Yeah, XB1 really showed that when there was nothing exclusive releasing and there were no deals going on during Q1-Q3 this year.

So, tell me what changed?  what do you think did this?  Could it.... no... surely.... please dont tell me price is 95% of the reason..... it cant be that because people ridiculed that opinion.

The only reason XB1 is outselling the PS4 in the UK (and US) currently is that it's having way better deals than the PS4, deals Microsoft wont continue into 2015. If the price is even then PS4 will outsell it.

Shame we don't hear anything about Black Friday from other countries, might put things into a bit more perspective


US and UK are the biggest black friday shopper.
mainland europe is slowly adopting that shopping day, too

if u talk about console sales i would expect nice wow console sales, too
and ps4 ahead of xb1 by a big margin. nothing fenzy :D

Doesn't really exist outside US (and now UK!) in any big form does it?


Getting bigger every year in Europe.

And I don't know why people keep going on about 'domination' in a mocking tone. Wasn't that for worldwide?  Either way, keep concentrating on just two countries if it suits you

I know, I agree.  But when I said price was a massive factor earleir this year many many people scoffed and said no... PS4 is just better in every regard, price isnt relevant.

Price is THE major factor... always is, always will be.

Agreed

Some proof would be nice, I very much doubt it's anywhere near US/UK levels.

As for the latter, I've not even mentioned that thanks.

Was at game at 12 on black friday and saw 10-20 ps4 being bought, where as the Xbox one sold out in minutes and i had to collect next day (i know not representative of the UK), i think we shall see the xbox overtake the PS4 in the coming months.


I think not given the drought on X1 and PS4s early 2015 exclusives.  You all need to open your eyes and accept it took many factors for X1 to match PS4 sales.

Brand loyalty does play a part too

Didn't say you did, hence 'people' not 'Seece'.

Thanks
