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


Better not, in twitter he said only WiiU and PC is current gen... so he doesn't really like MS, he probably just want PS4 to really lose.

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.


... Even if ps4 outsells it by 1 unit every week the gap is still widening and certainly not closing. The X1 is not getting outsold 2:1 anymore so it's doing better but it is not catching up.

 

In a marathon a runner can start running faster and faster but he is not 'catching up' until the distance between him and the runner infront of him is shorter meaning he has to be running faster or 'outselling' the other runner. 

Anyone with that concept is simply wrong, all you can really say is that it's doing better, X1 will start catching up once it's outselling ps4.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

Smh, this guy doesn't speak for us xbox fans just take that into account.


Do you speak for all xbox fans then? I would hope no one person has the same feelings as every fan of a certain company or system, that'd be rather scary... unless you're a fan of the Borg, then it's understandable!

I don't disagree with you, but unfortunatelly that is the logic of some people.
