Forums - Sales - Xbox One is Closing the Gap Homie

I highly doubt Microsoft's line-up will do much to impact Wii U sales. Nintendo has a completely different audience. Who even cares though? After the prior generation Nintendo is showing its doing its own thing and doesn't have a line-up that compares in anyway to what Microsoft and Sony is doing. I hardly call it a big deal that Microsoft beats NIntendo when Microsoft's real competitior that has more similarities is Sony who is trouncing them.

Please tell me some of those things.

What are the things PS4 does better other than hardware power?

That is literally all there is between the two from an unbiased POV.

Isn't that all you need? When people see third party multiplats and see the "Best Edition" with the PS4 version, which version are they going to get?

The version their friends are playing, with the exclusives they like? How do you think PS3 multiplats sold well?

And third party games on PS4 do not come with "best edition" on the box. The average gamer is completely uninformed about all of this. The other day I heard a group of kids talking about how the XB1 was more powerful. I mean god knows where they heard it, and they're obviously wrong. But your average gamer that doesn't visit the net is far less enlightened than you think.

I thought you didn't care for ancetodatal evidence?

No, you can't have it both ways. Something is selling XB1's, it's either exclusives or multiplats (in reality it's both but considering you don't think either are worthy). End of the day, XB1 has outsold WiiU at nearly every avenue save the past couple of months where they have been on par (and in terms of shipments XB1 is constantly shipping more).

So what is it?

Yes, you are correct, the Xbox  One was outselling Wii U in the past months, but that changed since MK8 was released. Exclusives and Multiplatform games may push Xbox One's sales, BUT Wii U is going to have stronger sales due to Super Smash. Xbox One can't match that, the closest thing they've got is the Master Chief Collection, but I don't expect it to have the same impact. 

Not really, and the weeks it has it's been miniscule amounts. Smash isn't the saviour you think it is.

Just like multyplats are not the saviours you think they are.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

They are tho, they're the reason XB1 will sell 40m+.

Wow, you REALLY think Sunset Overhype is going to move consoles?  Take a look at the Amazon rankings for the bundle, then come back and tell me again how it's going to sell Xbox units...(hint, it's below #200)



Don't forget about the Amiibos!  Look at how they are selling on Amazon right now...this is going to be a HOT item for kids this holiday!  (and maybe for grown up kids too!)

Did you get a PS4 at launch? I did. The thing pretty much didn't WORK for a few days. PSN goes down for maintenance as well, unlike XBL. I had the PS4 from launch until spring, and it was nothing like what you're saying. 


I got them both at launch. I'm east coast USA and was up and online as soon as I got home and didn't have any troubles with it. Xb1 on otherhand was down first day and was riddled with lag and unexpect drops the first week. XBL goes down just as much as PSN for maintanence. Even more so when they were fixing the UI. I honestly don't believe you had it at all I'm sorry but I had no problem with it what so ever during that time and neither have any of my friends on it.

On the other hand, I've had XBL since 2003 and not ONE single time... not ONCE, did it ever "go offline for maintanence. XBL doesn't even offically DO that, so I don't know what you're talking about.

You are so full of shit. They go down to maintanence all the time http://www.screwattack.com/news/update-microsoft-says-xbox-live-was-down-due-routine-maintenance  (take note of the word "routine" as in they do it all the time)  Then they always go down  because a new game came out like titanfall...http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2014/03/11/xbox-live-down-on-titanfall-launch-day/ I could also give a shit that that spent all day looking for any evidence that PSN had any down time on launch. GJ ya found some tweets from the UK that has sketchy internet at best where a few people had problems. As I said anyone here in the US at least on the east coast didn't have any problems. At this point I don't beleive you have ever owned either of them since you so obviously have no idea wtf you are talking about.

All Hail the Jester King. The King is back, and I am still a dirty girl prof ;)

What is the limit for necro-bumping threads? this could be fun in a few months, the numbers are just insane.
I do believe that X1 will reduce the gap in September (not by 500k), not so sure about the rest of the year, but the amounts proposed don't make sense.
