2014, PS4 sales lead Xbox One

Last year, PS4 achieved a cumulative sales of 18.5 million units, leading rival Xbox One at least 8 million units-the last time Microsoft officially announced the number of Xbox One is just over 10 million units.

When PS4 broke through 10 million in the middle of last year, Tian Xiuping joked that he did not know why PS4 would have made such a sale. But it is not by luck or by chance that the magazine writer Paul Tassi personally resolves the phenomenon behind the PS4 global sales of 18.5 million units, the Forbes magazine.

First of all, PS4 's exclusive game was a masterpiece. "Notorious: Illegitimate child", "Kill Zone: Shadow Fall" and "last Survivor" of the HD plate and other first-line brand games have a high appeal. And in the Cross-platform game aspect PS4 performance has the superiority, for example, "4", "Dragon Age: Trial", "Call of Duty: Advanced War", "Destiny", "Middle-earth: Shadow Mordor" and "return to the German headquarters: New Order", PS4 version is almost the player "default" preferred version.

Compared to rivals, the two are positioned differently on sale, with the Kinect one price more expensive, the main home entertainment, and PS4 more single-minded. Is born for the game, the result is the price is lower, the performance is more powerful PS4 grabbed the opportunity. Although Microsoft later achieved significant results by removing the Kinect and binding games to the Xbox One host, it narrowed the gap to PS4. But after the start of the gap, Microsoft can only wait for Sony to make a mistake to be able to catch up. In the coming 2015, both sides have a large number of chips, including the exclusive game of the ring, both sides have several can be the name of trump card, may be promised a variety of services will come, but for a game, player selection is always the most direct.

At least Microsoft's performance is still generous, like PS4, a breakthrough, such as several important time points, the spokesman also through Twitter to congratulate Sony. "An amazing number", Sony also said, "No matter what the players stand, at least on both sides of the obvious will not be impolite."
