Forums - Gaming - Why is Xbox One Now Outselling The PS4?

Actually, the numbers that have been released so far in the month of November have shown that the PlayStation 4 has outsold the Xbox One thus far. Now, it's possible by the end of this month Xbox One have overtaken the sales, but currently, the PS4 is outselling Xbox One. Globally and in the United States.

Sometimes XBox 1 improving itself does come at PS4's expense: XB1 gets backwards compatibility which contrasts against the PS4 which does not.

Chalk one up for XBox.

This is the kinda subjective stuff i dont wan to get into. 

BC is not as important as you think it is. It's not something that XB1 just got. it's been there for years and it hasn't made a difference. People aren't buying these consoles to play their last gen games. Its only important if you are looking to make a list. Of what one can do and the other somethiIf that kinda thing is somehow important to you. 

And ig that's what you want to do then be fair. Eg, PS4 has PSnow, PSVue, PSshareplay (that lets you let you friends play your own games from their house and without them having the game at all), Remote play (that's even on PCs now too), PSVr....etc.

These are all nice things to have. But every single one of them qualifies as a subjective thing. They are nice, but not why anyone will go out and actually buy something. Well all buy PSVr. people could actually buy a console just for that. 



Jega doing these threads now cause he knows he can't make them in 3 weeks, lol
Enjoy the baiting dude

According to who?



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Japan and UK. No links for now. Maybe later.

Again, like I said, it helps with XBox's image and can also persuade someone who owns many 360 games to pick up an XB1 over a PS4.

We've gotten 1 week of numbers out of the UK. The PS4 had a 33% advantage...

Edit: So wait, we're talking about WW sales here? Thought this was just about the US, UK, and Australia.

There's another thread about those countries I believe. 



Because Pro and Xbox One S...

This will not be a fair comparison until Scorpio releases and punches the Pro off a cliff...

It isn't holiday yet so those sales doesn't count.

Well it does count right now :) It will just be nothing in 2 months hehe

I see, since this is a leaping year (366 days) then the sales from June to October counts and holidays are meaningless, got you.

Constructive comments are irrelevant in response to someone who isn't looking for a constructive discussion and isn't serious. I think Jega has lost the benefit of the doubt several times over by now. He's a troll, simple as.

If the topic bothers you that much, stay out of it. I'm not seeing any rules broken in the OP, so staying on topic is your best bet. However, insults won't do you any favors.

CGI, you have saw all the answers after, the lack of participation of OP, his posting (and threading) behaviors to know very well what is the objective of this thread and that the OP shouldn't be forgiving so easily for his hacking and even the postings after the warning deserving aditional individual warning isn't the way VGC goes.

And about this thread not breaking rules you know it does when it's done with baiting intent, even more when it's bait and run.

Isn't that upscaler the same upscaler your 4K TV does anyway? UHD Blu-Ray I can understand, but upscaler? 

I'm not that proficient in the art of resolution but I think if there's 4k content and a 4k TV, it looks better than just having a TV upscale by itself.

From what we learned from more tech guys if your tv have a good upscaler (most medium to top TVs have) then it's unnecessary to have the X1S upscaler on IQ, but it have an upperhand on lag increase, so if input lag is important to you then X1S upscaler is a better option than the TV upscaler.

The same cliff Xbox original pushed PS2 right?
