They should drop the current 360 model and have a disc less version with 500gb for a cheap price, kind of like the Arcade but no disc drive and massive hdd. I think it'd still sell as a entry level console for newcomers.

That is an insane amount of figures. It's a new console though, after almost 10 years I kind of expected this.

That's pretty good, but PS4 is selling twice as many as Xbone just in the US, so even better for Sony and nice if your a PS4 owner too.

Sony leads in worldwide sales due to selling their console in much more markets. Microsoft dominates the US Market with its consoles. Just like how Sony dominate Asia with its game consoles.


Except they are not dominating the US this time around. The sales are nearly equal in the US. Also the January sales show the PS4 almost double the amount of consoles sold world wide.

The only reason there big over seas is be cause Xbox don't sell there Xbox sells in 13 territory's PS4 sells in 50 a big difference if you ask me.
