Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbone fails to outsell Ps4 despite biggest launch of year

This excuse of Microsoft only wanting the US and Uk is embarrassing. Sony is winning where it matters most to these corporations: WORLDWIDE!

And what should they be worried about??? Even if nothing changes and we keep the same market share... XBO can still be viable.....
And that's pretty much all that matter... Being first in business is not required to be very lucrative and not need this ain't sport...


Sure, because selling a console at a loss + 2 free games is lucrative. 



Bump due to Ps4 godly numbers this week.....



Currently own:

 

  • Ps4

You always sell at a loss consoles... This market is like the printer market.. You don't make or very little money on the device you capitalize on the consumable and services behind... But yeah you a right Sony is so good at making profit that their yearly results blind us with all that money they make... Pretty sure MS capitalize more by ratio on games and service purchased after the purchase of the initial console than Sony...

but yeah you are right buddy... Anyway have a Nic turkey day



So only chance X1 has is next year with Halo 5. After failing to even win 1 week this year I have my doubts.

What a dumb strawman. You dont always sell a console at loss, thats ridiculous. You usually sell at loss during the launch and first year probably, only this time Sony is already making profit per PS4 sold. 

And the point is not wheter or not Sony is making money (they are with the PS4, which is only thing relevant in this discussion, other divisions are dragging them down) but the losses mirosoft is willing to take with the xbox just to create a bigger userbase than the PS4 and its still failing

I am pretty sure the current price of the Xbox one plus 2 games means they are selling it at a loss. It think is was 329 dollars this week?
