The first Christmas battle between PS4 and Xbox One already seems to have swung wildly in Sony’s favour, with year-end sales for the PS4 topping 4.2 million versus 3 million for the Xbox One.
Microsoft states that “over 3 million Xbox One consoles were sold to consumers in 13 countries before the end of 2013,” whilst Sony says it achieved 4.2 million “actual sales” of the PS4 in “over 30” countries by the 28th of December.
With the PS4 due in Japan soon whilst the Xbox One’s Japanese launch is still “some time in 2014,” a further substantial fillip in Sony favour also seems likely.
Still playing with these cans poor?
Did the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 800xl, Atari 65xe, Atari 128, Nintendo, Sega Genesis 16, nintendo 64, IBM PC 25DX up to today with the Xbox360, Playstation 2 from Japan, I can tell you, Consoles suck. the little games only last 3 days to 1 1/2 months on the old RPG versions. That online stuff is much better with a MMO and a computer like the I7 with Sata3 built in. I understand those with little apartments and hard to secure areas not wanting a expensive old pc box but hay, I can play every game these game companys have till i die with the Personal Desktop Computer I custom built. No way with those.
Sony has Japan as extra sale boost while Microsoft got 50% of Europe where they didnt released yet to boost there sales (although many just went for a PS4 because of that fact).
I just hope the PC ports will be decent and buy a Wii-U
3 million consoles sold oh no , what a complete failure. lol are you brand slaves serious.
Console gaming is dead in Japan. Don’t expect more than a few 100k units to sell. Meanwhile, xBOX sales in the West will continue to surge. If it’s that close when XBONE costs $100 more, imagine how much it will beat PS4 over time.
