PS4 sales to outsell Xbox One by 20 million by end of 2016 - analyst
The company predicts that not only will the format holder finish this year with 50 million worldwide PS4 sales---their prediction was penned prior to Sony’s sales announcement earlier this week---but Xbox One sales will stagnate year-on-year and fail to hit their 30 million target. DFC’s analyst was on point in terms of PS4 sales, there’s a chance that the console may indeed hit that 20 million lead over its rival.
Microsoft of course does not divulge exact sales figures for its current-generation console, although it has been reported many times that PS4 is enjoying a significant lead over its rival in terms of worldwide sales. Indeed, with the system now at 50 million units sold worldwide, it’ll be interesting to see just how well the Xbox One can stack up for the remainder of the year.
In recent months, Microsoft has gained some ground in the U.S. thanks to the release of the Xbox One S, plus a series of high-profile exclusives including Forza Horizon 3 and Gears of War 4. This has resulted in the Xbox One topping PS4 in monthly sales over there, although last month Sony secured the top-selling hardware position thanks to the release of the PS4 Pro.
It’s been quite a significant year for Sony in regards to hardware releases in fact, with not only the PS4 Pro hitting stores as mentioned, but also the PS4 Slim, a trimmer version of Sony’s flagship console that replaces the existing, standard model, plus of course PlayStation VR. Microsoft, however, is waiting until holiday 2017 to unleash the next iteration of its Xbox family, namely the Xbox Scorpio, which will reportedly be the most powerful games console ever made.

Playstation still benefiting from being a through and through games console instead of trying to be to many things at once and thinking they can control the market.

Earn PS4 sales have been killing Xbox One sales ever since they both came out. I've made the switch from Xbox 360 to PS4 as I see it as the better console for gaming, Xbox One is more entertainment focused.
It is but I'm a fan of using it as an entertainment device. Xbox One had a rough start due to the price and gained some momentum recently, but they just need to cut the prices down for the thing.. if Xbox was $200 then damn, people would flock to the thing. They might be losing out on cash but would win this console war.

Not surprised. Have both and PS4 is definitely better than the One. Loved the 360 though so I don't have any bias toward either console.
