The success of the Playstation 4 is certainly not short lived, and the big sales have continued in Japan where it was recently launched. The sales in Japan actually beat the whole of the PS3 sales at launch, and that just goes to show how far Sony has come.

The relatively low price for the Playstation 4 compared to the Xbox One has played a part in their launch success, but with the Xbox One now lowering their price it could mean that the competition is set to heat up again.

You literally have to put both the consoles under the microscope to find any differences and it’s fair to say that people who are not ‘hardcore gamers’ are likely to just opt for the cheaper console. Sales have certainly pecked up since Christmas for both of these consoles, and the cheaper prices may now push people from all around the globe to upgrade to new next gen consoles.
