Facts:

-Xbox One is beating the PS4 in the UK right now forcing Sony to cut the price of their console.

-Xbox One had a successful launch in China and looking to have 100k+ opening week.

-Xbox One will have more than 15K opening week in Russia

-Forza horizons is a great game!

 

Speculation:

-Sony had their biggest game come out already (Destiny even though its on Xbox One), while Microsoft still has Forza, Sunset Overdrive bundle, Call of Duty Bundle, Assassins creed unity marketing, and Halo! sony didnt have there biggest games yet wait till gta5, uncharted, GT and NDs next game as well as other acclimated sony only games like god of war and none of those games will help sell HW and you should make a thread about COD AW selling more on XB1 if you so confiedent

-The gap in the USA isn't that big and still can go either way. lol XB1 aint gonna pass it ever in US its a done deal homie still hasnt won a NPD and none of the big PS exclusives launched PS4 is still selling like hot cakes at launch price!

-Despite the PS4 bundle the Xbox One is still close to PS4 in USA despite the madden bundle ps4 still outsold it in aug. SW and HW

-Xbox One could pull ahead of PS4 if Microsoft cuts the price of Xbox One by 50 dollars again! another price cut, 2 in EU and one in US and it still not a yr old what will happen when sony cuts

-Microsoft now owns minecraft so maybe the only physical release will be on Xbox One

-Microsoft Advertises better

Kinect will boost sales (even if it may be small) lol

 

You heard it here first homies, Xbox One will pull similar numbers to PS4 this holiday! I think the ratio PS4 to Xbox One will be 1.2:1

1.2:1 why not 1:1? PS4 outsold it 1.6:1 in US the whole yr and they had supply issues the first half, the ratio usually grows during the holiday season for the "it" console and this gen the it console is the PS4, dont think the ratio will be 1.2:1 try 1.5:1 or greater homie

So after dropping the subject claiming it was clear X1 had no way to fight PS4 you just needed a rumour of a one week of sales being slightly ahead to go back? kudos.

You think losing for a week is "forcing" them to drop the price?



@OP:

Probable enough in BF week in USA and WW, not unlikely in USA for the whole Xmas period, a lot less likely the whole Xmas period WW.

Much more likely that weak Euro forced them to do it. UK price was already inflated before, with a weaker Euro UK sales could have been seriously damaged by increased import.

Argos is a large retailer in the UK, but it isn't a walk around and browse store. Its like Walmart with an ordering book and a giant warehouse. Quite popular for discount good quality items (like walmart)


Argos is NOTHING like walmart. 

Argos is just a catalogue shop, likes to sell things on credit to its customers. It is not the worlds largest super store chain.

No. No it can't.

This ends the thread, yes?
