Polls are putting PS4 massively a head of Xbox One, yet the pre-orders are showing Xbox One is still selling even with all the negative press. Ignoring the morons that will simply say we are idiots for doing so, Microsoft have set out there plans and people are still buying because they like the games and the benefits/opportunities it gives. Microsoft its simple stick to your guns, include a game or two the $499 price and use the digital store to sell games for less than you can get on PS4 and you will have a big success initially. Follow this up with an offline mode like steam has and I think you might just win this next gen war everyone is shouting about.

It has only just begun. Besides that Americans totally dig their Microsoft consoles. Everywhere else though? Won't sell nearly as well.

The funny thing is that the Xbox consoles are manufactured in a Chinese sweatshop for super cheap. The only thing American about it is the name.

Just shows that for the last 7 years Cows have secretly been dying inside, losing sleep, and damn where near switching over to Nintendo or Microsoft. I suppose they finally have a reason to celebrate. But if the XB1 comes out of the gate faster in sales, sales will no longer matter. Bank on it.

Those are US numbers and SONY is outpacing the X1 3:2... in perspective for those that don't like math that approximately equates to 66.6= 67 to 99.9= 100

so about 67 X1's preordered for every 100 PS4's pre-ordered in the US. It is good to see that there are other people in this country that won't stand for that crap.

I would LOVE to see world numbers and total numbers.

Oh, and I went to the midnight release of The Last of Us last night. I talked to the manager and he told me due to production shortages most Gamestops in my area and most of the state will be limited to 10 Xbox One pre-orders, while they have been given the green ligh to have 56 PS4 pre-orders. Only 8 of the 56 have not been reserved while 8 of the 10 X1's have not been reserved. So, I know it is just ONE location. but it stands at 2 X1 pre-orders and 48 PS4 pre-orders. He also said he is pushing to get a higher number of PS4's to sell as pre-order, and is supposed to get an answer today.

I was unaware that production problems were such a big problem for the X1.... It seems as though they aretrying to jump the gun. They should slow things down a bit, or they are likely to have similar problems like the RROD.

no one knows. that's why its best to not judge a console until 2-3 years down the line. maybe even after the first year. but 6 months before is ridiculous

I like how people act as though a 3:2 ratio on this scale is NOT a big deal.... lmao

The ONLY people pre-ordering right now are the people who are pretty hardcore gamers who likely follow the industry pretty close. This is a good show of just how many die hard Xbox fanboys jumped ship. Total sales nearing the end of this console generation were almost identical, lets just say 140 million PS3's and 360's sold at 70 million each equals 50% SONY 50% Microsoft

now with that same 140 million if you take these numbers into consideration with a 3:2 ratio it would look like this.

SONY PS4 60% = 84 million compared to Microsoft Xbox One 40% = 56 million

84/56 = 1.5 3:2 ratio = 1.5 to 1

I know this is just crunching some numbers, however.... it proves people wrong that do not think a 3:2 eatio is a big deal IF that is the way tings play out in the end. Also, you need to take into account that the US will undoubtedly be Microsofts largest market.

That means that these numbers suggest that SONY has taken back 20% of the install base from Microsoft in the US alone... A 20% increase in market share isn't major in your biggest market? I am glad I don't have some of you working for me...

*edit* No these are not my predictions... as I pointed out though, a 3:2 ratio is a lot larger than some people seem to realize. Just putting it into perspective.

[QUOTE="AD216"] just like if the x1 finish the first few yrs with more exclusives and better multiplats, games wont matter either. AD216

 

I don't think that will happen.

no one knows. that's why its best to not judge a console until 2-3 years down the line. maybe even after the first year. but 6 months before is ridiculous

 

Sales of consoles influence developers and 3rd parties why do you think so many games did not make it to the xbox,and how ms all of a sudden got 3rd party support,whilke nintendo horrible sales had keep developers at a distance.

 

The PS4 will outsell the xbox one this holiday how badly who knows and that will weight in on developers and 3rd parties,oh and i did not even bring sony own games into the picture..
