Xbox One could outship PS4 3-to-1 this year

4.4
Robert W. Baird and company analyst Colin Sebastian has stated in his latest investor’s note that Xbox One seems to be riding the momentum train at retail.

Along with topics covering upcoming financial releases such as EA, Take-Two and Activision, Sebastian noted that gutting the DRM policy on the new Microsoft console has done wonders for the upcoming system.

“Despite losing the headline battle at E3, Microsoft’s Xbox One appears to be regaining some momentum, in part due to the used and online policy tweaks,” he wrote. “Importantly, our supply chain checks suggest Microsoft may have the benefit of a 2-3x unit advantage at launch compared to Sony’s PS4.”

The analyst expects both PS4 and Xbox One to have launch shortages and he also noted that Microsoft is “working with channel partners to lessen the gap,” between the consoles’ pricing – there’s a $100 difference between it and PS4.

Sebastian also said he felt Wii U needed a price cut in order to be competitive and “the fate of the platform” rests on Nintendo’s holiday software lineup.

Xbox One is Xbox One, PS4 is PS4. No need to fight which one is better, there will always be haters and lovers of each console. Everyone has their own opinion.

That's not an opinion whatsoever, you can't have an opinion that voids the possibility of something happening, when it's entirely unpredictable, all fanboys are stupid, it's that simple. If I buy a next generation console I know that it will be the Xbox One, because I have a preference towards the way that the online system works, but I know for a fact that the PlayStation 4 is still superior.

It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to see that in terms of the console, the PlayStation 4 is better, the value is the obvious one, if you want to be mature about it just buy the console that you want and enjoy it, stop avoiding the obvious.

ooh I'll be waiting a while after release before buying either of them. I'm leaning much more toward the Xbox One at the moment though. Can't wait to see how it plays out.


Same honestly, PlayStation 4 is slightly superior but Xbox One already has a slight advantage to me because it has my account and I'm used to it.
