Xbox One the cheaper price in US is helping, Europe though the price is the same, hence why the PS4 is more of a attractive deal (Not that Xb1's is not) but EU was alway's Playstation's territory and Xbox alway's came second there.

I will actually say something positive instead of my normal negative X1 comment.. They're both outselling the 3DS, and week after week the consoles continue to display that the home consoles are the most relevant forms entertainment in the gaming industry.

@mikes
I like seeing that as well! I'm hoping the Japanese get back into consoles this generation

Well done NewMonday with your predictions months ago... I never said anything because ummm, you know I was living a life.

People believe vgchartz when it suits them too it seems....

I looked at the video game copy sales and what i take from that is... business is booming!

Gamers are really buying alot of games this time around!

Publishers and developers should respect this effort from the consumers to raise this industry even more by creating more different content than ever before.. and hopefully not a buggfest ala Unity.

@Pogmathoin - We're all thankful that you put your exciting life on hold long enough to post that comment. As for vgchartz, it's well known to under track PS and over track XB, so if they have PS leading it's pretty safe to tentatively accept it as fact.

As DarkAstronaut mentioned ... people buy what their friends buy. PS4 already had a huge lead thus the appeal of XB1 even with a price drop is lower due to this.

So honestly ... you shouldn't be shocked that PS4 is still winning.

What you should be shocked is that XB1 is at least making it a fight now and is winning in the USA.

@Cindy-rella

PS4 launched at $399.00 and Xbox One launched at $499.00. PS4 was $100.00 cheaper for the first 6 months after launch, that's why there's a 7 million unit gap.

@BattleAxe - PS4's lead continued to grow at a fast rate even after the XB1 price cut. The only reason XB1 is doing so well this holiday is the extra price cut and the insane bundles on offer.

On another site that has nothing to do with gaming, I saw a thread yesterday from someone asking whether to get PS4 or XB1. The answers were overwhelmingly in PS4's favor, but the guy chose XB1 because it's cheaper with so much included in those bundles.

Cindy-rella

no doubt MS had some amazing bundles but don't forget sony had amazing bundles in Europe, where you could get the console cheaper and still get 2-3 games. nd in the USA ps4 bundles were not bad at all either

also i think consoles sell based off what someone's friend has, so last gen a lot of people bought xbox360(since it came out a year before ps3) and rest of the gen we saw that trend continue in the USA market especially.

MS/xbox one has a long way to go, i personally just don't see them being able to catch ps4. in early 2015 ps4 will do gangbuster numbers because of the line of awesome exclusives

ps3 was more expensive and outsold the 360 since launch too.

I'm mainly curious as to what happens come after the holidays, in regards to pricing and such.

@madmonkey

Uh 360 came out almost a year earlier. So by time PS3 released 360 was already at almost 8 million consoles sold. PS3 may have cought up but it in no way lead in sales since launch because of the time difference. 360 had an 8 million console sales lead and maintained its lead for about 2 years, which is how long it took PS3 to catch up to its lead.

By the end of the cosole generation, still selling mind you, PS3 had sold 84.1 million and XB 360 has sold 83.9 million. That is barely a 200k difference between the two. Now the 360 did have a year more to make those sales but PS3 cought up. If you ask me, it would be ignorant to think that history, known to repeat itself, wont do the same this generation. We still have several years left and PS4 can not sell at the same rate it is right now forever.

If there is anything we have learned generation after generation, there is always two consoles that are about neck and neck each time. NES VS Sega, SNES VS Sega, N64 VS Sony, GC VS PS2 and XBOX with the latter two doing the best etc etc etc. Watch and see.

By the end of this gen all sales will level out between two systems. Not everyone that plays games is going to or keep buying a PS4 and eventually a large number of people who buy a PS4 will then buy an XB1 and vice versa, myself included.

Note the global sales numbers to date on the right side of the web page:

im a ps4 gamer and i love my ps4(dislikes accepted)

NOBODY can deny that the xb1 deals are outstanding,infact there mentally cheap in UK imo!!

its nice to see them selling but i question at waht cost and also while the sales are up for xb1 the gap is still the same between the 2 consoles.

but regardless of what sony or xbox fanboys spurt,mself personally wish MS all the wellwishes i can give because i want this generation to be the best for price,games and not be about gamers being fucked over by DLC and fanboy wars.

Yep. Worldwide the PS4 is going to be slightly over or slightly under 20 million. 2015 with a price cut sometime is going to a be crazy for the PS4 considering it's selling this much right now. It has quite a few games that will see big spikes in sales when they're released being niche or mainstream titles. Currently it's not far behind the aligned Wii numbers.

Lol.. Sorry.. But have to point this out..
.how the hell is it over a million a week when its clearly 700k in the headline..

And vgchartz... Lol

@n4rc

Because it doesn't have to sell 1 million a week. There are 4 weeks left to go and 3.4 million to sell.
I am assuming here that like every other year, its top week will be the week before Christmas. It is a tall order but its safely within the realm of possibility. It will crush 18 million With the next two weeks.

End of 2014

PS4: 19.2m
XBO: 11.5m
WiiU: 8.7m

Eonjay

Referring to the comment above mine.. "Wow its going over a million units a week"

Just struck me as funny when this entire article is about 700k for the week..

Wait... so you're saying the PS4 numbers a wrong, when it comes to VGchartz... but the Xbox One numbers are right?

@n4rc

okay got you.

@HarvestEnvious:

Actually you are correct. VGC still has the PS4 undertracked by at least 200k. That's why many people (including me) believe 20m is possible.

I think 20 is a bit too much, that'd mean 1 million a week which I don't think will happen without some heavy deals continuing.

Also Harvest, that 13.5 million was at the end of September. That's two and a half months ago, including Black Friday.

EDIT: Initially had the wrong month.

I didnt know that the percentage drop in sales meant it would sell more consoles. Wow i must have missed that math class.
