Why Playstation4 Outsold Xbox One
by Alexa Is McAfee CloudPlayStation 4 has become the second most selling gaming
console to date, and the selling numbers are yet to increase in the coming
days. It has left gaming consoles of the Xbox series far behind along with
Nintendo and Nintendo 64. If you are a fan of online gaming and keep an eye on
the various facts related to gaming consoles, then the disparity in terms of
selling numbers of these gaming consoles must have come to your mind. Now, the
question arises why is there so massive disparity among the selling numbers of
both these gaming consoles. It is noticeable that the lifespan of Xbox One may
come to an end with series X as the selling numbers of Xbox one is even far
behind the selling numbers of the Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, the original NES, the
SNES, and the original Play Station. Why people have preferred PlayStation4
more than the Xbox One. Here is the answer to these questions:-
Why Xbox lags behind Playstation in
terms of selling numbers?
When you started inquiring about these vital questions, then
you will find that the difference in the prices of both gaming consoles played
a crucial role. The cost of Playstation 4 was much lower than the Xbox One. The
Playstation 4 as gaming console was much powerful in comparison to the Xbox
One. Sony always made it clear to the people that this gaming console is only
for games and did everything to keep its words. The marketing strategy of Sony
was also perfect, and it rightly hit on the weak points of Microsoft. Sony did
a lot of innovations to make Playstation virtual reality more enhanced and
introduced an excellent software library along with making it affordable. Sony
has a clear goal and vision regarding the features and prices of Playstation 4
and executed it wonderfully. Even in the case of Nintendo Switch, which
introduced a complicated system, it was taken into notice by the company itself
that other people should get additional advantages in the form of enhanced
graphics and accessible communication with players. Sony decided to care about
the needs of online gamers and directly addressed them with making innovations
in the games in a brilliant way.
On the other hand, Microsoft looked confused, even though it
introduced a powerful gaming console. Microsoft failed the address to the needs
and likes of online gamers, and so it lagged Xbox far behind in terms of
selling numbers. However, Microsoft introduced several great features in Xbox
like Game Pass and Backwards compatibility one, but it all goes in vain. The
elements in the Xbox one well poorly communicated and poorly executed, too,
which affect its sale in large. Sony is also leading as it released some great
games of current generation on its gaming consoles such as Horizon Zero Dawn,
Uncharted4, The Last of Us, Marvel's Spider-man and God of war and the lists
does not end here as Sony is all set to release The Final Fantasy Vii in the
coming year.
What is next For Sony Vs. Microsoft?
At first sight, it is evident that Sony is far ahead and almost has won the game, but Microsoft is also learning from its previous missteps. Microsoft is focusing on the gaming and conveying the online gamers about the best features it has included in the Xbox One. Microsoft has done a lot of innovations in the backward compatibility feature, after which playing Ninja Garden is going to be a fantastic experience for you. The console war between Microsoft and Sony is going to be much more interesting in the coming days. Microsoft is all set to take on Sony in the console war efficiently after updating the features in Xbox One.
