Xbox One is expected to outsell PlayStation 4 this holiday season

4.8
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.

Yeah, Xbox's Online Service is far better than anything Playstation can produce without them copying..
Achievements > Trophies
Xbox Profile Screen > PS's
Dashboard > PS's Home Screen
Also you can change your Gamertag on Xbox, I hate starting new profiles if I join a clan and what not.

Georgasm Xbox has always been the better product imo.


I think the Xbox provides better online services


Agreed, Live has to be one of the best online service's, wipes the floor with PSN.

LMFAO any proof? or are you just talking out your ass?

MS or in fact the NSA cannot legally record you without your consent, its a breach of your human rights & they have to clearly state if you want to opt in.

So if your so paranoid, read through there TOS, when its available. To see if by agreeing to it & using this console, you agree that MS can view you & record your movements.

(more than likely the Sony fanboys keep this crap going, Toys"R"us had to take a video down of the Xbone on there youtube channel due to racist & foul mouthed Sony fans)

also I live outside the USA, so NSA has no jurisdiction anywhere outside of that country.

Potion Not really a surprise considering how many people own Xbox 360s compared to PS3


Actually the PS3 outsold the 360, 360 is better imo though


That's how it used to be, as of right now 360 has more sales(FTW!!)


It's funny how you mention that yet Wii still holds over 360 and PS3 in unit numbers sold. That said though, the 360 did outsell the PS3 but barely (less than a mil units).
OT: Kids will ask for the console they couldn't get during November. Parents will acknowledge that and buy the console of choice for their child. Parents will see the xbox as a multi-functioning box with little interest in investigating the uproars of backlash it's received the past half year. Anyone that does a little research will figure to not trust a company that originally promotes an all seeing and scanning camera while partnering with the NSA.


Your stupidity makes me want to kill myself.

Oasis Tbh, I don't recommend buying anything from JL, it's overpriced.

Also...how funny would it be if this holiday season the big seller isn't either console but instead the Nintendo 2DS! :D What a comeback that would be.


They just come out of nowhere with that and pokemon hahaha


I'm already thinking of trading in my 3DS for a 2DS, and Pokemon of course.

zor0ark I honestly don't see why there's a huge war raged on in-between the two machines. It all comes down to taste and exclusive games. Nonetheless, they're both practically the same console, but with a repackaged name. Considering the specs of both next gen consoles bear almost the same hardware.


No one takes words from a bro-ny stfu

MoneyFlow Yeah, they will out sell by about 5 consoles. New gen consoles are going to blow. Thats my opinion everyone...JUST AN OPINION...


It's kind of a strong opinion to have on consoles you haven't even played


You're right, I have not played the consoles. I have read the specs and details about them and in my own form of opinion I don't think they will be that good. Get off my D***

That's not an opinion, that's just your poor observation of misinformed information.

They are both good new consoles and it will be very close to see which is sold more.
