This is very interesting, even tho the Xbox One has "the best lineup in the history" yet the ps4 outsold the xbox one in america despite the fact "Sony admit this year they has weak 1st party lineup".
Next year will be interesting as Blockbuster exclusives like Uncharted 4, Persona 5, Horizon Zero Dawn, Last Guardian, Ratchet & Clank drop in + console exclusives such as No Man's Sky and Street Fighter V.
Not to mention of Kingdom Heart III and Final Fantasy XV where they have a strong bond with the PS Platform.
Yes, Despite not Being Exclusive over 80-85% of the Sales of Final Fantasy, and Kingdom Hearts, will be on Playstation, like the Majority of Metal Gear Solid Sales were on Playstation 4 (and this game had Guns) In terms of Sales this 2 Titles Sell Consoles Like Exclusives for Sony.
Funny the Xbox outsold the PS4 LAST holiday season, but not this one. Halo 5 and Tomb Raider didn't boost sales much.
MS most be feeling like a Dragon Ball character that finally reached their prime, just to find out that Goku was not fighting %100
US only for Xbox, dismal for the rest of the world.
Seems like the Xbox One runs realy badly outside of US and UK. If you compare 9,7 M (US) to 17,8 M (Wordwide), this means MS could sell only 8,7 M in the rest of the world. This is les than in the US and those 8,7 M include already UK, if you subtract the UK sale numbers it gets even whorse.
On the other hand the PS4 sold 10,9 M in US and over 21M in the rest of the wolrd. This is nearly 2,5 times more as MS. Conclusion: The battel for US (and UK maybe) is realy close and Sony is leading only by a smal margin. But in the rest of the word the PS4 is dominating and MS lost the war already.
PS4 takes back the lead for November and puts a million sales in gap! Great, but sales are very close in the US this gen...
Here in the Netherlands the prices are crazy right now, ps4 is 289, xbox one plus one free game of choice is 245 and the Wii U with a game is 299, won't see that wii u number go up much if the prices don't change and altough xbox is a great deal, not many people seem to buy it, even many of the games are cheaper, like fallout is 42 euro's cheapest on xbox and 49 on ps4 but only the ps4 version seems to sell, weird generation but #omg #Ps4 #sales
Aww Hugs Wii U
