According to analyst Colin Sebastian at Robert W. Baird Microsoft is starting to catch up to Sony with Xbox One following their adjusted policies post E3, reports Games Industry. Sebastian also suggests that Microsoft will benefit from more units, if we are to believe him as much as 2-3 times the number of consoles for launch.
"Despite losing the headline battle at E3, Microsoft's Xbox One appears to be regaining some momentum, in part due to the used and online policy tweaks. Importantly, our supply chain checks suggest Microsoft may have the benefit of a 2-3x unit advantage at launch compared to Sony's PS4."
The analyst also goes on to rule out the price difference as a key factor for early adopters. It should be noted that some retailers have already stopped taking pre-orders for PS4 as supplies will be limited.
