if ps4 gets the call of duty marketing deal with activision (it's been rumored, and kind of makes sense) then i can see the ps4 sales being much higher


It doesn't make sense business wise imo because Xbox One is going to be the market leader in the US and that's where COD makes most of it's sales. That, and XBL has and always will be the more stable network (PS4 owner here, so don't go there) which is pretty important for a game that is basically online only these days.

Oh, and those MS pockets are as deep as it gets.

eh i don't think xbox one will lead the market in the united states


It's winning every week right now which is, wow. Price cut or not... that shouldn't be happening and I look like an idiot because I said it wouldn't happen. A console being fifty dollars cheaper shouldn't be able to do what it did if demand wasn't there. The original Xbox was cheaper than the PS2 and so was the Gamecube... it did nothing. 

When I look at COD numbers for AW on the 360 and see nearly idientical numbers to Xbone, that tells me there's a bunch of US Xbox fans just waiting to make the jump and if I know anything about the average US consumer (and I like to think I do), those are going to translate to Xbone sales. 

I think the 'Bone is going to win the US and the PS4, WW. It's sad for us that had hoped MS would get a dose of medicine for that always online, no used game BS, but hey... you can't win them all.


To be fair, it was not solely a $50 price cut. Microsoft officially shaved $50 off and added a plethora of games at no charge. Yes Sony had the GTAV/TLOU bundle but when you compare the actual value and number of games, the X1 bundles were a better deal. Some Microsoft bundles came with like 4-5 games, a $50 gift card etc. It was not simply $50 off. I do applaude MS for being pro-active about trying to get their console out there(the gamers benefit by saving money) unlike Nintendo who seem to be content with milking their existing fanbase with no bundles, not dropping the RRP of year+ old games etc. Dollar per value wise, you would be paying less for the X1 itself than you would a Wii U when you factor in the value of the X1 games in the bundle. Microsoft panicked but they did the only thing they could and it seems to be working.
