Pachter Predicts: Xbox One outsold PS4 in September (dance, you puppets)

I kind of hope this is true. I honestly think Xbox deserves the most sales as of now because of all the effort they are putting into the UI. Also, it would be nice for Sony to start feeling some pressure and start adding stuff to the PS4 OS.

I'm curious if this would be a positive or negative for MS if it turns out that PS4>XB1 in September. Do they benefit from articles like these, showing positive buzz? Or would it be embarrassing and hurt them? Hmmm.

Someone should edit that picture with Pachter's face and Xbox beats PlayStation on the paper.

I could've sworn these games consoles were supposed to play games. Shouldn't the one that is most capable of doing the main purpose be the one to garner the most sales?

UI? how should that constitute sales?
 
They've both capable of playing games, and do.

My point is that a games console most important quality is its ability to play games. OS updates are nice, but don't necessarily improve the ability to play games. In fact, play share, seems to be one of the first OS updates by either company that directly impacts gameplay. Should Sony get extra sales for that? If the answer is no, then you're saying that the OS updates only matter when they address things that aren't necessarily gaming focused

Nothing sells consoles like OS updates.

Hope all you want. It's not going to happen. Pachter is flat-out wrong with this one.

It isn't the 90's any more. Consoles need to do more than just play games

They do and have now for what...over 6-8 years. we live in a magical time :p
I dont like xbox green and I dont like patcher. so i hope he's wrong.


also whom ever thought the xbox colors where a good idea went to the wrong university, it just make me think of candy and eating, just like 7-11 and Subway... not that its amazing new tech from the future. /rant
 
Both consoles are great. Why all the fuss? I trade off between them. Played tons of TLOU remaster on the PS4 and an playing tons of Destiny on the XB1 now. I love the new October updates btw. Much better and snappier.

To me it seems like Microsoft is actually working on improving their console while Sony is just sitting around. I never said that OS is why people buy consoles, but the way Microsoft is actually working on providing a better experience to the people that buy the console rather than just giving them something barebones is more pro consumer. Also, how the hell is PS4 more capable to play games? Because it's a bit more powerful? In that case fuck the PS4 and Xbox. Microsoft should shut down the Xbox division and Sony should go out of business. Lets all move to PC gaming!

Microsoft has done monthly updates and preview programs where they have taken user input and made changes. What have we gotten since the PS4 launch?

Isn't it about 40% more powerful?

That's hardly a 'bit'.

That's just more stuff to sell to people that own a PS4 rather than improving the core experience.

I thought that a large part of buying consoles was because of convenience not solely power. You can definitely have both in a console. As of now PS4 may have the power, but Xbox One goes way beyond it in convenience.

anyone else planning to rub one out because that PS4 dominance continuing feels so good.


If the ps4 doesn't outsell the one I would be worried. Destiny month and white ps4. No way that is losing. Sonys biggest first party release destiny. It's gonna be a whooping

Well, that's one way to spin it. You should work for MS.

If it is true would that not mean big trouble for Microsoft?

They had to give 2 free games to beat Sony something they can't continually do.

Don't you see? Only SO can set the works right. Stupid consumers haven't bought into Microsoft's first class convenience yet

Well if we are going to "nitpick" percentages - from Ubisoft's own - compute can be ~100% faster on PS4.
That said I do think this is the first stationary console generation where a significant "resolution-gate" is standard for multiplatform releases (if XBox1 lived longer, it may have gotten to that state in that gen too).
