Xbox one, for the first time has over taken ps4 in the
quarterly sales. Is this the sign for the coming console dominance for a place
in your living room?
Microsoft has reported that its xbox one console sales have
tripled, the reason: a $50 price cut and an offered free game. Just when you
thought that the ps4 was going to dominate this generation of console war, Microsoft
has come up with a bang in form multiple of price cuts.
Sony’s ps4 has been dominating the console sales chart for
nine straight months with blockbuster sales accompanied by its $399 price tag
where as xbox was lagging far behind costing $100 more. The cause was that xbox
has a kinect sensor included into the bundle but that has been removed now in
order to bring the price down.
Microsoft has been making lots of changes for its console
since the time of its introduction in e3 2013. First was a regulatory always on
policy which didn’t go down too well with the gaming crowd. And the next, was
the game sharing feature where you cannot share a game with a friend, it was
teases as renting a game for a full $60 but still Microsoft owned the game, not
you
But all that has been removed due to the backlash from the
gaming community, since the playing field has been leveled, and xbox costing
$50 less than ps4 with a free game, it would be interesting to see how this
generation if console will go on
No doubt, the biggest winner in this war will be the gamers
who buy the console for dirt cheap prices.
