He does know that in order foryhe XB1 to catch up it has to consistently outsell the ps4 in order to even out? The gap is getting bigger every week. Silly human.


It all depends of your concepts.... we have people saying X1 was catching up just because PS4 was outselling it by a smaller margin.

I guess we will hear a lot from the analyst (just like Michael Pachter) until his stats and predictions get blown to pieces...then we will have some nice and peaceful silence.

On the twitter comment... He wants to say X1/PS4 are still next gen, so current gen just WiiU and PC.

PS: because Next gen just start when Sony says so.

Even if for some reason he is trying to claim X1/PS4 are a gen ahead of Wii U, how are they possibly a gen ahead of PC?


Apply the same logic he uses to claim X1 will match PS4 sales and you may get how much sense he makes. And/or maybe were he lives he just have access to PC from 5 years ago.

So where do I sign up to become an "independent" analyst? Doesn't look like it takes too much skill to be one.

Horrible to think that there are investors out there that listen to what people like this tell them.

Also, great tweet btw:


I think better than be independent analyst is to be an employed one... but you could apply on misterxmedia, he says he is a insider, he may get you a position.

Doesn't he also say that there is still a secret sauce hidden on the X1 that is going to make it stronger than the PS4? Sorry, but I'd rather talk to a sane person.

So you would be better to stay away from analysts...............

Jumpinbeans - Independent Analyst - Predictions for 2015

PS4 will sell very well (loads and loads)
XBOX will sell ok, until they cut the price again when it will sell better.

There you have it - a better forecast than the analyst and I wasn't paid a penny for it.

Obviously, because the PS players are from the hardcore crowd. When some of them feel the need of having a secondary console, they'll obviously go for the X1 instead of the WiiU; thus setting in motion what johnlucas was saying about being victor while being the secondary console of the players.


there was a maneuver that one user here proposed to make sure all X360 players upgraded and warrant they passing PS4 fast... ambassor upgrade program... Bring your X360 and exchange it for a X1 free of charge...

Since MS pockets are so deep it wouldn't cost them too much, just like 400x80M = 32B... pocket change for MS. Not sure what would make more sense, this or thinking WiiU is so casual that you should avoid it even as secondary console. (think like this, if you are a Sony fan you will buy an X1 as secondary console, if you are Ninty fan you buy and X1 as secondary, and if you are MS fan you buy a WiiU as secondary... so in sum X1 would be ahead as secondary).

A lot more possible than most analysts... so you probably won't be paid for it.

Sadly there's a 70% chance it won't happen.

Who is this analyst? Let me give him a hug!

You are quite optimistic.
