PS4 sold 66% more units than Xbox One last month – Pachter

4.5
PlayStation 4 is significantly outselling Xbox One, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter said in a recent note to investors.

As reported by MCV, Pachter estimates the PS4 sold 1.25 million units in the US during the month of November, while the Xbox One sold 750,000 – putting the PS4 in front by 66% more unit sales.

Before you sound the victory bell, remember the PS4 launched on November 15, giving it 15 says on sale during the month, while the Xbox One launched on November 22, leaving it just eight days.

Pachter’s estimates, which we’ll know the accuracy of once the November NPD report releases, suggest sales of new consoles have come at a cost to existing hardware. The analyst believes the PS3, Wii U and Xbox 360′s hardware sales have fallen 28%, 65% and 44% year-on-year respectively.

Pachter has always been a strong believer in Microsoft but has warned the platform holder must drop the price on the Xbox One or PS4 will “win” this generation.

No wonder Sony sold more PS4's....It's $100 cheaper!

Guys, this is an analyst. It's his opinion with a reasonable guess. The PS4 could be outselling the Xbox One or it could be the other way around. No one knows because Microsoft hasn't released the number of units sold yet

Of course, it's a $100 cheaper, but if MS dropped their prices it would be a even market for the Next-Gen consoles.

Jayden- This has come as a surprise.
Although the PS4 was released 15 days prior to the Xbox One release, I still thought that the Xbox One would be the extremely dominant console.

Apparently not.


I know this isn't reliable at all, but one could say that because PS4 sold 1.25 million in 15 days, they sold approximately 83,400 consoles per day. Xbone sold 750,000 over 8 days, which could be approximately 93,800 consoles per day. Like I said, this isn't a reliable way of thinking, but looking at it this way, Xbone sold more than PS4 in 8 days, and would pass PS4 in sales.

If you would of read the whole article you would of known that the Xbox One had only 8 days to achieve their number of sales compared to Sony's 15 days. If you compare those numbers, both consoles are pretty even.
