Search up the video game software sales charts of European countries such as Germany, France, Italy, Spain, etc… PS4 crushes Xbox One in those regions…

“P.S Halo 5 Guardians sold almost the same amount as COD BO3 it’s first week of release”

That is a false statement.

Black Ops 3 generated $550 million in sales in its first 3 days.
Halo 5 generated $400 million in sales in its first 3 days, but that also includes revenue generated from any Halo 5 related hardware (Halo 5 Xbox One console, Halo 5 branded controllers, Halo 5 microtransactions, etc.)

“Console side of the gaming business haven’t shifted to be service only.”

I didn’t say that. I’m saying talking hardware to imply that it is the only factor to determine who is more successful is false. Hardware is only half the story.

“That only really happen in the mobile and pc world.”

Don’t console gamers participate in micro-transactions? That’s just one example of a service that is game related.

“Pachter is only talk about the console business.”

Yes he is & having you believe that nothing else matters. Read his ending statements. It’s the kind of narrative console warriors love. I think Pachter knows what he’s doing , knowing he must compete for those clicks & have a certain audience tune in to his podcast. He’s not lying, but he’s not being completely honest either. The gaming business model has changed.

1) It released at 100 bucks less than X1 for 8 months
2) It was in 70+ countries since launch, whereas the X1 was in US, UK, and a few others
3) Many people still thought the X1 wouldn’t allow for used games with friends (and some still do)
4) PS4 consistently hits 1080p, not so for the Xbox

So, this here, is why the PS4 has GAINED the advantage. It isn’t simply because “most people love the Sony brand” like Pach’s claiming, although Sony has a huge following no doubt. Still, next generation, Microsoft may be the ones with the more powerful system that hits a higher resolution. And, Sony may have a big blunder at their E3. Not likely tho, since they always go second lol. Anyway, Pach’s got an attrocious argument here.

There are 30 million PS4s worldwide
17 million Xbox One’sworld wide
So obviously multiplatform games are gonna sell more on the PS4
P.S Halo 5 Guardians sold almost the same amount as COD BO3 it’s first week of release

They sell better if you factor user base. Sony is spending all this money and still can’t get their users to buy games.

More sales will always be a given if Sony accounts for 66% of consoles and only accounts for 60% of a games console sales even after throwing money at these 3rd parties that is not good in the eyes of shareholders, they wonder why they aren’t getting the game sales numbers.

Sony should be selling a higher percentage of games per console given all it’s invested into 3rd party titles, I don’t believe it is.

Given numbers are all of the place and there are no concrete numbers for game sales that include digital the only people that know are Sony and MS.
If you use VGchartz quite a few games like Black Op 3 for example sell very well on Xbox, better on PS4 but not as good as it should be given install base 3rd party agreements etc.

Console side of the gaming business haven’t shifted to be service only. That only really happen in the mobile and pc world. Pachter is only talk about the console business.

We don’t have global numbers unless you want to try vgcharts which is not reliable. I know npd is American and as far as concerned the biggest gaming market in the world also most of the time articles are written on this games it’s usually from a western perspective. Starwars battle front basically has numbers from Europe and America for now being considered. I think shooters are just suited to the xbox platform and community and most xbox gamer buy games digital. Japan sells more consoles true but Western games like COD and Destiny hardly sell that much. I’ll concede to the ps4 bundles and since I don’t know the global sales numbers I’ll stick more to npd as a reflection or atleast as a good hint as I imagine these games sell the bulk like GTA in the west .The west is definitely the main factor and those 2 seem to have their dominance on X1 in light of Sony’s heavy marketing.

NPD doesn’t take digital sales into account. PS4 bundles with a digital copy of Destiny were sold in 2014 and 2015 (with The Taken King, of course). PS4 bundles with a digital copy of Call of Duty Black Ops 3 were sold this year. It comes to no surprise that Black Ops 3 and Destiny are the two largest digital software sales launches ever on PSN.
Also, NPD is just the U.S. In Europe, Asia, and Japan, PS4 versions of third party games often sell many, many times better than the Xbox One versions. Overall, PS4 third party software sales are much higher than Xbox One third party software sales.
