while selling 3 million is great. I don't think MS can afford to let Sony continue to dominate.
way way too early to call it dominating.

let the sales settle into a normal buying pattern, then people can ready their e-peens. And MS definitely CAN afford it, much more than Sony could afford being behind for the better part of 7 yrs in the last gen console race. Neither company is going to fold due to a 1 mil, or 2 mil WW lead. Just ludicrous.

Also, why in the hell would any of you want MS or Sony to fail? Or get any sort of pleasure in how big a gap or margin in sales there is? If you want a stale, degenerative market, please by all means HOPE for one to fail.
 
A console war victor is decided by which console sold the most units.
Sorry your favorite doesn't fit this criteria :-/

You're the one with the "favorite" agenda here.. I'm not looking for a victor here - I'm simply outlining how to interpret sales numbers - especially if we're referring to overall "sales"...
 
Xbox 360 is 2013's best-selling home console in the UK - report

http://www.oxm.co.uk/69323/xbox-360-is-2013s-best-selling-home-console-in-the-uk-report/


Rather unsurprisingly, the humble Xbox 360 appears to have topped UK hardware sales charts for 2013, and is second only to the 3DS overall. Ah, my little 360 - in the pantheon of consoles, you are undoubtedly Zeus. Which is to say, you're the lechy bearded one who enjoys a bit of reverse-bestiality. OK, how do you feel about Poseidon, then?

The data comes care of Eurogamer, which has been chatting to Chart-Track. The Xbox 360 lost 30.7 per cent of sales compared to last year, but still landed comfortably ahead of the PS4 - and the Xbox One, which had to settle for fifth. Better luck next year, newblood.



the xbox 360 sold more units per chart track
but the ps4 made more money

Chart-Track released its sales data numbers for video game hardware (obtained by Eurogamer) for 2013. They are as follows:
•1. 3DS (including 2DS, XL) - up 4%
•2. Xbox 360 - down 30.7%
•3. PlayStation 4
•4. PlayStation 3 - down 31%
•5. Xbox One
•6. Vita - down 41%
•7. Wii U - up 41.5%
•8. Wii - down 72%

The family of 3DS products, which includes the 2DS and the 3DS XL, topped the overall hardware charts. This comes as no surprise, as the 3DS had a tremendous year with games like The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Pokemon X&Y, and Fire Emblem: Awakening.


On the other end of the chart are the Wii and Wii U. The Wii's sales are the lowest of any system, with a massive 72% decrease in sales over the year. And despite seeing a significant 41.5% boost in sales in 2013, the Wii U only outsold its predecessor.

Vita was the worst-selling handheld, though there are only two on the list. And though there's little chance of the Vita ever bridging the multi-milllion unit gap between itself and the 3DS, its compatibility with the PS4 has spiked Vita sales lately


The best selling console, the Xbox 360, saw overall sales decrease by over 30%. Of course, the Xbox 360 outselling both the Xbox One and PS4 doesn't spell doom for the new consoles. It was available for purchase the entire year, whereas the new consoles spent fewer than two months on the market.

Yeah, the 360 was a great console. I'm still wringing the last bits of life out of mine.
 
What we know...
Xbox1 sales = excellent
Ps4 sales = even better

What is the problem?
 
Way back when gaming was more a hobby then how popular it is today the company who sold the most hardware made the most $. It was harder for 2nd place even though SNES and Genesis made a profit for their makers as they both sold ballparkish to each other relatively. We (many of us) all explained to him the market is big enough for 2 (maybe 3) companies now especially after last gen to make $. This is good for console gaming as a whole. Vall would rather have 1 manufacturer with a monopoly but only if it is sony. Why? I'm guessing he feels Nintendo and MS are holding sony back somehow?

What? How that makes no sense(not saying you but what you quoted)
He probably meant ps3 and that is totally believable.
 
Did I do a OT post?
I don't know what OT post means. If the O stands for offensive or anything like that,No you didn't. Well at least as far as I'm concerned.
I find your pass Sony good actually. Just not on X1 only threads. Multi platform threads are fair game. There is nothing wrong with being a "fanboy".

Given that logic just going off of sales. The 360 is better than the PS4 because its sold more last month right.
XBOX WINS TUE CONSOLE WAR, Sony fans have admitted defeat! Yay
 
david v is trolling you
ot = off topic

I would suggest not to respond to his baiting you


360 is better than the PS4 because its sold more last year in the UK, then did the ps4

Since the PS4 released....the PS4 has sold more....derp.
 
Actually here on planet earth there are more games to play on the PS4 than on the X1, and more highly rated games on the PS4 too. Have you checked Metacritic lately?

Just keeping some of you guys honest with the theory that PS4 and X1 are "equally available." Honestly only one person really said that so those posts were really just for him.
You crack us up man :bang:
 
I'm sure studios will now attempt to churn out at least 900p games for multiplatforms for the Xbox One now since there was this wave of criticism across the internet.

I am sure the intent is and will always be 1080p on the Xbox One. The upcoming Tomb Raider is an example of that, not to mention, most of the games on the Xbox One are already 1080p. Great news for gamers that is for sure.

depends on what they are sacrificing to achieve 1080p (in future games)

You'd think... some only reserve their patience with regards to "potential" for their console of choice.
