The new bunch of sales data of gaming console of current
generation is in, and as expected, the PlayStation 4 still leads the Xbox One
in global shipments. However, Microsoft Xbox One is expected to catch it up.
Life time sales data shows that the PS4 firmly in the lead
with 20 million shipments worldwide. The Xbox One follows with between 11 and
13 million shipments, and the Wii U in third place with 9.3 million shipments
despite launching a year earlier.
While Sony has shipped roughly 66% more current-gen consoles
than Microsoft in total, the Xbox One is catching up in recent quarters.
Between October and December 2014, the critical holiday period, Sony shipped
6.4 million PS4s to Microsoft's 4.5-5.5 million Xbox Ones. Through this time
period, the PS4 had a much narrower lead of around 30%.
Increased shipments and sales for Microsoft's console line
up pretty well with decisions to cut its price. The Xbox One's price
temporarily decreased to $349 through the 2014 holiday season, and again in
January in an ongoing promotion. The previous price of the entry-level Xbox One
SKU was identical to the current price of the PlayStation 4, at $399.
Sony has no plans to drop the price of their console to
match the Xbox One, insisting that their $50 more expensive console is still
the preferred choice of buyers and gamers. And they'd generally be right: the
PS4 commands around 47% of the current-gen console market, with the Xbox One on
around 31% and the Wii U trailing with a 22% share.
