Xbox One could outship PS4 3-to-1 this year
Along with topics covering upcoming financial releases such as EA, Take-Two and Activision, Sebastian noted that gutting the DRM policy on the new Microsoft console has done wonders for the upcoming system.
“Despite losing the headline battle at E3, Microsoft’s Xbox One appears to be regaining some momentum, in part due to the used and online policy tweaks,” he wrote. “Importantly, our supply chain checks suggest Microsoft may have the benefit of a 2-3x unit advantage at launch compared to Sony’s PS4.”
The analyst expects both PS4 and Xbox One to have launch shortages and he also noted that Microsoft is “working with channel partners to lessen the gap,” between the consoles’ pricing – there’s a $100 difference between it and PS4.
Sebastian also said he felt Wii U needed a price cut in order to be competitive and “the fate of the platform” rests on Nintendo’s holiday software lineup.

I can see this starting to happen when people are getting a free full game with every single Xbox One. Also Microsoft was/is taking Pre-orders a week or two later then Sony so I think they have the bigger supply of the consoles.

Sheeptacular Wow, i was expecting the sales to be really close, but it seems Microsoft is upping them by a lot
Sony isn't really releasing a ton of info, that's hurting them.

-Cody I kind of think sales will be closer then a 3:1 ratio.
Well I think they aren't using sales as a whole, only sales from a certain area or website.
