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.

OfficialLeon Lol it being 100$ cheaper has nothing to do with it i had 600$ when i picked up mine i could've bought a Xbox one but i don't want it i personally agree with my friends its trash.


The Xbox ONE is a better machine with more capabilities. So far, the PS4 has been plagued with network issues and suspected compromised accounts. If your friends all got it and that made you want to get it, that's a different story.


I'm getting both soon xbox of quantum break, titan fall, Halo 5. but its not that great i don't watch tv i literally don't even have cable. What capabilities make it the better machine? and don't mention TV because thats pretty much rendered useless. PSN is revamped and the network issues must be only affecting foreigners because US isn't having issues. sony is not a software company so for them to come this far and still end up on top is amazing. PS4 is generally better for gaming thats why i want it because its a gaming console not a entertainment system that i don't want.


You must have been living under a rock for the past 8 or so years. Ever since the Xbox 360 came out, security and connection has always been Microsoft's strong suit. Sony has trailed behind since then, and will continue to do so in the future. While the PS4 is a fantastic console, the Xbox ONE will always win. The ability to have higher resolution output, a more stable network, and have better games puts it over the top. The network issues are happening all over the world. I know this because I have had both since launch day. I use my PS4 for everything, but CoD, Netflix, TV, etc. It is very good, but not the best.


You have completely proved me right. The PS4s resolution will always be better because of the hardware. And if the PS3 didn't suck as bad as it did then the Xbox 360 wouldn't have been the absolute best.

Stability in a network has nothing to do with you thats up to the company and i have never had a Issue with my PS3 online.

Sony hasn't trailed behind what more did the Xbox have than the PS3? party chat? what else? PS3 had blu-ray and HDMI from the start they've always had HD in mind but the big issue was the cell processor.

Like i said in my Previous comment people like you are going into this next generation expecting the same exact results as last gen. Im more than sure sony has learned from there mistakes and has been pushing forward. and since you have both you must not remember the xbox 360 launch that was horrible you couldn't connect online the dashboard was super slow MS didn't start getting better Until 2008. I have had both my PS3 was the launch edition and it lasted all the way until 2011, my xbox 360 only lasted a year so i had to buy a slim.

PS4 is a great console and at the moment its on top of sales and preferred console. If you know Microsoft always start out strong i think last launch they had gears, cod 3 and i forgot the others. all PS3 had was deadspace and a GT. But PS3 ended up with the better games.

Titan fall is a great game but Microsoft is going to milk it. They are going to add Microtransactions and rehash it about 50x I'm sure by the end of this next gen we will see a titan fall 4.

ImgBurn I think the reason they sold more is because of the price of the xbox one, also no one wanted kinect but came with it anyway


I don't mind having the Kinect with it. As soon as people heard about it, they assumed Microsoft would be spying on them.


Lol, "assumed" MS would be spying on them. You need to think with your dip stick kid, the world is a lot more corrupt than you think. Why wouldn't they want the Kinect spying on people?


Why do you have anything to hide? Are you a terrorist or something?
I don't mind the Kinect because I have nothing to hide from them. Sure the world is corrupt but that has nothing to do with Kinect. They can already access every other camera you have (Phone, Laptop). I would rather have them spying through Kinect than wire tapping phone calls

I love how this article is about the PS4 and Xbox one, and people are talking about the PC being this best thing ever. Also people don't realize that everyone can't afford to have a really nice computer to play as good as graphics as the PlayStation and Xbox have.

******. The thousand cameras in your home town do that for you. Why would Microsoft want to trucking watch you play games?

in terms of watching your activity, everyone does this, every program. Its in most T&C's. Don't think beloved Sony don't do this too.

Not saying it's true, but one of the most appealing things about the PS4 is how they don't shove a camera down your throat. I had one for my 360 and sure it was kind of cool for the first week but still became an over-price dust collector. I've used the new kinect and sure it's better but it's still a kinect.

Another thing that this article didn't mention is the fact that the PS4 didn't launch for anyone beside N. America until a week after the Xbone. It still hasn't even launched in Japan yet....
