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.

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.


No it won't and people don't want "Kinect features" that's why more people bought PS4.Kinect only works some of the time and only has 1 decent game,Kinect Sports which you wouldn't really wanna play for long anyways.What are these "Many more features?" as outside of the US the TV thing doesn't even work and people already have a TV that works as a "TV".I'd rather just play games than wave my arms about and repeat everything 10 times because Kinect doesn't understand basic actions and words and makes you wanna smash it up!!


You clearly don't have an Xbox One. The Kinect works almost flawlessly (at least for me) in everything. I've only had it mess up a couple times due to background noise since I got my Day One edition. Motion gestures are a breeze. I can navigate 99% of the system with my voice or body without laying a finger on the controller. I love the new Kinect, and I'm glad they've included it with the system. The Kinect portion of your argument isn't exactly valid. Ps: Battlefield 4 also uses both body and voice input from Kinect on the Xbox One, as well as other games and more to come; it's not just Kinect Sports. The TV thing I can kinda agree with, but the Xbox can do more in terms of features. For example, on my Xbox One I can listen to music while playing a game. I can Skype my friends or family while watching a movie. In general, I can multitask a lot easier and better. I can use the 300,000 server strong power of Xbox Live to ensure I have no issues with online gaming and communication.


Perfect explanation of why the xbone is more advanced ^^^

Mavericks How is this possible when Microsoft said within the first 24 hours they sold more than 1 million Xbox's?

I live outside the US and my TV feature works fine, please invest some time into researching information before you post.

Although it's selling more now I'd be surprised how many people make the switch in the long run.

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


It does and everyone knows that already,all the game devs know it but the games matter overall and how and if they make use of that extra power.It will probably be years anyway until we see some really amazing quality games as usual,just compare early release PS3 and 360 titles and compare them to recent releass,the difference is like black and white.
