PlayStation Or Xbox?
The question often asked when it comes down to consoles.
Sony and Microsoft have both released spectacular Next Generation Consoles
Both consoles have been adored by the gaming community.
Both of the consoles have there con's and pro's.
But today were talking about the sales about both of these consoles...

Sony and Microsoft have always had a competitive relationship no matter what industry it is.
But today were talking about some of there more popular products.
Sales and money, the thing these 2 companies care about most.
And we are going to be comparing them.

When Both of these consoles were released the PS4 was by far the favorite.
Microsoft first initially brought out the regional lock and the thing were you had to sign in daily or your account would be locked.
Also the PS4 was a slimmer and prettier console.
People complained about this and Microsoft changed these boundaries.
This give the Xbox one bad first impressions.
But you know what they say "First impressions count the most"
And this has seem to be proven in this case.

On the other hand the PS4 had a good first reputation.
The TouchPad were you could instantly share your game play
A slim good looking console
No regional locks or log in requirements.
It was the perfect console what everybody wanted.
The only downside was to access online you now had to pay a fee.
This got Sony off to a great start and pre-order sales very high.

Now on to the sales...
The PlayStation 4 has outsold the Xbox One every month this year except for April.
The PS4 may be cheaper but Sony has made more profit overall.
Xbox sales Surprised everybody this April as they sold more.
Here is some quotes from a Sony Spokesperson:
“As we head into E3, we would like to thank gamers for making PS4 the top-selling console and the leader in software sales in the U.S. in May. We are truly humbled by this success and we look forward to sharing what’s next for PS4 at our E3 press conference on June 15. PS4 continues to be the cumulative sales leader in the US and globally with more than 20 million consoles already in the market,”

So the quote must be true then "First impressions count the most"
It has sure been proven in this case.
What do you guys think about this?

Also my opinion in this thread is not biased. I treat and like the PS4 and Xbox One equally! :)
