Microsoft and Quantum Breaks Sales beating record?

Microsoft have been willy waving regarding sales of the exclusive title Quantum Break but sales data doesn't seam to add up. Vgc sales data shows a very poor first weeks global sales figure of just 267,147 with the US accounting for 146,403 with the rest of the world taking the rest. X one sales didn't jump at all with just 93,109 worldwide, Playstation 4 dominated with 310,417 in the same time period. This was the big hitter of exclusives but sales just don't stack up. Ratchet and Clack has sold over 190,000 in the US in its first week while just 43,000 QB were sold.

Why Playstation 4 is out selling the XBone by a huge margin

Playstation 4 has now sold over 7 Million units, that's sold . It's hard to work out but some Internet claims are that the XBone has sold under 4 Million. Price has nothing to do with it as MS have slashed the price and include a free game to match the PS4 price and in fact with it including the camera it's arguably better value. Many UK retailers have gone further to slash the price as consoles were piling up. So why is it piling up on retail shelves? For me it's fast become the child in the corner that other kids poke fun at. From the rushed first showing to try and counter the calm, cool launching of the PS4 in February 2013 to the constant,"It looks better on PlayStation 4". The huge U-turn the doesn't need going over again. Fact is, Playstation 4 is fast becoming the console of this generation. Titanfall was the game that would do it for MS, no . The much hyped FPS couldn't boost sales even in it's home nation with the PS4 outselling it...
