Sony's PlayStation 4 Completely Dominates Microsoft's Xbox One

In the battle for console supremacy currently under way between Japanese electronics giant Sony (NYSE: SNE ) and software powerhouse Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) , the hypothetical scoreboard currently reads...

Sony 6 million, Microsoft, well... a lot less than that.

Truth be told, few know exactly how many Xbox One's Microsoft has sold since its debut late last year. However, as was implied once again this week, Sony appears to be pulling ahead more each week in the race to control this major tech market.

There is no denying it at this point! Sony pushed all the right buttons, and its popularity is showing that.

X1 will catch up it's inevitable

[Majin-vegeta]

Hmm let's see

PS4 outselling the X1 in NA,Europe.It's two strongest territories and that's only cuz Sony can;t keep up with demand,Wait until they can oh boy.

[Lowsnamebrand]

Sure and you'll eventually get a second bubble too

[SardoNumspa]

Not only is the PS4 outselling the XB1 in the US by 2-1, and Europe 5-1. The PS4 is outselling the XB1 worldwide just by its Japan sales of 60k/week 240k/month alone.

The XB1 is only selling 140k/month in the US and about 30-40k/month in Europe. If the PS4 was just being sold in Japan and not in the US and Europe it would still be increasing its massive lead by some 60-70k/month.

The PS4 is already close to double the XB1's 3.3 or so million installed base. And the PS4 in on track to have 3-1 or 4-1 installed base advantage by the end of 2014.

'Catching up' isn't in the realm of possibilities for the XB1.

@lifeisgamesok
Xbone will only catch up if it starts red ringing at a similar frequency with which is failed last gen. Otherwise, the numbers just aren't there for Microsoft. And if they can't count multiple sales to the same dopes who buy their under-engineered products, well, they have no hope at all. They won't win Europe or Asia, no matter what, and they are losing North America and the UK, and Sony hasn't even delivered any of their heavy hitters for PS4 yet. And that's not even taking into account PS4 shortages almost everywhere globally. Microsoft hasn't even released numbers because dat bone just ain't selling. They are waiting for Titanfall to give them some kind of boost so it doesn't look so bad for them. But after Infamous and Ground Zeroes release for PS4, any temporary sales advantage from TitanFall will vanish. Game over.

Top 3 Reasons why this is happening.

1.Price
2.Better hardware
3.No anti consumerism crap.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

From the looks of it you listed reasons. Price and better hardware.

I don't know of any anti consumer stuff that's on X1 currently.

[maddskull]

The main anti consumer thing about Xbox is their costumer support even ea has a better costumer support than xbox. All the drm shit that they were trying to force down people throats. Last but not least all the adds you get even though you pay for a subscription.

[chikane]

Yeah....

really guys fool.com again?

"Forget video games, this new technology boom is preparing to take off."

Stops reading there.

He's right its all fact but its something we've already known. Sounds like this article is an attempt at minimizing, and downplaying the the hype and great news X1 currently has going for it.

And say "hey lets throw games aside and talk about sales."

No I wanna talk about freakin games.

But nice try writer.

[Skate-AK]

Well last gen the Xbox fanboys wanted to throw out games and count sales after their lackluster exclusives compared to TLoU, UC2, UC3 and God of War 3.

[Dinkis]

I think they will release #s after a week or 2 of titainfall

[hello12]

Microsoft has not released sales figures since December of 2013, so we don't know currently were they stand.

I bet they'll produce figures by the end of this month for sure.

[GraveLord]

We know they stood at 3 million sold by the end of 2013. If they haven't updated figures since then its because they are way behind the competition.

[hello12]

Yes they are behind that's well established. You can't ignore the fact though Microsoft has only released in 13 countries.

Lot of people were annoyed by this in other countries. I suspect Microsoft just hadn't the time to produce enough consoles for those other countries.

I think with all the revealing's lately, it does seem like the x box 1 was designed for 2014 launch were Sony was ready for launch in 2013

[SardoNumspa]

We don't need Microsoft to release any numbers to have a very good idea where the XB1's worldwide installed base numbers are at:

The XB1 was at 3 million sold in at the end of 2013.

The XB1 sold 140k in the US in January.

The XB1 sold about 30-40k in Europe in January.

The XB1 has sold 0 in Japan.

Any other minor countries are not going to affect the totals significantly.

The XB1 is sitting just under 3.2 million as of the end of January. We don't have Feburary NPD yet, but the February Europe sales we've seen have been worse than January's.

Unless there is some absurdly high US NPD for the XB1, the PS4 is roughly double the XB1's worldwide total now.

[Ko_Uraki]

It has been true till now. But Titanfall bundle can make the difference at least in the US and for some weeks.

[Mrveryodd]

B.S

[Ra3030]

Sadly those numbers they reported the 3.2 million units sold were not the actual consumer sales figures. As it turns out that the 3.2 million was the number shipped to retailers. They never set the record straight on the actual number sold. I think the number going around now as sales for the X1 is around 4 million but who knows maybe that's the shipped number. What we do no is Microsoft is having more than a little trouble moving the X1. Titanfall will give them a boost. Maybe 500k by the end of year if their lucky and the bulk of that will be in the next couple months. After Titanfall what will Microsoft do? That's the million dollar question. I don't think they'll have any other big AAA game releases that will sale consoles. Though I could be wrong. I believe Microsoft will sale the Xbox hardware. At least half their boardroom and maybe more has had enough on the hardware gamble. There's just not enough profit in it.

[Iluvtrim]

Xbox in 13 countries. Ps4 in 57. Give the box some time. Every one needs to take a break on the hate and simply enjoy ur console of choice. I know I am .

[Hicken]

The number of countries is irrelevant.

Why?

Because Xbox is losing in all 13 countries, and has virtually NO brand strength elsewhere. Continuing to use that as some sort of reason why the XB1 is behind is beyond weak.

[Geoff900]

I find it highly amusing that a lot of you are making a big deal over sales, it's been three months there isn't a lot of games on either platform.

The Xbox One could catch up, much like the PS3 did with the Xbox 360, but noooo fanboys have to drag this so called 'war', on for as long as possible, when this 'war' doesn't even exist.

All companies just want market share, and make money on their hardware/software nothing more, MS, Sony and Nintendo are only making games for profit nothing more.

We play games for sheer entertainment, it doesn't offer anything more than that.

[urwifeminder]

The best game in town.

[Whiskeyjacked87]

Lol I can only sit back and wonder what Xbox fans will say down the road when Sony is outselling them by 10-15 million systems. Will they still be arguing? Probably, but jeez them fanboys must be off their rockers.
