The amount of money spent on Xbox hardware, software and accessories reached $1.39 billion in December in the U.S.

VPN There's not a lot of hype anymore about getting the Xbone.

PawnStarsplatyuiAustraliansPens The Xbox one will catch it up, but this is nothing compared to ps4
Never to the PS4, unless there is a miraculous turn of events and it does, but I doubt it.
The only reason the PS4 is has sold more consoles World wide is because it is available in way more countries but this statistic shows that the U.S. still has more people buying the xbox One despite the price difference which is sad to say for PS4 which is $100 less.
Or because you could find them literally everywhere, Most people I know who bought the Xbone only bought it because they couldn't find a PS4 and sold it after they got their PS4's...
Why wouldn't your friends just wait lol?
