Xbox One is expected to outsell PlayStation 4 this holiday season

Xbox One is expected to outsell PlayStation 4 this holiday season, at least according to UK chain John Lewis’ head tech buyer Jonathan Marsh.

Speaking with Trusted Reviews, Marsh said Xbox One has the edge due to its game line-up and Xbox Live service.

“We are expecting more interest in the Xbox One,” Marsh said. “We are stocking both the PS4 and the Xbox One but if we were to back one, we are thinking that Xbox One will appeal a bit more to our customers in terms of the experience it creates.”

Marsh said he feel the console will appeal more to the chain’s consumer base, and is also basing his opinion on what the firm has “experienced in the past” with Microsoft consoles.

ZENU96 I really expected the PS4 to outsell the xbox since it's $100 cheaper, but i guess it's because xbox has more exclusives.


We still have to wait and see, this guy if far from credible

raefon and how long is a piece of string. I love their speculation and how its based on previous sales.

Well new kettle of fish, Sony have actually improved their faults and Microsoft so far have made slip ups all over the place letting the competition back in.

Still it will be interesting to see how it pans out and obviously with a 50/50 chance half of the people will be saying I told you so.


Microsoft has been very open with what they want to do to their console. As far as I remember, all Sony has done was say the opposite of what Microsoft is. To me, the PS4 is just one big upgrade for a new software.

Immerse Well, best of luck to both Microsoft and Sony on their sales.

Can't wait until this whole "This console is better" business ends.


Sorry, but that will never happen. Just pull up a chair, grab some popcorn and watch the show.
