The PS4 Is Beating the Xbox One; Will This Continue?

Tim Green of Motley Fool: With both the PS4 from Sony (NYSE: SNE ) and the Xbox One from Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) available for purchase, the next generation of console gaming has finally arrived. In a previous article I gave a few reasons why I thought the PlayStation 4 would ultimately prove victorious, with Sony besting Microsoft in the battle for the living room. While it's only been a few weeks, my initial impression is that Sony is on track to do just that.

I can't see a reason why it won't. The PS4 will always beat the Xbox one in Europe and Japan. So far, the PS4 is leading in North America too.

Will it matter!? NOPE!

Xbox fans will continue enjoying their exclusives and console!

[HomerJDog]

well said lalanana.

[MasterCornholio]

Will sales matter?

Well ask 3rd parties that question.

[noctis_lumia]

same happened last gen...ps3 has no games...xbox does...

look both consoles now..who have the most exclusives games ? ps3

same will happen this gen buddy...enjoy skype..oups i mean xbone

confirmed by xbox fan Lalanana.

What exclusives all y'all have next year is Titanfall and Quantum Break next year. While PS4 has InFamous Second Son,Drive club,The Order 1886,and Uncharted 4. Plus Santa Monica,Media Molecule,Quantic Dream,and Guerrilla Games didn't even reveal their new IP's. You Xbots think y'all have exclusives but y'all don't. MS paid to have DR3 and Titanfall exclusive, and they took a game that was supposed to be a kinect Xbox 360 game and made it into a triple A.

[gamesR4fun]

ya it looks like sony will hold the lead lets just hope ms does well enough to stay in the game nintendo too a world with only one console would suck

[JW1080]

I can only only speak for myself but if Microsoft stopped making videogames I wouldn't be that upset. Playstaion on the other hand I would be majorly upset.

[BullyMangler]

regardless of saLes the wiiU is hammering both the ps4 and x1; Will this continue?

[Hicken]

How does that work, when the other two consoles have done half the Wii U's lifetime sales in a matter of weeks?

[joab777]

I love my ps4 but how can we even ask this question? Gotta give it a yr b4 we even begin to talk about it. Titanfall, Infamous, Halo, etc. So much changes every yr.

[noctis_lumia]

kk halos came for the 360 and the ps3 still outsold it worldwide

[noctis_lumia]

double post

[fendernow]

Exactly. Wait till the smoke clears and then we will see what console people want.

[pyramidshead]

Probably...at this point who really cares? lol

[SegaGamer]

Exactly, one day i will own both, enjoy both and they will both be successful.

[Majin-vegeta]

Yes,thats why the new stocks of PS4 get sold out quickly when they go up.

[Pope_Kaz_Hirai_II]

Its better for gaming that the gaming console does better, screw gimmicks and casual devices like kinect we want games full stop.

Before people disagree i didnt call the xbone a non gaming console i stated the ps4 was more designed for gaming than xbone.

[Morgue]

If you can look beyond the TV, Fantasy football, Kinect, Snapping, Smart Glass, the cloud and whatever garbage MS is going on about. In between all that I'm sure there will be some good games but I just want too play games. That's why I stay with Sony and bought a PS4.

[AceBlazer13]

Is the sea salty?

[dcj0524]

It's sweet. Yum

[JW1080]

I think so. Especially when the exclusive games really start rolling in. Right now there is not many but the price is really making it a hot item.

[GamersHeaven]

Yes

[noctis_lumia]

ofc it will

ps4 isnt even out in asia and it already beating the xbox 2 to 1

[Lucifun]

Maybe it will go on, maybe it will not. Just because more people have one or the other console doesn't mean I have to buy one.

[_FantasmA_]

I hope so.

[franko]

Ps4 is the king. But let's wait a year and we'll see. MS is not some new company , they know how to attract customers. We'll see how it goes this hollidays. We all know how are americans and their wallets around christmas. I'm getting ps4. KZ and Bf4 are my primo choice.

Fuggin oath.
