Xbox One Outsells PS4 in the US for Third Month in a Row

Sony really dropped the ball for the second half of this year. Complacency? They may have a few things in their favor in Nov and December but Last Guardian will have to be mindblowing. Just what is up with Polyphony and Gran Tursimo.. all racer fans should be fully converted to Forza by now, these disappointing delays are not something you can get used to.

Xbox has been killing it recently. Awesome new features, great line up for exclusives this Christmas, 4K UHD & HDR in the Xbox One S, Scorpio on the horizon, great Deals with Gold and Games with Gold each month. This is no where near the same Xbox that was in 2013, not even close. In Phil we trust!

I wonder how this isn't more then just 3 months. Xbox does now have way better exclusives then ps4.

Sniff-sniff, I smell another Sony Pony, Xbot pissing contest...

MS, kicking ass and taking names. I never doubted the success of XO, I pre-ordered from the MS Store because I actually understood (been on Steam since day 1) that digital downloads are superior to disc and I'd been connected online 24/7 since 1997.

Advantage MS = Obvious.

Three months in a row of these stories have made some sony fanboys here extremely butt-hurt. They are getting really tilted in the comment section.

It's good to see both doing well, hopefully this will drive Sony to push more on the 1st party front. They have had a lull since uncharted 4.

In interested in VR based on what I've seen so far.

Hopefully this will wake them up a little.

The Pro shows little gain for me personally, but people looking to get one will want something to play on it

People still don't realize that the USA market is bigger than the European market COMBINED! And is the largest console market.

How do you think the 360 was able to maintain second place while the PS3 was selling better in countries outside the USA? If you can dominate in the USA then you really don't have to worry about sales in countries outside the USA.

I will never get a X1 for the simple reason that I refuse to pay annual online fee twice. This is just stupid.

now sales matter? i want them to go back to telling me the hours of GoW played etc.....

It's a nicer looking console but ps4 has the exclusives I like. The last guardian coming up...god of war....horizon zero dawn...plus the ps4 pro? I still can't buy this system for some reason I just refuse to pay 2 online fees for 2 consoles when I'm just 1 person lol. But I'm not gonna lie I miss the hell out of gears

Kudos to Microsoft for all their hard work! These guys have been busting ass trying to make the console what it is today and hard work is always respected in my book, no matter what platform you play on.

What the X1 is now is what it should have been 3 years ago and that, my fellow gamers, is where we give Phil MAJOR props. IF Matrick was still in charge, the Xbox brand could be on life support. Thankfully us gamers have Phil as competition is king. Xbox wouldn't be where it is w/o that Sony competition. Sony did everything right in early 2013 until September 2016. Sony doesn't have a Phil Spencer and they're going to need one going forward.

Its about right with time. Last gen it took PS3 anywhere from 4-6yrs to start catching up to 360. We are going on our 3rd yr in this gen. I'm sure by the end of the generation these 2 console makers will be neck and neck just like last time..

Ps4 still outsold the xbox in the rest of the world xbox is so far behind there is no way they can catch up and when the ps4 pro is released they will get crushed.

Its called aggressive marketing. When you practically give away loaded consoles its bound to happen. Now let's wait for how many hours played lol

Told you.

Assuming production numbers are high enough, the PSVR bundles should tip this in Sony's favor for a couple months. It's going to be a rough first ~6-9mo of 2017 for both vendors, though.

I hope this will get some more game developers to make for the console. I know it'll be hard since it's losing in Japan, though. (Safe to say Sony is still losing in Japan though; the 3DS owns everyone's soul over there). Freaking 3DS games.

I know the only 2 games that I waned for the Xbox One are available via the Anniversary edition of Windows 10 so yeah...I have no reason to purchase the console at all.

My guessing is a lot of the purchasers were Xbox360 owners that just hadn't upgraded and the general tech-lovers who will buy them all with a sprinkling of new purchasers in the mix.

I think Americans have listened well to Donald Trump's rhetoric - "America first !! Make America Great Again !!. So American gamers have done just that by buying the X1 in droves with it being American and all that. PS4 is Japanese and the 'foreigner' taking away the sales. From now on, this news shouldn't be surprising. Americans will only buy one of their own no matter how retarded or average the product is. Just kidding lol... I own an X1 and PS4 but I play the X1 more often, thanks to Forza 6, Horizon 3, & GOW4. PS4 is an amazing system as well but after UC4, I don't have any other exclusives that I enjoy on that platform. I am a PC gamer first & foremost and use my rig for multiplats. This is great for Microsoft and their Xbox division, who continue to improve on their service and products. Sony need to do something drastic to claw themselves back from here on.

Well deserved, Sony has been tripping over themselves for a while now. Interesting to see where this goes when the PS4Pro is out though.

Well I mean, the slim model was just released, and Forza + Gears were released. Not really surprising news. I'm sure the PS4 will outsell it when their next model releases, and when they have some flagship titles release. It's just kind of common sense, but I suppose people still need to fight the console wars. I'll just be over here being a prod member of the PC + tri-console master race.

More than likely a result of people waiting/saving for the PS Pro.

Click bait alert, here come to PS owners ...

Guessing everyone already has a PS so might as well have both and play anything that comes out. Everyone wins.
