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.

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.

The only reason that the PS4 sold more is because of the price difference and the fact that everyone decided to hope on the band wagon and try to ass bang the one in every way they could possibly find. I have seen people go as far to say that the xbox one has too many features... Like what the hell people gave the xbox one such a bad rep so early on in the life of the system. If the pricks that hated on the xbox one so hard just would have kept their oppinion to themselves then the xbox one would have sold a lot better. However I do bet that the xbox one will last a lot longer than the PS4 hands down.

Just because it is cheaper :/

This does not surprise me since they are cheaper.

Poor people buy the ps4, and people with money buy the Xbox one. Then there is me, I bought 3 ps4's and 4 Xbox one's. I made over $5000

Well. Sony coming back for it. Last year Xbox sold the most for the slim.

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.


Wtf are you on about . 360 had better specsa nd higher quality. PS4 is has better specs but has more framerate drops than the one.
