XBone v PS4 sales

[Slobbo]

It is surprising, NA was PS4s launch and priority, even dumping its homeland market to push sales in NA, and they got to sell it first in that territory on the opening weekend for a new console, and they still didn't make it.

Yes, no one thought the XO would be an out and out failure, but they sure as hell mostly said the PS4 would rubbish all over it, and it hasn't, even with the best possible advantage given to it.

Why would Sony go up against the Xbox without having an adequate supply of product? They surely knew all the reports would be 'Xbox beats PS4', and that that could turn more people towards Xbox.

Could be Sony rushed an unfinished PS4 out the door.

I still think this thread is 6 months premature tbh. The discussion is starting to go around in circles a little bit.

Just because 5 of his friends picked one up off the high street doesn't mean hundreds of thousands/millions of people who may want one can get one.

You only have to look at online stock trackers to see what the situation is:

Those who do have stock are price gouging.

Xbox One by comparison: http://wiialerts.com/get_categories.php?cid=38&cname=Microsoft Xbox One

I was going to post the same, but you know what.. this thread is now becoming so pointless.

Davey_Pitch is right, its too early.

the minute some news about sales is released, a poster quickly drops everything and rushes to update this thread..

"wow xbox out sold Ps4 "

"no ps4 outsold x1"

"lack of stock"

My friend this, my friend that.. Ok ok, both are doing well. Lets bookmark and revisit this thread in six months and see where it all is after it settles and stock gets into shops etc.. If there is indeed stock issues.

The only sensible sales figures to really judge by will be post Christmas 2014 once supply is not an issue, both consoles have had an opportunity to release in the main markets globally, unfinished "bits" are finished, a few post release exclusives and multiplat games are available and the more casual gaming market gets involved after the dedicated console gamers initial feeding frenzy.

I think it's time to close this up now, we are going around in circles a bit. I'll just lock it though, so we can come back to it in 6 months and people will be able to say "look, I told you so".
