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.

Disastress idk the xbox one "could" outship ps4
3-1 ratio? no way
but could. not saying that xbox one is better, im going for ps4 so no hate.


I think they're saying that Microsoft is making 3 Xbox One's to every 1 PS4. Seeing as Microsoft hasn't almost bankrupted themselves *cough* Sony *cough*


Yeah, it's obviously saying "outship", not "outsell" so read the article properly or are you ppl just dumb?

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.


YOU RETARDS. THIS IS ABOUT SHIPPING RATIOS. Sony can't afford to make enough PS4's to go around, pure and simple.

Also, the Xbox One wil probably lead in pre orderes before launch and sell more at launch.=, if you can't see that you're obviously not very business minded.


If you read my past comments I was trying to explain that to them but shipping and selling mean the same thing to these people apparently.

I highly doubt the Xbox One is going to have that much of a lead on sales, sales could go either way and neither console is going to triple the sales of the other.
