The truth is Microsoft is going to get outsold by Sony. Its going to happen a lot sooner than what Microsoft expects. They fukking handicapped themselves by creating an "Entertainment" center. Pissed off gamers, resell shops, and people who live overseas. Their system is more expensive and less powerful. Given time Microsoft can get back on track but the strategy to sell the Xbone messed them up in the very beginning. They are hoping they can flood the market with Xboxes and hope people will continue to buy them. It's an interesting strategy but Sony is hitting them with the stagger strategy (releasing slowly in different parts of the world) and it's going to pay off. Keeping demand high while shipping at a steady pace. I'm in Japan, so I won't see that PS4 in stores until later next year, but if Sony is selling out in America like this, I can guarantee you Microsoft won't sell like that in Japan.

And the obvious...Both systems sold over 1 million consoles...now if you break that down...

Xbox did 1M total in 13 countries.

Sony did 1M in just 2....

Microsoft is in trouble if they didn't outsell Sony in North America.
