Forums - Sales Discussion - X1 is putting up a fight in the US and the UK and it's very competitive there, might win those regions

If Xbone sell500k and PS4 none in the UK next week then it will outsell it in the next week already.

So strong.

the X360 was very strong in the US and the UK last generation.

This generation the X1 is extremely competitive in those regions, and has even managed to outsell the PS4 a few times there,

most recently  in the UK lats week.

Now in the US Ps4 sold only  20 % more

Which is by far something remarkable, and the tides can turn at any point.

In the UK the PS4 sold a bit more total, 35 % more than the X1.

The thing is X1 managed to double its sales in the US and UK by having a price cut and unbundling kinect.

Now in the UK thanks to Fiafa bundling it is outselling the PS4.

Now Microsoft's strategy last generation was to buy a lot of exclusives, they can easily replicate this strategy this generation and have X1 outsells PS4, even globally.

This generation is far from over  and the next big exclusive will show this.

Based on my calculations if the X1 sales double in the US it only needs 16 weeks to match PS4 total sales

In the UK it only needs 17 weeks to do the same.

If Microsoft turns this arround, it needs very little time to catch up with the Ps4 in the US and the UK.

"Now in the UK thanks to FIAFA....." (Hehe)

Anything can happen, but dont you think your predictions are one sided. The PS4 also has exclusives and deals coming up this holiday and ahead. They wont just go on cryostasis or something similar



It's nice to want things.

PS4 already is selling better in UK again by a good margin.

And September will be the biggest gap in sales since last year... it will be 200-300k diffference in PS4 favor.


It's not that big of a margin, considerably lower than other regions

Yay, another thread from the Drill that will likely be locked like his other one..



It's close to Xmas, and people are already buying presents. Europe doesn't have black friday so people buy stuff earlier, to be able to afford presents to everyone. Kids in england was all over the XB division when i was over there on Holiday. Parents will ofc buy the cheapest version. It took XB1 5 price cuts so congratulation :) It's a win ;)

Yeap but you are talking to comeback only in US and UK, no?

UK GAP: ~400k
US GAP: ~700k

Xbone outsold PS4 two or three weeks in UK this year by like 1k... everything else PS4 outsold it by more than 1k.
Xbone outsold PS4 in US... wait that didn't happened... it lost every single month.

You believe Xbone will take UK and US if it sell more than double of PS4... there is the issue Xbone won't sell more than PS4... maybe it will barely sell one week but will again be below the next week.

It will be like that the whole generation... one console have a monthly base sales biggers than the other... it is fine.

It is not the PS360 case where both have comparable monthly sales (with a bit advantage to PS3) and they tied due the year head launch of 360.

This time there is a gap bettwen the monthly base sales.
