PS4 to outsell Xbox One at launch, predicts Pachter
When asked how many units the PS4 and Xbox One will sell in their first two weeks of availability, Pachter feels that the PS4 will outsell the Xbox One, though both will sell whatever they ship.
“They are going to sell as many units as they ship, and they are probably going to each ship more than a million,” said Pachter.
With Sony confirming they have taken over 1 million pre-orders for the PS4, Pachter shared that Jack Tretton, President and CEO of SCEA, has told him that Sony will have “a lot more” available.
“Sony’s has already announced the PS4 has a million pre-orders, so the answer for Sony is a million the first day. All the pre-orders are going to get filled. I just went on Amazon and you can’t pre-order an Xbox One for same-day launch – they guarantee it by Dec. 31, so they are sold out of their pre-order quantities.
I was surprised Sony took a million pre-orders and I talked to Jack Tretton about this and he said ‘We’re going to have a lot more units behind that at launch.’” Pachter expressed.
As for the Xbox One, Pachter notes that the system is no longer available for pre-order on Amazon for launch day delivery, however, they do expect to fulfill orders by Dec. 31. In terms of sales during the opening two weeks, Pachter predicts the Xbox One will sell around 1 million units.
“I guess the first couple of weeks 1.5 million [PS4] and Xbox One probably 1 million, so 2.5 million combined, which is a lot. That’s what I think you are going to see,” Pachter concluded.

That kinda changed up a bit. I remember the PS4 leading in pre-orders on Amazon and then the Xbox One took over on the pre-orders and now this. Either way it doesn't bother me which console outsells the other one, I'm there to get the console not fight over the consoles.

I really can't believe Sony Fanboys still think they are getting a positive out of having a slightly more powerfull console. Are you people honestly retarded? The games made for these consoles are build tandem with all of the same graphical goodness, hence they release on the same day. I don't understand why you think you will receive a better game for the same price, honestly you people are that dumb.
Ohh and did the whole PSN Fanboy crowd forget about the cloud computing part of this whole argument. Yes, XBL will have much better networking capabilities than PS4 by a ton and we will have Dedicated servers on 'EVERY GAME' if the developers agree to have them implemented.

OnNzaB52aimiami12 To the ignorant fans that have been commenting months about the xbox one selling more... here you go.
Ill eventually get an xbox one when halo comes out but the ps4 is more powerful and they arent putting the services such has netflix behind a pay-wall. Not to mention itll have party chat also
Are you kidding me? this has to be a joke honestly, all i saw was the ps4 fanboys everywhere :L i would love to know where you were hanging out.
OT: thats really odd because over here (AUS) the PS4 won't ship till jan next year lol but you can still get xbox ones on launch :o it seems xbox might have more consoles shipped
Lol listen to what you just said... "the PS4 won't ship till jan" "you can still get xbox ones on launch"
That means PS4 out sold all its pre orders... and xbox one still has them. lol you just made your self look like an A$$
HAHAHA you sir a bloody stupid wow that's funny, just because the xbox hasn't sold out doesn't mean its not as popular as the PS4 you moron. Sony could only have 2 factories making the PS4 while microsoft could have 8 factories meaning MORE XBOX ONES MADE so it would be hard to sell out. DERP

i this is kind of a "noshit" point. ever since the drm policies were announced a lot of people saw that as the "break" point of them getting the xbox one, even though the policies were reversed.

Im still undecided leaning towards ps4 since micrsoft are such assholes that ban you but im liking the sound of dedicated servers on the one....however there no guarantee that future cods will have dedicated servers either....
