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.

UG_Unknown I might get the PS4 I have never liked PS but I must have to


Why would you have to. The only reason I see is it being cheaper.

Wow, i was expecting the sales to be really close, but it seems Microsoft is upping them by a lot

I think more people will buy the PS4 than they did PS3, but Xbox one will probably be brought more.

Yellowishpanda Why the f**k can't they just make one console from both Sony and Microsoft and stop ***** about which one is better.


Because there would be no competition which would mean they would have no reason to improve and could jack up the prices. Basic economics. Having multiple consoles is a good thing for thew consumer.

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.


Most people are sticking with console they started with which isn't surprising.

Corncake It really sucks that there are two systems and not all games are available on both systems. If everyone's buying the Xbox One though I guess that means most games that are console-specific will switch to Xbox One. I wish they would cut the price down for multiplayer, that was the greatest thing about the PS3


That's going to happen a lot next gen.
