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

And no offense to the PS4 but what good AAA games is releasing for it?

Why would anyone be offended? This is just your personal opinion..

The PS4 is selling because of superior multiplats and the inevitable great exclusives further down the line.

Microsoft goofed one too many times with the x1



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

PS4 is more powerful at the same price, gets real exclusives, and gets Bloodborne in February.

XB1 screwed the pooch at its reveal, can't secure exclusives because MS and devs benefits from pc game sales, and just isn't as good.



Because America doesn't have loyalty. One gen, it was Nintendo land (NES, SNES), then it was PS land (PS1, PS2), then it was Xbox land (360). Just because Xbox had America last gen doesn't mean it'll have it this gen.

XBL isn't vastly superior to PSN anymore, so multiplayer FPS is just as good on PS4. Yea, there's the Halo MCC, but those are just old games. Not enough flip the table on PS. You really think the XBone should get America because it's getting games from a decade ago?

Coupled with the fact that the PS4 being the more popular console = domino effect. Because friends will get the consoles most of their friends are on. And then all the other little things, like better multiplats. This all adds up to XBone losing in America.

If you "don't understand" that, then you're just pulling the wool over your own eyes



MS shot themselves in the foot and the PS4 has overshadowed it ever. Also, the PS4 has LBP3 and GTAV bundles coming soon so it should continue to stay ahead of the Xbox 1.

Lol exclusives are a very big factor still, people obviously aren't as blind as you and see that PS4 has more coming soon.



@op you forgot to mention bloodborne in your argument.

BTW saw yesterday a video of quantum break and it looks awesome. Alone, not worth a console purchase, but awesome nonetheless.

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.


you dont really know about the PS4 exclusives that are about to be released...

i bet you all of this games are gonna get better reviews than driveclub and the order... aside from that there are plenty of reasons to own a PS4 but one of the strongest reasons is the simply better multiplats, and since COD is the biggest FPS currently i bet a lot of gamers are gonna buy the PS4 just to play the better version of said game, especially now that the controller is not a problem since it has been improved enormously.

there are a plenty of other reasons like how Sony has been doing a great job at pleasing the core gamers since 2009 all the way to now, the fact that the Playstation consoles get more support through the years than any other console (in other words they have better legs), the variety in games (japanese and western games, AAA games all the way to indie games etc).

The fact that the PS consoles are like Wine they get better with the years since they get more and MORE exclusives every year, (just look at how many PS3 exclusvies were released on 2013).

there are plenty of reasons actually for owning a PS4.



Because Xbots never existed. There is absolutely no brand loyality in US.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Last gen Microsoft was in the lead because Sony screwed up so much stuff, and released the PS3 much later. This gen they switched on messing stuff up, and Microsoft suffered like Sony did early on, though the PS3 ended up still catching up the the 360 console sales, even after all of that. I don't see the One ever catching up this gen, especially when the PS4 has already sold over double the amount. PS4 is where it's at this gen, either come aboard or be left behind.
