Yahh PS4 2.5 greater sales for the year really show that, x1 is scraping by its strong release to bad quickly is being made irrelevent overall.  Any one not lying to them selves can see that.

The Xbox One will catch the PS4 globally because of China, those guys are starved for entertainment (as you can tell from the boffo box office of Transformers 4).

Well with the help of Vgchartz it will maybe outsold the Ps4 worldwide. Ps4 is still severely undertracked.

We have a new Toastboy. c':

Being made irrelevant overall?? Not really because games like Quantum Break, Halo, and the new Gears of War haven't gotten here yet, and other third party deals that Microsoft may/may not unleash. Believe me, Microsoft knows that they are in the hole, and they have methods to get out. 

Same old list and ?? you forget PS has doubly the big franchises to throw at them

No they realisticaly dont, they will not buy them selves out if it thought many one here fail to understand.  Ms is a business and they are in it to make $ not full fill fanboyish dreams of fighting sony and PS and beating them at massive finencial cost.  

And i ment making its release numbers irrelevent, but yes eventulally even the whoel console as a whole.

But it's still being beaten now the prices are the same. Have you been following the numbers?

Microsoft is investing in new 1st party content as well. 

Yes they do have methods to get out. Does the Tomb Raider deal ring a bell? Call it controversial, anti-gamer, or whatever, but Microsoft can leverage things like that to sell consoles. Yes they want to make money, but why would they compete (and invest so much) if they weren't in it to win?

The thing is, as far as the global market goes, this prediction coming true would require Microsoft to dominte the U.S. market even more than the 360 did, since by what little info we have, the Xbox One is doing even more poorly in Europe than its predecessor did. Sure, Microsoft might invest in new 1st party content on a regular basis (which would be a pretty big change to their somewhat stale attitude during the last half of the 360 generation, but since they're losing, they might indeed make more effort now,) equal out the price, etc, etc... I don't even think that them achieving a parity, or lead, in the U.S. is out of the question, given Halo, CoD, etc, etc appeals greatly in North America and the U.K. But extending that to insist it will have even the SAME level of dominance in the U.S. that the Xbox 360 did is stretching things, because they're not launching from anywhere near the position of strength they had last gen, and Sony isn't launching from anywhere near the position of weakness they had with the PS3.

And, as said before, to catch up globally, they are going to need to be even MORE dominant this generation, in the U.S., than they were last generation.

"All lot of people I know..." Pretty much stopped there. I'll never understand how some people can maintain the notion that what occurs in their social bubble or immediate vicinity is somehow reflective of the entire picture. Also, where was this "games sell gaming consoles" mentality in the latter half of last gen, when PS3 getting boatloads of exclusive AAA exclusives?

Stop this BS of pretending PS4 somehow doesn't have its own share of big exclusives coming, because if paid attention to just Gamescom, you know it has plenty.
