Going Global showcases entrepreneurs taking their businesses around the
world, tackling issues like business strategy, marketing and
international logistics.
(CNN) -- It's the battle of the tech titans.
No, not Apple versus Samsung. Sony has gone head-to-head with Microsoft
after releasing their next-generation gaming platforms for the holiday
shopping season.
And according to a recent sales report, Sony's PlayStation4 seems to have won the first round of the battle.
The
PS4 sold 1.25 million units in the United States during November, while
the Xbox One sold 750,000, said Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush
Morgan, in a recent note to investors.
Console wars: PS4 vs Xbox One
Can Maggie Lake handle the Xbox One? PlayStation 4 launch crucial for
Sony Microsoft aims high with Xbox One
As for global sales, the
Japanese manufacturer announced they had sold more than 2.1 million PS4
units worldwide at the beginning of December. Microsoft say they sold
over 2 million systems.
With the XBox One starting at $499, and the
PS4 at $399, Pachter says the the $100 price difference is responsible
for Sony's success: "The reason Sony beats Microsoft is solely the
price. Microsoft loses the next generation unless they cut price."
In at the starting line
From the start, it was far from clear which console would reign over the world of gaming.
"These
are two systems that are well-balanced to keep the furious battle
between Xbox and PlayStation going for the next decade ... which can
only be good for gamers everywhere," says David Hutchinson, chief video
games writer for The Times of London.
The tech landscape has
transformed drastically since the last time these two electronics giants
went head to head with the Xbox 360 in 2005 and the PlayStation 3 in
2007. Back then, smartphones and tablet devices didn't even exist.
While
PS4 is being touted as the perfect machine for social media lovers --
offering games that players can share easily with friends -- Xbox One is
said to be ideal for those after a multimedia machine that can
multitask and switch between games, movies, music and applications
quickly and seamlessly.
"The PlayStation 4 has been set as more of a
games machine versus the Xbox One's aim to be the multimedia
entertainment center at the heart of your living room ... Both systems
are essentially PCs in a console shell," explains Hutchinson.
The two systems have everything from motion tracking and facial recognition to cameras and redesigned controllers.
What's
more, the Xbox One can not only be plugged into your cable box for
on-demand TV and movies, but can also be personalized to a user's
interests running a series of apps and programs, including Skype,
NetFlix and LoveFilm.
