[Lucreto]

That site is the Rasmussen of the gaming world. Always favouring Xbox when all signs point the opposite.

Saying that Microsoft strategy to focus on the main markets has kept the supply chain moving and the impatient people who can't find a PS4 will get an Xbox instead. Sony is stretching supply thin and another launch in two weeks.

[Kribwalker]

Take your blinders off. Microsoft announced 80million xboxes sold before sony had 80million ps3s sold and yet ps3 was still ahead in sales on that site in oct. As well even after Microsoft had announced over 3 million Xbox ones sold, that site kept them at 2.7 million for weeks. If anything, that guy that runs that site is pro sony. Smarten up son and look back at some of the history on there

[torchic]

okay so if I make an announcement today that I bought a car, and yesterday you announced that you bought a car does that mean automatically mean you bought a car before me? has it ever occurred to you that people can say what they want to say, whenever they please?

PS3 sailed past X360 a long time before the 80mn announcements, can't believe people are STILL trying to argue that X360 is ahead of PS3 that's a real shame man :(

[Kribwalker]

http://www.vgchartz.com/wee...
2 full months after the press release of xbox 360 hitting 80mil and it's still lessthen that on vgchartz.

And no matter who has more units sold, Nintendo and Microsoft won the last generation. PS3 has sold 54% as many units as ps2 and Nintendo and Microsoft grew their market share exponentially compared to the previous generation. There will never be another generation like the ps2 generation.

[NatureOfLogic]

Xbox One is losing USA and global sales now. Not looking good for MS. At this rate, PS4 will have total dominance over the market by the end of the year. Congrates to Sony for taking USA back. As for Xbox One, there's a possibility that MS's new CEO may get rid of Xbox. Tough times ahead for the Xbox camp. Maybe Titanfall can save the day.....We'll see.

[hollabox]

Oh my God this site must be populated by over sensitive teenagers who argue over 150,000 units or so hardware wise, but yet software lags behind by 600,000 units. So if XB1 sells 1 unit more next week it will be the same garbage, well we sold 1 more units than the PS4 ha! The next week PS4 sells 2 units more and the XB1 is not looking good, its dead in the water. Next argument, I can pick up XB1 anytime I want, oh yeah, I have to wait two weeks before my PS4 is delivered because demand is so high, ha!

Both systems are doing great rather its hardware or software. Both systems will be around for the next 6 years or so unless one company goes bankrupt. So enjoy your damn systems content, game on gamers and stop with this junior high behavior it makes gamers look bad.

[Boody-Bandit]

I just did a quick search online in the U.S. for both the X1 and PS4.

Standard system (not bundled)
Amazon - X1 in stock / PS4 none
Walmart - X1 in stock / PS4 none
Best Buy - X1 in stock / PS4 none
Gamestop - X1 in stock / PS4 none
ToysRus - X1 in stock / PS4 none

Are we seeing a pattern here?

Sony still cant even come close to keeping up with the supply and they are still ahead in America. What do you think will happen when Sony does meet that supply? Seriously peeps, move along. There is nothing to see here.

Right now Sony is nearly 2 million ahead worldwide. Sony launches in Japan in a week. A country that MS can't give away X1 consoles and again Sony can't keep up with the supply in practically any region they have released the PS4. The more and more Sony manufactures PS4's, the more and more that gap will widen.

I'm just stating the obvious.

[scott182]

good to see the ps4 still doing great!

[Mr-Dude]

Well, I don;t know about that little Xbox boy faking numbers. But I do know that US is XB1 and the rest of the world is pretty much PS4...

[avengers1978]

PS4 is outselling XB1 in the United States as well.

[SmielmaN]

I believe Sony is outselling MS despite being sold out for a number of weeks in NA. That's crazy and prob why MS is trying numerous tactics to take back home field advantage. Next stop is price drop but dropping the price early in a consoles life cycle is a sign of desperation, according to MS when PS3 dropped its price first last gen.

[morganfell]

Supply is beginning to catch up with demand in the US. the PS4 Japan launch is only a week and a half away.

[Mr-Dude]

Well stupid me then

[thorstein]

Global Hardware by Platform
Platform Weekly (change) Total
PS4 146,409 (-8%) 4,889,669
3DS 134,129 (-11%) 42,689,646
XOne 76,995 (-12%) 3,359,572
PS3 67,526 (-9%) 81,040,420
WiiU 42,318 (-11%) 5,628,398

[360ICE]

I find that everytime there's an VGchartz post, someone has to be explained how VGchartz actually works. They extrapolate sales numbers from certain stores. They don't care who wins, as if anyone except fanboys do, and if Sony is stretching supply thin, then yes, that will impact these numbers to MS's favour.

Also, these are U.S. numbers. Still Xbox's best market, so that PS4 is leading here is quite impressive. Take that into consideration.

[mediate-this]

Na has always been sony market, why do people say other wise, micro took the chunk out of sonys market bot the other way around.

Global companies sell globally, just cause sony started in japan dont mean they arent stationed else where.

[MysticStrummer]

"Na has always been sony market, why do people say other wise"

Because 360 outsold PS3 by quite a bit in NA. MS took that market last gen, and now Sony appears to be taking it back.

[360ICE]

@mediate-this
I don't know, why do you write that as a reply to me? I said that it was Xbox's best market, not that it was Xbox's market.

Also, as MysticStrummer says, Xbox 360 did in fact sell better than PS3 in NA.

[SilentNegotiator]

"That site is the Rasmussen of the gaming world. Always favouring Xbox when all signs point the opposite"

WTF are you talking about? They estimated that PS4 outsold the Xbox by 25,000 that week and this is just the US.

[morganfell]

I think we will find the gap is larger than 25K. PS4s are beginning to ship in quantity to the US.

[CrowbaitBob]

N4G community:
If someone says that even a single Microsoft console has sold, ever, in the history of history (not merely shipped), they must be a Microsoft shill.

[SilentNegotiator]

@Morganfell

We're talking about a single week...in January...in one region...which is one of the only regions that tend to prefer Xbox over PS.

I doubt 25K is that far off.

[thorstein]

What is even more interesting, is that the PS3 nearly sold as much as the X1... let that sink in for a moment.

The PS4 outsold the X1 worldwide 2:1. The PS3 was outsold by the X1 by 9000 units world wide. World Wide. That doesn't look good for X1.

[ITPython]

These sales numbers say a few obvious things:

1. It shows how many PS4's Sony can make (since they sell instantly when in stock)

2. It shows that the XB1 is still behind despite having plenty of stock at every store across the US while those same stores carry no PS4 stock (essentially no competition for the XB1).

So while the overall sales may look close for the US, they are nowhere close to what the demand calls for. If both systems had an infinite amount available, I think we all know the PS4 would easily have over 10 million sales at this point while the XB1 would be struggling to get past 1 million (since a large part of their sales is because impatient people can't find a PS4).

[GraveLord]

PS4 is dominating US now that supply is healthier.

[Beastforlifenoob]

Yep my PS4 shipment finally arrived last Saturday :)

Loving it assassins creed 4 + outlast+ 1 other game i will choose (probs infamous ma favourite series)

[SmielmaN]

AC4 was amazing eh? Resogun is awesome too. Try KZ, it's better than ppl give it credit for. I'm currently playing tomb raider, injustice, outlast on PS4 and trying to plow through DMC on PS3 so I can get back to all the small downlodable titles in my queue

[Gamer1982]

Yep supply dropped for a few weeks while they readed the supply for the Japan launch (less than 2 weeks away). Yeah That's a good point.. Sonys already dominating worldwide over Xbone WITHOUT Japan one of its biggest markets (sold 10 million ps3s there so far compared to Xbox 360 1.7million). Imagine how far they are gonna pull ahead once its released in Japan? Should MS be worried? Thats not for me to decide as theres a lot of time left in this race but with Sony finally taking back the US and UK the only territories MS had its not looking great for MS.

[AnteCash]

PS4 74,087 (+25%)
XOne 54,730 (+10%)

its clear who is selling most........

[Eonjay]

I have a strange feeling that next week may be even worse. On Friday GameStop had PS4 in stock all around me. Today I have to go out of the state to find one. I could only locat 7 stores in a 100 mile radius that has any left... and they are all low stock.

Maybe its a tax season boost or maybe Sony is BS about having stock under control... but the thing is still selling out everywhere:

Compare This:
http://www.gamestop.com/Bro...

To This:
http://www.gamestop.com/bro...

By the way, the Xbox One got a boost from the layaway offer.

[jacksjus]

Just as long as they don't count those layaway units until after they are paid off. Lol!

[Eonjay]

@jacksjus

I don't think they will. Because how would they properly adjust NPD numbers if someone doesn't pay or cancels their layaway. It much easier to account for paid off units. In the short term it will decrease availability because the have to old systems for people decreasing their stock. What this does allow them to do is to purchase more units from Microsoft to replenish their "available" supply.

[FITgamer]

Funny i clicked your link and it showed my area (Phoenix)no PS4 within 100 mile radius. All 57 stores had Xbox Ones available.

[Christopher]

Okay, those are some sobering numbers when I put in my zip code. I haven't been paying too much attention to sales. I know PS4's primary concern is stock. But, I didn't know that the XBO had such a high surplus of stock in comparison. I've considered tons of the reports to be mostly fanboy stuff.

PS4 near me: 2 stores w/low stock 30+ miles away
https://www.diigo.com/item/...

XBO near me: 167 stores w/i 100 miles with them
https://www.diigo.com/item/...

[Gamer1982]

Until its launched in Japan stock won't be plentiful.. They are still holding back around probably 2 million consoles for the Asia launch..

[SmielmaN]

My good friend is asst mgr at my Eb games and she sent me a pic of about 15 xbones she had and the one ps4 left in stock. Sony must be loving the start to this gen.

[aceitman]

2 weeks till japan launch boom baby.

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

does it matter no
this isn't a popularity or sale race

[Stedron]

It was last gen so why not this gen?

[G20WLY]

Well, yes, it matters because this is an article about sales. :/

Come on fella, cheer up, it's early days! ;)

[amiga-man]

Of course it matters, if the PS4 has the larger sales then it will also have more leverage with developers who will be more keen to develop their games for it while also taking advantage of it's extra power.

This early and things are looking good for Sony and the PS4

[chrisarsenalsavart]

considering the x1 is not stretch over 53 countries like AXIOS like to remind us, then logically x1 should have plenty more stock available in N.A and kill the ps4 in NA.
Am I missing something or could you call major Nelson
To send you another PR bull answer?

[Prime157]

Thank you. They always seem to forget that ms should theoretically be selling A LOT more in na based off of the 8 country release.

[thorstein]

Holy crap! That means the Xbone moved only 22,000 outside the US.

Global sales:
PS4 146,409 (-8%)
XOne 76,995 (-12%)
PS3 67,526 (-9%)

And yes, the PS3 sold only 9000 units short of global X1 sales. This does not bode well for Xbox.

[SoulSercher620]

PS4 tops in hardware sales and software sales and not a single Xbox One game in the top 5.

PS domination continues.

[Gamer1982]

Indeed when PS4 was dominating hardware early on MS came out and claimed it was the better console as more games were sold on it however that's changed now too..

[WeAreLegion]

GameStop has layaway for the Xbox One. They're advertising it. I think it might help the XBO. Is that not weird to anyone else? Is Microsoft paying for that?

[TristanPR77]

I believe they are paying for that. I have seen the same advertising on my local game stop. Employees even wearing x1 accessories.

Ironic that Sony don't make any of that stuff and still is the most hot item and preferred in general by customers.

[Prime157]

Yeah, both consoles (and game publishers too) will pay gamestop high quantities of money to place even a poster somewhere (like the first poster you when walk the door is usually the most). I worked at a store for 2.5 years.

So, I wouldn't doubt that ms paid them to send out that email and do the layaway (which isn't hard on computer side, and they it during the holiday too).

This happens in the grocery / convenient stores too. for example, placing things at eye level. Especially junk food, soda and beer companies.

[deadfrag]

Microsoft really needs to lower the price,people are not stupid $100+,for a system that is underpower against the PS4 is leaving its mark and will get even wider the gap.Xboxone are on the shop shelfs, Ps4 is in lack of supply and still is overselling it.

[jessupj]

I'm still genuinely baffled, absolutely baffled by the millions of xbones sold. It's a more expensive, underpowered console made by a company that shows blatant, clear signs they have no passion for the industry and have prematurely dropped exclusive core support for it's last 2 consoles.

I know there's legitimate reasons to buy an xbone over a PS4, but I would imagine that wouldn't apple to most people.

Maybe most people just don't do their research. That's the only way I can explain it.

Does anyone else have any other theories?

[MannGamer]

Nearly 60% of Xbox One Sales are from the US.
Believe me in the US advertisement works bigtime.
If you listen to US advertisement they will make you believe you can afford and $2000 monthly mortgage with a $1600 monthly payment.
MS is investing a lot in the US to commercialize the Xbox One, I see Xbox commercials more than PS.

[Ra3030]

IMO it's a fanboy thing. Microsoft announced at the end of Dec. 13 that they had sold since launch 3.2 million and as it turns out the 3.2 million was units shipped not sold. Now the new numbers come out and it turns out Microsoft has sold just over 3.2 million 3.3 and who knows maybe that's a shipped number as we'll idk. I think at launch all the die hard fanboys went and purchased their X1 in the first couple weeks but since they things have been a little slow when and only when you compare with sells to the PS4. Sometimes it does seem like Microsoft has no clue as to what their doing. The E3 embarrassment then the panic and reverse policy on everything move to get pre orders. Now the lay-a-way which I don't think is a bad move cause it should be every stores policy. The non stop hype of Titanfall which is paid for hype which is a joke. To me it seems every thing they do cries panic. But maybe I'm wrong all of this as I said at the start is my opinion really I don't care the 360 was the last console I'll buy from Microsoft I have lost all trust for them and my issues with them go back to the original Xbox. I gave them more than a chance and money with the 360 but now I got nothing for them I went with the PS4 and I'm happy, happy I did.

[Prime157]

As someone who worked at gamestop;

Gamerscore is a reason.

Friends buying it is another (especially for the other reasons).

Certain exclusives.

And mostly, brand loyalty happens too.

All of this can pertain to Sony too.

[CrowbaitBob]

My theory would be that people have a tendancy to purchase the console that offers the games they personally want to play.

Millions of gamers enjoy Microsoft franchises like Halo and Gears along with every other multi-plat and several other upcoming exclusives that will be available on Xbox One. If the Xbox One were not demonstrably more powerful than the Xbox 360 I'd have second thoughts about purchasing one, but that's simply not the case.

I've always preferred Xbox specific franchises in general, eventually purchasing Sony's alternative for a nice library of undeniable gems.

This generation is so much sweeter for me because my primary console of choice is plenty capable for my needs, while I'll be able to play The Order, the next God of War, Uncharted and (hopefully) The Last Guardian on a significantly superior console. It's all good news for me.

[TristanPR77]

This isn't accurate data, you all know it. Not saying the PS4 is not dominating the x1, it is and we also know it but vgchartz in general is not accurate. It may just give an aproximate.

[Hicken]

Oh, we all know. The xbox fanboys just want to tray it like everybody conveniently forgets.

[Gamer1982]

I agree nobody can give an exact number they are an approximation but they are pretty close to the nose. They are only ever a couple of thousand out.. VGchartz sources are pretty damn reliable.

[DevilishSix]

PS4 numbers for week Feb 8 shoud be greatly increased as Amazon had it in stock for the first time in weeks and their stock sold out in 3 days. Good job Sony u deserve it. Thank you for giving us a game console.

[Bdub2000]

I remember when all the PS4 guys said that last week, too...

[DanielGearSolid]

Were they wrong?

[mike32UK]

And there has been a 25% increase in sales... What is your point?

[alb1899]

Microsoft’s Xbox One costs bout $471 to make, compared to $381 for the PS4. This naturally explains why Microsoft is selling the Xbox One for $500, while Sony is selling the PS4 for $400.
The cost of kinect is $75 so Microsoft won't put the price down. What MS can do is to keep investing in studios and good games and they can afford to do that.
If is about experience and good games MS could win but for MS win doesn't need to over sell the SONY in hardware.......they can over sell them in games and is a better win and a preparation for a more solid fans for the next gen to come.
MS is strong in MP games and SONY in SP.......do I have to tell you which sells more....MP vs SP?
This year line up of exclusive can tell you the truth about this.

[nycgamer4ever]

if those cost numbers are true then someone at MS research and design needs firing. they are getting ripped off. May its because they are not a hardware company so their overhead is higher.

[alb1899]

The numbers are true, you can search, I was surprise too.

[ABizzel1]

The numbers are breakdowns, not the actual numbers from MS or Sony, we don't know what kind of deals they've made with AMD, and their other providers when building these consoles, we can only get an approximation, and those number are the ones they've came up with.

[nycgamer4ever]

@abizzel1

then more than likely they save some on bulk purchase, however research and development probably offsets that.

[Christopher]

Here's one thing I've noted about the idea of forcing the kinect with every xbox sold:

It's less likely that a household will have more than one since people rarely will utilize Kinect in more than just the main entertainment hub of the house. So, when people look to buy additional consoles, having to pay $100 more than the competition for something they already have in their house? I'm not sure people won't be tempted to buy a PS4 instead of two XBOs.

[Bathyj]

Good point. Who wants to pay 100 bucks extra for a camera they dont want, twice? Once yeah, I can see that, but not twice.

[S2Killinit]

Especially when the kinect is pretty much the equivalent to a survailance camera for homes.

[SmielmaN]

I'll be tempted to get two PS4's (currently have 2 ps3's) when we get a game that's good enough for a LAN party. Maybe destiny or division?

[Gamer1982]

The problem is with MS and was last generation is MS has no idea how to run a gaming console business like Sony and Nintendo. Thats why they dont invest in plenty of studios like them. Instead they just throw money at the issue and hope it works. It's basically limping by and thanks to a head start last generation and this tactics it kept them ahead for a while but it was beaten by a more expensive console purely because of lack of studios in the end and thus lack of exclusives. Its also the reason it failed to crack Japan.

It also thought buying a studio like RARE would work which in normal circumstances it would but not hiring proper people to run it and putting all sorts of silly restrictions on them destroyed them and destroyed any chance of that studio becoming a powerhouse.

[mediate-this]

Theres no one way to do things in business, if throwing money for exclusives makes micro money in the end run, then whats the problem. Micro has alot of ip they dont use, i see that as annoying tho

[ironmonkey]

ps4 is the better one this time and its cheaper. win win there. while ms are trying to fix their problems sony is just adding to whats already amazing. loving outcast with sweaty armpits.

[Hanso]

i have it in my download list thanks to + but still no ps4 T__T

Whats the gameplay like?

[Ggame]

Hey ! The PS4 completely outsold XboxOne !!!!!!!

[Max-Zorin]

N4G - where it's cool to argue about money being deposited into these corporate companies accounts.

[BlackTar187]

N4G- Where its cool to comment on stuff you pretend you don't care about.

[Clarence]

@kingdavid
The 360 sold 45m in NA alone. The majority of those 53 countries can't total the number of sales that the xbone can get from NA an Europe. Face it the xbone is just as popular as the PS4.

I remember when you Xbox fans claimed that NA was the main territory and no other countries counted.

Now all of a sudden you all want to count other territories. Get ready for the PS4 to dominate this gen.

Sony is slowly but surely starting to keep up with the demand. Like I said before releasing both consoles at the same time would only show how strong the playstation brand is.

[No_Limit]

WOW, so when did VGchartz became trustable? It wasn't during the entire last generation and now it is? smh

[Clarence]

Vgchartz is never trustworthy. The PS4 numbers are probably much higher than what they are reporting.

Last gen there was evidence that vgchartz was under tracking the PS3 numbers.
Don't play dumb like vgchartz has never been guilty of this.

This gen it's a lot harder for them to BS the numbers, because the PS4 numbers are amazingly high.

[BlackTar187]

Not one person is saying VG Chartz is reliable or trust able.

Once you people sop saying that over and over despite the comments saying the opposite is the day the WiiU sells more then MS and PS4 combined.

I feel like you people operate like this....
1. See Article
2. See Comment Count
3. Refuses to read comments
4. Types up a post that is inaccurate
5. Looks around like you just discovered the earth was round and you're the first to make note of it.
6. Closes down internet goes on N64 and plays Blast Corps.

[MasterCornholio]

I'm surprised that Tomb Raider for the PS4 is still in the top 5. When it drops to 40$ I'll buy it.

[urwifeminder]

Congrats MS and Nintendo I like your work.

[Whiskeyjacked87]

These articles are the best!!! Love the sad xbots fans comments, they make me laugh! Their worst nightmares are coming true right before their eyes and some of them are going crazy making up radical nonsensical lies and then believing their own lies! They are hoping and praying Titanfall helps push Xbox over the top but it won't, anyone with a pc isn't going to fork out $500 just to play it in 720p on Xbox one. Get real! And the 75+ million gamers who have an Xbox 360 aren't going to upgrade consoles when the 360 version is almost identical. Your out of your minds, but keep dreaming, thet are slowly turning into nightmares!!!

[Father__Merrin]

loving the anguish of Xbox fan boys, P.S.4 is better and will sell better, the truth hurts it really does and no amount of your fan boyism will change that

[Tedakin]

Hey Sony fans. Thanks for breaking the news that the PS4 is selling more. No one has ever denied this. You're just making yourselves look like smug jerks as usual by rubbing it in.

[MasterCornholio]

"No one has ever denied this."

Plenty of people deny this and still do. I remember there was this user called Edonus who did a bunch of calculations to prove that the Xbox One sold more per square kilometer than the PS4. Or those who believe that the Xbox One would outsell the PS4 if it released in ad many regions as it.

[Bearsfanfourlife]

Xbox one>ps4 I have both that is all

[bigj79]

What is crazy is all the Sony fans say the PS4 is so much more powerful and better than the xbox one and it is $100 less. Then you look at the sales numbers and Microsoft is doing well compared to the PS4.Sony fans was hoping it was going to be like the Dreamcast and fail but they forgot Sony was going to be in competition with one of the wealthiest companies in the world. I bought my xbox one last week and I love it!!! Microsoft did a great job with the xbox one. I will never buy another playstation again. I had the PS3 and never played it. It took forever to update the thing and the menu was hard to look at. Sony uses the same ugly menu on all its products and not sure why. I have a vizio tv that was a lot cheaper than my bravia and it shits all over the bravia in picture quality, content and the menu looks a lot better than the bravia does.

[JeffGUNZ]

I don't understand why the use the same interface for everything, I guess so it's familiar if you own all sony products. It isn't awful, but it's dated. They simplified it with the PS4, but still doesn't feel fresh. Granted, UI for the PS4 isn't their selling point by any means, so it's not that big of a deal.

Vizio really does have a beautiful picture. If you don't want to fork out for Samsung or LG, Vizio is the next best.

I'm glad you're enjoying your X1, it really is a fun system and I bet you're excited for Titanfall!

[S2Killinit]

Your logic is so warped i cant even comment on it. Your making presumptions on behalf of other people, then you straight up make faulse claims about the PS interface being the same as before, makes me wonder if you've even seen the new interface. Then you compare tvs, haha i have to say you must live in a simple world, everything seems so clear and straightforward when you dont have to take any variables into consideration. Must be nice.

[Benjaminkno]

I don't understand why people are buying Ps4 or XBO.

It's still not worth it.

[MasterCornholio]

What would happen with the PS4 if no one bought consoles at launch and waited a year or two to buy them?

Early adopters are necessary for the console to be successful.

[Benjaminkno]

Releasing the product before it's ready is counterproductive.

I dont care who does it, it's not worth it.

[NeloAnjelo]

The thing is Sony hasn't even taken out the shot gun yet. The big AAA are coming in force soon!

This is what happens when the PS4 is IN STOCK!

[metalmatters]

theres never any PS4's in store shelves, but theres always plenty of xbox 1. I wanted to buy my PS4 Camera and not even that one was in stock :/

[corvusmd]

Wow, so XB1 has almost already completely closed the gap in console sales already in the US, most including myself didn't think it would be till titanfall or next Christmas...despite being a week behind, $100 more, and (in my area) much harder to find than a PS4...it's still selling very well (of course admittedly at this point consoles sales stats really just means how fast they can get consoles to the shelves).

The part that I noticed, that is perhaps much more important, is that despite selling more consoles, the "gamer" console is selling less games. Although on N4G, we knew this by the amount of trolls that have no games to play.

[_FantasmA_]

That ecksbocks has only been selling murica. The PS3 is still outselling it in EU. And you guys try to say that the ecksbawks brand doesn't sell because its amurican. 2 more weeks until the PS4 makes giant leap to like 6-7 million sold while the 180 will be at 3.4 still.

[xc7x]

its quite obvious whats selling more by visiting local stores,in my area all PS4's are all bought up,but always see some XB1's on shelves.

[NewAgeisHere]

I still want Xbox to do ok for the sake of competition, but the gamers have clearly spoken =PS4.It's not rocket science, Sony showed us they mean business and we opened our wallets, simple as that. Sony exclusives were amazing on PS3 and to show us how serious they are about games, Sony finished last gen with....The Last of Us - once poeple saw and played that game, it was game over for MS imo. I think TLOU can take a lot of credit for PS4's success as well.
