Maybe. But power alone justifys the purchase for the same price. Can either of you tell me something the x1 does better that justifys the price parity with the ps4?


Don't forget that ps4 also does games better, interface better, customer service better, multiplayer better, variety better, 3rd party better, 1st party better, premium online service better, so yeah add in controller and hardware and it's easy to see ps4 does everything better. Which explains the 2:1 margin.

And that is all entirely opinion only. None of what you stated is factual like the hardware advantage.

@eva - to someone entirely on the fence then yesy, the extra juice in PS4 is worth the purchase over an XB1. But choices like that are not made in a vaccume, and where your friends are, what exclusives you like and the OS/system are far greater, important to take into consideration (given the power gap isn't showing to be huge anymore).

My point was, PS4 does not do lots of things better, it does one thing better, hardware power. And not by a huge margin.


You may say that, but the numbers are really not stacked in your favor. Opinion? Maybe some of it is, but its enough to make people buy the PS4 over the X1 in most cases. Things like 3rd party games and first party games can be stacked aswell. The number of games offered by PS plus can be stacked against gold. The number of online F2P games and services not placed behind a paywall can be quantified. 

You see, there is more than opinion, there are some pretty hard facts that are difficult to dismiss. Sales really say that they are quite clear. I dont think its all because X1 started on a bad leg with the unveil, its that the PS4 is offering great value and the X1 can't match that until is cheaper than the PS4.



Around the Network

PS4 is winning because A) Bad Xb1 price/start and B) popular in Europe/Japan, playstation always has been.

"The gap should decrease 500k at least"

Just no. I'm willing to bet with anyone that XB1 won't even sell 500k in September globally

Sure, let's make that bet. I say that the Xbox One will sell 500k or more units in September on a global basis.

If I win, you'll go back to your pezus account and Ninsect gets permabanned. If I lose, I will reveal all of the alt accounts that I had over the years.

I don't expect to lose.

September this year, right? I don't want some trickery in this. I will take the bet.

So the Xbox One considers the Wii U their competition, not the PS4?

No, PS4 is winning because of better hardware and double the amount of games.



So, the XB1 flopped in Japan, eh?? I guess we can cross off tier 2 countries off the list, next to bundles, Titanfall and a price drop.
