Forums - Sales - Prediction: Xbox One will sell more than the PS4 in Europe in 2015

I should probably try and say this in a nicer way but I really can't bring myself to do so.

This prediction is absolutely ludicrous, there is no way that this is going to happen.

Interesting.
1) I have never heard of anybody who buys a console based on the OS being similar to their PCs.
2) Halo could grow. But I don´t think it has much growth potential (10-20% Max).
3) Xbone already is cheaper than PS4.
4) People (the real sim fans) will be waiting for GT7.
5) ...Maybe
6) Yup MS will definitely buy every game on earth and thus win the gen. (You have to consider how much this would cost)

Edit: I can see MS grow in the UK battling it out with PS4. However Mainland will be different


1.) That's because there's never been a console with a similar OS to PC's besides Windows 8, and that only didn't boost Xbox sales because Windows 8 sucks.

2.) 20% on top of 2m in a market like Europe is still pretty huge. And to sell ~2.5m in Europe alone ALOT of Xbox's will have to be sold.

3.) Not in most European markets...

4.) Whataya mean real sim fans? Forza is a better racing sim...the reviews don't lie.

6.) I didn't say every game..but a few massive exclusives

 

Just one thing : Forza 5, so-called simulation without qualifications, pit crew, day/night cycle, dynamic weather effects, Suzuka and other important details, earned a poor Metascore.

This is a very limited and incomplete vision of racing.

This franchise is resting on its laurels since the seconde episode. Still lack of effective innovation.

The experience proposed by the lastest iteration of Gran Turismo is far more richer and exhaustive, and yet, this is just a PS3 game. 

Turn10 is a team of talented people, but the problem is that since ten years, they always choose the easy way out. 



I give this joke thread 6/10. Not bad.

GT3 - 15m

GT4 - 12m

GT5 - 10m

GT6 - 2m

A little perspective goes a long way...

VGC:

GT - 10.95m

GT2 - 9.49m

GT3 - 14.98m (the most bundled in the franchise)

GT4 - 11.66m

GT5 - 10.52m

GT6 - 3m (released next to the launch of a new console)

*Polyphony Sales Figures (as of Mar 2013):

Gran Turismo 10,850
Gran Turismo 2 9,370
Gran Turismo 3 A-spec 14,890
Gran Turismo Concept Series 1,560
Gran Turismo 4 “Prologue” 1,400
Gran Turismo 4 11,730
Gran Turismo 5 “Prologue” 5,350
Gran Turismo PSP 4,220
Gran Turismo 5 10,660

Outside of the anomaly, GT6, the series has been a consistent seller of 9-11 million.

I'm sure GT6 is undertracked



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Surely this is a joke thread lol. 

Also "This gap will probably be around 5m by years end due to Sony's lower pricing in Europe."

I'm pretty sure XB1 is lower priced in most of Europe, it's getting sales pretty much everywhere.


I'm pretty sure it isn't...even in the UK (the only country where M$ seems to give a shit atm) the PS4 is cheaper and has better deals

You mean "only in the UK" because that's the only place where Sony even need to compete.

Someone should make a thread: ''Why PS4 will outsell XB1 4:1 WW next year'' That has a bigger chance happening.


That would be a great joke thread, It didn't even sell it 2:1, close but 4:1 will never happen. MS is on it's way back up, however Europe I don't think will be as easy to change position. This is a very gutsy prediction, I wonder if he is getting inside information.

He has made some very bold predictions.

I would be happy if they came true.

2014 so far:

PS4 12.14m

XB1 6.37m

That's practically 2:1...

"I wonder if he is getting inside information." - Wat. No, he is just posting a blatantly obviously wrong prediction to win an imaginary contest.

Bold: Well if reviews don't lie you'd have to say GT6 was better than Forza 5. If you only want to match up numbers you'd still have to say GT5 was a lot better than Forza 5. So if the reviews DO sometimes lie, what gives Forza the advantage over the megafranchise Gran Turismo?

So you are saying he is Delusion or possibly under the influence of some killer mushrooms?



At least this has made 2015 more amusing.



 

The PS5 Exists.

No I am saying 2014 was roughly 2:1. In Europe it was much worse though even though PS4 was supply constrained there for the first few months. It's almost 3:1 there. 

To be honest it's more likely that he ends up right than OP lol, simply because Europe is an extreme stronghold for Playstation. Even PS3 managed to gain a huge gap over 360 last gen despite launching 18 months later there and being a lot more expensive. MS treats Europe as third grade citizens and thus the reception they get there is appropriate. The only place they try anything is the UK and in the rest of Europe retailers just have XB1 firesales themselves to get rid of stock.
