First off, I've heard lots of people say that the PS4 is winning cause it has more "value". But I'd like to speak for once. For the whole year so far, Microsoft hasn't pushed out a system seller. Sony has Bloodborne and The order. As for January, the XB1 was the same price for 1/2 the month. But for April, the XB1 has a cheaper price, and both the PS4 and XB1 have the same in terms of software. If the PS4 still wins, I wave the white flag for the year excluding the holiday season. The PS4 has almost nothing, while the XB1 has a mammoth in terms of exclusive software. Plus, if a 299 price cut happens for the XB1, it could hit Sony very hard. If they still lose after that, well then I wave the white flag, and the PS4 wins the US battle. But until then, I play a wait and see game, not a game of fanboyism. Bye.

Bloodborne releases the last week of march, it'll still be giving a boost in April. Ps4 will still win.



"As for January, the XB1 was a higher price for 1/2 the month"

Wat. The Xbone has been cheaper than PS4 since november right?

"The PS4 has almost nothing, while the XB1 has a mammoth in terms of exclusive software"


Uh what are these exclusves?



I doubt it and it doesn't take a fanboy to suggest that the PS4 will win April as well.



I predicted last year that ps4 would win NPD for January-October, unfortunately I'll probably be wrong as I was assuming Halo 5 would launch in November when historically it has launched in september, but I don't expect ps4 to lose an npd before XBO has a major release.

Don't you think its a little too early for MS to do another price cut on the X1? Especially when the system sellers are coming in at the end of the year.

Fixed the higher price thing, and as far as major exclusives, its got Halo, Tomb Raider, Forza, and Fable. Four major exclusives, and so far, Sony has put 0 (major exclusives, E3 will probably change that). So yes the holiday season has a lot of exclusives in store.



nah PS4 will win every month until Sept(Halo 5 come out then right?)



Regardless of whether or not the PS4 has any exclusives launching in April, no. Also BloodBorne and MLB 15 will both help through April.



Jep Persona 5, Disgea, Tearaway Unfolded (since barely anyone played the original) until dawn, Ratchet and Clank are nothing.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar
