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

It's all because of the pre launch version/vision of Microsoft. End of story.


I would like to argue that with the proposition that MS has no vision, they've been changing one policy after another to appease random people.

You don't do that if you have a vision.

The PS4 is winning because more people are buying it.
Pretty simple if you ask me.

The launch played a BIG role, tho. Had MS not taken crazy pills that day and had similar policies/focus to start, it would have simply been titles/specs game and it would have been close. I'd have gotten an XB1 first, myself.

As it is, XB has lost way too much ground and their policies left a bad taste in too many ppl's mouths (I still refuse to buy an XB1).

That is no reason to not get an XBOne. MS had a vision for the XBOne and it is not what the majority of people wanted they realized this and fixed it. How can you possibly be angry with them?

The reason I am not getting an XBOne is because it is getting no exclusives, I can play virtually everything on it on my PC.

What is a game it has besides MCC (do not like Halo at all) that I can not play on my PS4 or PC?

Alrighty then, so they should continue to do what people do not want and make people more mad?

Simplistic methodology, but effective. LOL

Not really angry. Just lost the motivation to give them my money. Less "arrr!" More "IDC..."

As much as i'm loving my Xbox One right now, MS is the most out of touch of all of the companies with both the console and PC realm on a fundamental level. They constantly have to change their decisions that they wanted because essentially what they want to do is turn the console into a PC. Thats why they came into the race into the first place, they sensed Sony was doing it and jumped in before they became too much of a force if they couldnt partner with them while they were dominating. 

Regardless, I say thank goodness for Phil Spencer.

I am more of a Playstation gamer but right now Microsoft is killing with Killer Instinct, Ori and the Blind Forest, Halo: MCC (Is flipping amazing), and other third party exclusives that Microsoft has been able to gain to edge out Sony. Outside of that Sony has Microsofts number. This is why I love having both, because I can bounce around between them, but right now MS is desperate to beat Sony so when they are desperate their gamers get more. :)

Let's take a look at these 6 games shall we.


Grand Theft Auto V (a remaster of a PS3 game that's also on xbone)

The Last of Us Remastered (a lazy remaster of a PS3 game where they charged you full price)

flower (a game that has been on the PS3 for years and also Vita. Oh, and it only has 11 reviews. And it doesn't deserve its score.)

Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition (a remaster of a PS3 game that is also on xbone)

Rayman Legends (overrated and on any console imaginable)

Fez (another small indie game that has been out for years and everyone with a 10 year old pc can play)

Yeah, next time don't use metacritic as an argument. All these games are also on PS3.


You totally missed his point. He is saying that there are more games on PS4 than Xbox One (true).   He is saying that there are more games with higher ratings (which is true regardless of what they are).

I would take Bloodborne of every MS exclusive to be honest lol. 

I agree with most of what you have said but for my situation I do not see a point in getting a XBOne. I have a PS3, PS4, Gaming PC, and a Wii U that gives me access to literally 95% of games so I am good lol.
