Whoever came out on top is irrelevant, because even a narrow win for XOne is in actuallity their huge loss. 9 months of hype, followed by Titanfall giveaway and a price cut...
My bet is that they expected to ousell PS4 at least by 1.5:1 ratio.


I agree, so close is not good for MS, they had a price drop and their biggest game of the year and it's neck and neck.

Not only that, the X1 doesn't have much going after Titanfall until the holidays. Between now to this holiday season, the PS4 is getting MLB 14, possibly Driveclub if the June 12 release date is correct, and The Last of US remastered edition.

Exactly, all I heard about for months was Titanfall. The only time an X1 was mentioned was in conjunction with Titanfall. MS no doubt poured millions into advertisement, millions into securing it, millions in order to bundle it, millions in order to take the hit on price cuts and this is all they come up with?

The X1 will back to it's 50-60k baseline with little to show and it'll stay there until Halo 5 or an actual price cut. At this point, I'd say it's definitely time to get worried. Yes, they're doing okay in NA, but everywhere else  the thing is practically dead. That is definitely not good for them.

It's crazy how well FIFA 14 PS4 keeps selling

19
FIFA Soccer 14 (PS4)
Electronic Arts, Sports
42,049 1,755,138 20

Outselling the PS3 version weekly quite easily.


I think its fair to say that FIFA on PS4 is going to continually be a game that people pick up with new systems.

FIFA just has that strength now. Constant quality. People know that theyre getting the best football games on the market.

this is quickly turning into a slaughter when it comes to world wide sales. PS4 outselling WiiU nearly 4:1 and outselling XB1 nearly 2:1. i did not expect this. in EU its utter sony domination. neither microsoft or nintendo (obviously) cant be happy with what is going on. PS4 having 60% market share this year isnt something i expected, not even close.

Yea I didn't expect PS to come out so strong. I really wish I could be a fly on the wall during the X1 meetings I want to know what MS is thinking at this point. I got an X1 just last weekend and while Titan Fall was pretty fun it wasn't enough to justify owning the system and I'll be returning it this weekend. I'm fine with my PS4 as it is and I've already got a backlog of games to work through. Rayman,Thief,Infamous and always playing BF4.

What's worse is MS already played their two biggest trump cards. They packed in Titanfall for free + issued price cuts and they're still getting massacred. The future does not look bright for them.

 

I'm still baffled that some people believed TF would carry the X1 till the holidays.
