Forums - Gaming - Why is PS4 still outselling the X1 in America?

I can't seem to understand this. America has always been an FPS land and Xbox One is the place for it they are releasing a Halo Remaster collection in a few weeks, a COD bundle with exclusive content. And no offense to the PS4 but what good AAA games is releasing for it?  Xbox got Sunset Overdrive, Forza Horizon 2, Halo Remaster for this fall, and they got Quantum Break in the spring. The ps4 has Driveclub in the fall, and The Order in the spring. So, as for as exclusive games go the Xbox One is the king. Also the X1 is 400$ now in America same as PS4 so I would expect better sales for X1.

Why do you think the PS4 is still outselling the X1?   Do you think that exclusive games are no longer the deciding factor and perhaps media bias may have a big role in all of this.


It was the DRM screw up. Too much mainstream bad press for MS. People got spooked and jumped ship to Sony's side. That's pretty much it.

With all due respect, the OP predicted in another thread that PS4 and XBO would be 1:1 in Japan. So yeah.

He also predicted this...

Yikes...  while equally as outrageous, I was referring to this gem:

OP - " I predict that by Q1 2016, Xbox One will outsell the PS4 in USA 3:1. in Europe 2:1. And Japan will be 1:1 ratio it can go either way."

OMG, that was even worse!! I even offered to fix the title of the thread. (My comment is at the last page)

Well the OP seems to not know about any PS4 AAA I mean how can you leave out Bloodborne and just mention the Order? Or LBP3? Or all of the 3rd party games? 3rd party games have always(to me anyway) played a bigger part in sells than exclusives. And I thought QB was releasing in the fall not spring? Also you made the mistake of stating that America has "always" been FPS land which is not true at all(NES/SNES/PS1/PS2 all say hello).

And a lot of people make it seem like MS has always had the US but heck it only had it with the 360 before that it was all NIN and Sony. IMO the PS4 is still beating it because it is the more "desired" console, Sony PR has been top notch. MS did not have all the advantages it has last gen to take the US. And to top it off MS came stumbling out the gate very badly. So to wonder why the PS4 is outselling the XB1 is kind of silly IMO. It would be better to ask why would it not be as others have already stated.

2016 is far away anything can happen.



I trust no one, not even myself.

Soooo.... the PS4 will wipe the X1 out of existence? You did say that anything can happen and it's a two-way street... :S

I don't believe that you really think this is possible:  First the Xbox 360 never even got 2:1 over the PS3... but you are insisting that 3:1 is possible?  And 2:1 in Europe?  AND 1:1 in Japan... really in Japan?  Come on.  You can create predictions where the Xbox One come out on top WW that aren't so incredibly unlikely as what this prediction calls for.

If you are always ignoring the ps4 exclusives, pretending they don't exist, discrediting and ignoring indies and the superior 3rd party games then I can see how someone can be confused. It's really not hard to understand why Ps4 is selling better if you remove bias and look at reality. Better hardware, higher quantity and quality of games. That is why. Better games, more games, better hardware. Hardware designed first and foremost for games and not as an after thought like Xb1 was.

Exactly. I'm going to ignore all the reasons it's selling better than the XB1 and then I'm going to ask the question, why is it selling better than the XB1? I'm seeing this all over the internet at the moment and it's mindboggling.
