Xbox One is expected to outsell PlayStation 4 this holiday season

4.8
Xbox One is expected to outsell PlayStation 4 this holiday season, at least according to UK chain John Lewis’ head tech buyer Jonathan Marsh.

Speaking with Trusted Reviews, Marsh said Xbox One has the edge due to its game line-up and Xbox Live service.

“We are expecting more interest in the Xbox One,” Marsh said. “We are stocking both the PS4 and the Xbox One but if we were to back one, we are thinking that Xbox One will appeal a bit more to our customers in terms of the experience it creates.”

Marsh said he feel the console will appeal more to the chain’s consumer base, and is also basing his opinion on what the firm has “experienced in the past” with Microsoft consoles.

PawnStars That's debatable, the only two exclusives they've had that were real game changers imo were run into the ground (Halo and Gears) I've had xbox live for 9 years so you are not going to tell me anything I don't already know when it comes to that

Who's to say what exclusives will be better for the next-gen but I am more excited for the the exclusive content that Sony is getting (including the contract they signed with Bungie)
Ryse: Son of Rome, Quantum Break, Halo, Forza Motorsport 5, Dead Rising 3, Quantum Break, Titanfall & Project Spark.

You were saying?

Georgasm Xbox has always been the better product imo.


I think the Xbox provides better online services


Agreed, Live has to be one of the best online service's, wipes the floor with PSN.


Social-wise that is true , game-wise it's the exact opposite

If you look at the amount of games ps+ has given away compared to the 360 it's a joke


Keep in mind this is only my opinion, if I was after free games, I'd have definitely bought a PlayStation.


I'm not trying to hate and I was also stating my opinion, I went back to PS for The Last of Us and do not regret it one bit

The free games were just a perk

Oasis Tbh, I don't recommend buying anything from JL, it's overpriced.

Also...how funny would it be if this holiday season the big seller isn't either console but instead the Nintendo 2DS! :D What a comeback that would be.


They just come out of nowhere with that and pokemon hahaha


I'm already thinking of trading in my 3DS for a 2DS, and Pokemon of course.


I don't know the difference between the two, but that sounds like a downgrade

Who cares about giveaways. Exclusives are what matter and to be fair Xbox walks all over the Playstation with them...

How can someone call the xbone a hunk of crap when you haven't even tried it out yet? You guys love your 360's which is terrible in comparison the the x1.. Gah some people are so retarded.. I'm about to have a aneurysm of stupidity.

There is no way Xbox1 will outsell PS4. That guy probably got payed by MS to say that.
Another pointless post...

you also have to realize the philosophy behind sony giving away all those games. they are truly just trying to buy ppl into getting their ps4. they realized a vast majority of ppl preferred xbox or playstation so they had to do something. and an easy way is to give stuff away. this way ppl believe that they will continue this on ps4. but obviously that wont happen.


Seeing as they have been doing it for well over a year, it's hardly a last minute ploy to try to get people to buy the ps4...

Obviously you haven't looked at any polls or articles outside TTG

There are many more, both will be good consoles but for you to honestly think that they are doing this to because they "realized a vast majority of ppl preferred xbox or playstation" you are beyond delusional. You may want to get out from under that rock bud and actually see what's going on....
