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.

I'm getting Xbox One. I think the problem is the Kinect. Get rid of it, then see what happens, even if it's optional.

PawnStars-Skillz I disagree with that
Xbox One will outsell ps4 hands down
Lol
Numbers don't lie, if both consoles didn't have issues keeping up with demand the ps4 was on track to double the X1 sales in their respective launch dates
X1 is getting pretty close, they need to drop the kinect

Dr-PonyfileMentalist That's nice to hear, since I'm getting a PS4 :)
I will be getting both and comparing them both, I think the PS4 will outdo the Xbox One but that is my preference and opinion but it doesn't go far on anything these days.
Yeah, I feel the same way about it

PawnStarsDr-JPawnStarsMentalist I expected this to be honest, I can't wait to get my PS4!
A majority of gamers are expecting this, TTG is mainly Xbox gamers so sometimes it's easy to lose site on what's actually going happening
I'm going to play my ps4 a good amount, but the x1 a lot more
You might change your mind once you get to play ps4 more :p
Hmm maybe, it's just my friends are on Xbox. But let's say I didn't have any friends, I just know live provides a better online service such as dedicated servers finally,300k servers. But idk I want to play both so much!
