PS4 sold 66% more units than Xbox One last month – Pachter

4.5
PlayStation 4 is significantly outselling Xbox One, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter said in a recent note to investors.

As reported by MCV, Pachter estimates the PS4 sold 1.25 million units in the US during the month of November, while the Xbox One sold 750,000 – putting the PS4 in front by 66% more unit sales.

Before you sound the victory bell, remember the PS4 launched on November 15, giving it 15 says on sale during the month, while the Xbox One launched on November 22, leaving it just eight days.

Pachter’s estimates, which we’ll know the accuracy of once the November NPD report releases, suggest sales of new consoles have come at a cost to existing hardware. The analyst believes the PS3, Wii U and Xbox 360′s hardware sales have fallen 28%, 65% and 44% year-on-year respectively.

Pachter has always been a strong believer in Microsoft but has warned the platform holder must drop the price on the Xbox One or PS4 will “win” this generation.

But Sony aren't making anymore so the shops won't re-stock until February.

I hope the performance really does out do the Xbox One though.

Cut It makes sense to buy the cheaper console because you have to buy games, pay for online, etc.
And the specs are almost the same? Correct me if I'm wrong


sorta, but the xbox is more technically advanced meaning it will probably be able to hold it's own better then ps4 in the upcoming years. That being said, currently they are virtually the same machine with a different OS.


No it isn't,the PS4 is more advanced / powerful than XBOX One but it's the games that matter as Nintendo have shown again and again you don't need the best specs to make the best games.


When the xboens esram is fuly utilised, it will actually slightly outpreform the ps4 on base hardware.

Couple that with the many more features, there's only one way to go.

joeisjoe5 If you do the maths then you will realise that Xbox One has an estimate of 93,750 units sold per day, compared to PS4's 83,333 units per day. I am not against either console, they are both amazing and I think people should just agree on that.


where did you pull those numbers from? your buttonhole?

DrRageface How is this even a fair comparison, the ps4 was out an extra week in November. These people really need to wait for actual proof of how much they both sold in the same amount of time. Really need to stop comparing 2 weeks worth to a days or weeks worth of the other.


The XBOX One was out a week before the PS4 in the UK.
