Xbox One could outship PS4 3-to-1 this year

4.4
Robert W. Baird and company analyst Colin Sebastian has stated in his latest investor’s note that Xbox One seems to be riding the momentum train at retail.

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.

TeamArianaGrande Xbox Will Always Be Better Than Playstation In My Opinion. I Like The Xbox One A Lot Better Than The PS4.


That's not an opinion whatsoever, you can't have an opinion that voids the possibility of something happening, when it's entirely unpredictable, all fanboys are stupid, it's that simple. If I buy a next generation console I know that it will be the Xbox One, because I have a preference towards the way that the online system works, but I know for a fact that the PlayStation 4 is still superior.


"Xbox will always be better than PlayStation" is an opinion. You saying PlayStation 4 is superior is also an opinion. And, in my opinion, Xbox One, and Xbox in general, will always be more superior to PlayStation 4, and PlayStation in general.


No it's not an opinion, it's a FACT. The value for money is much better, because if you were to buy the PlayStation Eye or whatever seperately it would still be cheaper than the Xbox One, and barely anybody wants to pay extra for the Kinect sensor, the specifications and execution are both slightly superior as always on Sony's part, so it's better in that respect too. The preference in terms of the operating system and the online service is opinion though, because both offer similar services that have their own advantages and disadvantages.


its not a fact, it depends what type of gamer you are, if your a casual gamer the ps4 would be better for the price, if your a hardcore gamer the xbox would be better because of the exclusives they get with cross platform games over the playstation

stop blabbering your OPINION around, let people decide for thereself

brendan64shark The xbox will always beat the Playstation until the playstation invents new tech and stops using computer parts.lol


You are aware that the specification in PC's are much more reliable and effective than consoles, right? Neither of them use components from PC's anyway, they're adapted for consoles, just as a laptop is.

Well then I think you'll be embarrased to see that the PS2 out sold the original Xbox, the PS3 outsold the Xbox 360. Stop getting Microsofts shit out your arse and look at some real facts. The Xbox One and PS4 will no doubt both be very good consoles, but seriously, grow up and look at it like it is. I liked both PS4 and xbox 360, you can't go around saying the PS4 needs to invent new tech and stop using xcomputer parts, because a gaming console is essentially a PC built solely for gaming you silly idiot. Consoles aspire to be PC's to an extenet (obviously) and so of course they will use computer parts you idiot, jsut like a space shuttle will use computer parts (even though it has nothing to do with gaming, derp). Computer parts and gaming console parts are one.

i was joking...
I doubt the xbox is going to lead sales let alone a 3 to 1 ratio.


Then you're just a butt-hurt fanboy.


There is no way the Xbox is going to outsell the PS4 3:1. If you think that then you are ridiculously stupid and this is coming from someone who is not buying a PS4.


either way he is trying to say that the xbox one will outsell PS4, **** the ratio i doubt that is true but i do think that xbox will outsell PS4

james938 Sony release date is just holiday 2013 maybe the release will be after xbox so less will obviously get shipped.Plus Sony have less money
Doesn't mean outsell


Sony have something like 5 Billion pounds in their reserve as of 2012. I don't think money comes into it. Microsoft probably have a lot more, but it doesn't mean they can't afford it.

There is still quite a while for this to change, I'm sure Sony could easily ramp up their production but then again so could Microsoft.
