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 ^^^


Great job getting your post count up. Now Eternity you mentioned some cool features about the Xbox One but left out one thing. The PS4 could do the same thing. The PS4 itself can even do voice commands without the need of the camera. Let's not forget the Kinect is based off the PS2 EyeToy (2003) and so is the Wii. The PS2 EyeToy had the ability to be used without a controller and it was a QVGA webcam. That being said when the PS3 Move was released and the camera was upgraded and they added the use of controller. This was done for a reason and I'm sure we can see why when comparing the Kinect (Xbox 360) and the PS3 Move. Basically Sony chose to lose these cool feature Kinect supposedly had first.
Who cares which console outsold which. Who cares that you think that a particular console has better specs or hardware. And most importantly who cares about your opinions. I got an Xbox one, try and tell me why I shouldn't have it, unless if your coming in my room to take it, good luck.


Wow, you're so ignorant you didn't even read the post. Keep the Xbox One we don't want you on the PlayStation community.
Dont worry bro, im not going to your errogant community. I wasnt refering to your post directly, i was quoting the article, and the opinions that you guys hold, that dont make a damn difference.


Before you use the word "errogant". Learn how to spell it first.

This article sums it up.


thats the most recent record ps4 has sold more than 2.1 mill by now because all the stores shipments are going dry. and thats not individual sales thats to all the retailers.
The ps4 also had an extra week bro.......


ps4 had a extra week in the us not in other places remember that the PS4 didn't launch in EU until nov 29 a week after xbox release. so technically xbox had the headstart.


Remember too that the xbox still hasn't been released it most of Europe and won't be to 2014, so technically PS4 still has a head start.

You know how I said people were learning to accept opinions? Yeah, I was wrong.


No, I don't know how you said people are learning to accept opinions, becuse you never did. Idiot


Actually, he did say that, only in reply to a different comment... Just my two cents.

Georgasm Probably because Xbox One isn't as focused on being a games console, unlike the PS4.


I would prefer if Xbox One just focused on gaming instead of bringing in new TV features and such


They are trying to Innovate and branch out i guess. I would rather a console with a primary gaming focus as well though, if i wanted other things such as TV i would buy a PC.

Xbox one might be good, but it's not 100$ better than the PS4. And at the end of the day, people clearly like the PS4 better. So keep you're 500$ cable box and stick with the company who wanted to screw you over when it first came out. They're in it for the money, Sony is in it for the gamer.


Exactly what he said and who says they won't go back on it at some point.$ for $ the PS4 is a better machine as your only paying extra for Kinect,you can still buy a PS4 camera if you want those features and it will still be cheaper.Kinect should work all of the time not "some of the time" for the price they charge,what else would you pay for that "sometimes" works? surely it should say on the box "now comes with Kinect 2 that sometimes works" because it is after all true,who would you buy it then?


Oh good grief. Yes, the PS4 is more advanced, has a better controller and will probably have much better games down the line but you have to give Microsoft something... they have stickers.
