Xbox One Exec Admits PS4 Has "Huge Lead," Not Sure If Microsoft Can Catch Up

Its nice that he's actually be straightforward about the company and its products. You so often get inflated bullshit responses from executives that hearing something honest is refreshing.

I BOUGHT PS4 LAST NOVEMBER AND HAVE JUST BOUGHT X1 THIS SEPTEMBER. BOTH CONSOLES ARE GREAT I THINK. THE BEST GAME SERIES EVER OF ANY GENRE I THINK IS THE GOD OF WAR SERIES OF GAMES (6 ON PS3/GOD OF WAR 3 REDONE ON PS4). ANYBODY PLAYED GOW3 ON PS3 DON'T BOTHER WITH THE PS4 VERSION AS THERE IS HARDLY ANY GRAPHICAL DIFFERENCE WHICH SHOWS HOW MUCH OF THE PS3'S POWER THAT GAME UTILISED. THE UNCHARTED SERIES OF GAMES ARE ALSO AWESOME ON PLAYSTATION. THEN THE BEST SERIES OF GAMES FOR A SHOOTER ON ANY CONSOLE IS THE GEARS OF WAR SERIES WHICH I RATE ABOVE HALO SERIES. XBOX ALSO HAS THE BEST RACING SERIES IN THE FORZAS WHICH IS THE MAIN REASON I GOT AN X1 AS WELL AS FOR GEARS 4 AND HALO 5. ALSO QUANTUM BREAK, RECORE, CRACKDOWN 3 AND SCALEBOUND ARE LOOKING GOOD. EACH CONSOLE HAS IT'S GREAT EXCLUSIVES SO GET EM BOTH IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT. THEY'RE LOADS BETTER VALUE WHEN COMPARED TO PC'S (I.E POWER PER YOUR POUND SPENT). I WAS GOING TO GET CROSS PLATFORM GAMES ON PS4 AS I PREFER IT'S MENU SYSTEM AND IT SEEMS TO INSTALL GAMES FROM DISC QUICKER THAN X1 BUT I'LL NOW BE BUYING THEM ON X1 INSTEAD AS I LIKE THE SLIGHTLY SLIMMER CASES BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY HAVE LOADS MORE SPACE AS I BOUGHT A SEAGATE 2TB EXTERNAL DRIVE BUT THERE AREN'T ANY ON PS4 WHICH IS A SHAME. 500GB OR 1TB ISN'T ENOUGH SPACE WITH THE INCREASING SIZE OF GAMES NOW SO COME ON SONY GET AN OFFICIAL EXTERNAL DRIVE MADE.

testing 1 2 3......

No shame in being 2nd. Let's be honest, the ps4 is selling like hotcakes because of 'muh 1080' COD' and everyone in europe buys fifa for playstation every year since it's inception.

I have an xbox one, and love it. Just keep pumping out those exclusives. We already have some this fall, and some next year, hopefully even more. Plus the little things are nice, like the preview program, try out things, suggest things

The xbox 360 lost so much steam at the end of it's cycle, because it didn't have any exclusives, and all that was pushed was stupid kinect games.

It's good to know we have a person in charge who knows what the gamer wants

I got to give Phil some credit on this one. He was honest. Not just about PS4 outselling Come, but also why. If Microsoft had him leading the march from jump st., the One would've been much farther along. It sucks because he's got a big mess to clean up and I can tell that he's trying..but where Phil falls short is his decision NOT to lock in more third party support and exclusive deals. He's actually against it..(unlike Phil Harrison) and that's what's killing Nintendo right now

The Playstation 4 has a huge lead over the Xbox One!

Microsoft are getting it now I think. They had a product that made sense in North America's upper-middle class households but one that made no sense at all in the UK unless you earned footballer money (most living rooms in the UK are smaller than the living rooms in US trailer parks for example.) UK consumers struggled getting enough space to swing a Wii. As a media centre it was going to struggle since the majority of UK consumers use very different setups. TV and film is swinging the xBones way now, but it is very slow here and the competition knows to get the BBC onside first.

They've let consumers ditch kinect (though I notice not really made the dashboard cope any better without it) and the price point is about right and those were big things for MS to do. Backwards compatibility will feel like a big risk to them on top of all that but sales will shoot up if they get it working and well publicised for Christmas 2015.

Good article in illustrating just how hard MS are working to get things right without losing their original vision entirely. Hope they don't put too much faith in Halo. A new IP is going to be what brings the cool kids in. The oldies just whine about changes. (I include myself in that one.)

clearly ms is full of lies, u said cross chat between 360 and bone could not be done, im guessing the same "ninja engineers" figured out how to do that too PLEASE SPARE US. Kinect couldnt be removed, but that got thrown out the window, and a long list of other back peddling has been done over the last 2 years. thanks for stalling the industry for 2 years and more by seeing what you could get away with and starting so broken that update and patch and the illusion of progression would be amazing, all this should of been done out of the box 2 years ago, i can only imagine where we would be now if you built on the back of the 360 instead of a broken console and giving us promises and hope and hype that each update will unlock potential etc and living in the future LOL

you wanna get back in the race, ger rid of all dlc or leave it on the physical disc sparing us a massive download and get rid of microtransactions and watch how everyone will sit up and listen, until then keep choking of your poor sales and continue not pushing the competition.

I purchased the Xbox One on day one. Loved it and enjoying it today. I purchase the PS4 probably a month or so after they launched. Been enjoying some, I said, some of the exclusives. I would say MLB The Show is the most played.

With that said, I enjoy my Xbox One way more than my PS4. For me, has the better UI and game library. Don't get me wrong, the PS4 have a few good games, but not enough to pull me away from the Xbox One.

I actually have to force myself to play the PS4 just so I wont think it's a waste of money.

I'll buy an x1 sometime when I can justify spending the money but not quite yet cause they are more gamer centric then sony cause their exclusives are more gameplay centric then sony's but I have a Wii U which is this gens most gamer centric platform.

It doesn't matter how much PS4 is selling if you are an Xbox One owner, it only matters the Xbox One is doing well and it has plenty of third party support. The Xbox started slowly but mow it's doing alright, the Exclusives are what really matters and here the situation seem to be very similar to last gen. My fav games on PS3 were Uncharted and the Last of Us and I don't see any new great exclusives to rush buying a PS4 as yet. In the end is what games you prefer., it really doesn't matter who is selling the most.

The fact is Microsoft under Balmer was a horrible mistake, They over engineered the ONE and added an in house SPY "the Kinect" that tracked everything, invading the privacy of all of their customers; and then they had the gall to charged a ridiculous price for being spied on.

When in reality all the fans of the Xbox wanted was a powerful gaming system to enjoy, another mistake was not building in backward compatibility for the investment those customers had already shelled out for in the cost of all the X360 games that were no longer valid; and useless on the ONE.

I've made $76,000 so far this year working online and I'm a full time student. Im using an online business opportunity I heard about and I've made such great money. It's really user friendly and I'm just so happy that I found out about it.

I just came here to read the hate. UNLEASH HELL!!!

Really wouldn't worry about it. As I've said before for 2 years, anyone "betrayed" by the things MS didn't actually do - never did - is pathetic, and wasn't going to buy the console in the first place. MS never lost the trust of gamers.
