) You have a strong reputation for ignoring any facts which are inconvenient to your desires.

As Arkaign said, it already did in May. It also nearly hit that ratio in January, too. Your enthusiasm is appreciated, but you need to learn to distinguish that from reality.
