Forums - Gaming - I think I figured out why PS4 is really winning in sales against XB1.

I don't think he understands that the PS4 is on route to becoming one of the fastest selling consoles in the history of gaming and they are tracking it right now with the PS2 and its not doing badly at all. Thats just scary.

It's already fallen behind the Wii, and even that dominated and only got to 100 million.


Wii is a totally different animal than a Playstation. Playstation's continue to sell well when their successor has been released Nintendo products do not. But I get your point, I do not think the PS4 is going to even pass the Wii due to this generation being short (November2018 the PS5 will be released)

What I do not understand is why he looks at is as some kind of an insult. Trust me I could careless what anybody plays if that is what they enjoy. I would have one myself if MS made a new Age of Empires and made it exclusive to the XBOne lol


How am I looking at anything like an insult? All I originally said was that it's more like an opinion, which I still stand by. I like all three consoles, people can think whatever they want the stronger brand to be. 

If you was not you would have conceded that you are incorrect at this point....

But i'm not incorrect.  It's your opinion that i'm incorrect.

Sony sold beyond that in their first generation and how many generations has Nintendo had to figure out how to dominate? Please...the Wii blew its load in the first four years and slumped in sales and Nintendo cut the chord (You know this). Nintendo realized that the more stable gaming market that stands behind the 360 and PS3 was more of a sustainable market and outside of that tablets were cutting into the sales of handhelds (which is why Nintendo more than likely will put their hand into the tablet market). The Wii U was a venture to try and grab that market, but it failed and only hooked the hardcore Nintendo fanatics. Nintendo tried to make peace with third party but they were missing the hardware to do accomplish this. The Wii U is on route to selling worse than their worst selling console and its been around since 2012. 

The people who supported the Wii are not typical gamers. They don't stick around which is why the Wii U was not supported even though they tried to hold onto the confusing name.

The Playstation is the most dominant brand in the world. If you averaged out Sony's sales it would still average out to over 100 million in sales overall out of all of their gens. No brand can say this. Microsofts best generation was Sony's worst and Nintendos best gen was Sony's second best (Soon to be third best the way the PS4 is selling).

As it has been stated the "stronger brand" is not an opinion but a fact. Xbox has never even "won" a generation and you a comparing them to the winners of 3 out of 4?

You DO understand that Nintendo isn't even in this discussion and it is about how the PS brand is better than the Xbox right?


Then why did he include Nintendo console sales. 

Irrelevant. The thread has nothing to do with Sony vs Nintendo brand comparisons. Stop trying to bring it up.

Brand strength isn't subjective. Sony is the superior brand to Xbox.

Let's just agree to disagree. You can believe what you want and i'll belive what I want. This is just going in circles.

He's actually right, if you are talking about domination of the market Sony has over their time of being in the console industry dominated it. In context of time, this is a fact...its not an opinion. The numbers are there for all to see. Its obvious there is a subjective bias which you are bringing into the discussion. I think the Xbox One right now has better games than the PS4, but that is my opinion, but the PS4 is still dominating the One. That is a fact.

And I'm saying it doesn't matter who brought it up. Just drop it. Nintendo isn't in this thread...

Brand strength not subjective. Sony brand > Xbox brand.
