Remember that MS isn't shy to cut the price for Christmas. $249 Xbone standing next to a Halo 5?

I keep forgetting that Xbox is Microsoft's charity for gamers. If it gets to that, there is no hope of turning a profit. Stockholders aren't going to put up with that.


People keep saying that, yet MS does what it does. They may view this Christmas as their best chance of turning the tides of this generation in NA. After what they did last Christmas I don't think they plan on sitting on their butts just watching what's gonna happen. They will be very, very active. Their both competitors already failed this year, they'd be foolish not to capitalize with full brutality.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

From what we know...

Forza/Halo/QB/TR vs. R&C vs. Yoshi/XCX

Anything big I'm missing on PS4? Looking like an easy win for MS in games if we're honest (and if nothing is delayed on one).


Ratchet & Clank alone beats everything MS has combined (PS4 has Until Dawn, but I'mm not sure if that's holiday)

Wow, $249.99 and $199.99 Xbones being thrown out there by users. That's pretty funny. People do realize that's the same price as X360 right?

PS4 still has the overall superior lineup of the 8th gen consoles

PS4 is at 7.87 in NA. Xbone is at 7.14 in NA. Yes, I do believe Halo 5 will be enough to take over NA and from there on just keep on running. Remember that MS isn't shy to cut the price for Christmas. $249 Xbone standing next to a Halo 5? How is Sony going to compete with that? I'm European, so can't truely judge the Halo 5 effect, but I get the impression that the craze it causes can only be matched by GT when it comes to Sony's games. It is hard for me to imagine how Sony could turn people's attention away from Xbone this Christmas. Xbone is going to be the console to get this year, MS will make damn sure about that.


PS4 will be more than 1 million ahead of X1 in North America before the holiday season. I really don't think that Halo 5 can somehow close the gap in such a short timespan. Such a thing is unheard of. PS4 dominates the region without even officially having a price cut while X1 has had every sort of deal yet still manages to come up short. The fact that its cheaper now and still selling worse just proves that it can't even compete with PS4 on even ground, let alone cheaper ground. Microsoft have to compete on the biggest handicap to even have a chance to truly  dominate, and that's only for a short while. X1 may get a big boost in the holiday season, but that won't be enough to nullify the PS4's lead for this entire year or the next year or the year after that and so on.

Not to mention that software sales in NA are greater for PS4 than on X1 and the gap will only grow

I cant tell if your joking or not.  Just to be safe i guess I'll ask the question. Are you serious and if so how many Xones do you think Halo 5 will sell?

Please put down the Halo Kool Aid

Couple things: i believe that Halo MCC was made to one get cash but two and more importantly was to get those Halo lovers that are on the fence about getting a Xone to jump in early. So in actuality Xone has already seen its Halo 5 console sales already happen to some extent. The othe thing is like the previous posters have said....we have no idea what sony is bringing for the holidays so statements like na is micros is very silly.

To your point about a $249 console.... great idea. lets take our most anticipated game and give it away for free smh. Ideas like that sink companies.

I would say that a $300 PS4 with an unexpected game dropping during the holidays will keep sony in the lead in NA.

 

Dont get me wrong...Halo 5 will sell like hot cakes but that doesnt mean the console will sell one for one



Shackkobe on 28 March 2015

Very likely.
But Sony have been very quiet...and there may be a few surprises at E3


Azuren on 28 March 2015

We're only 1/3 through the year and people are claiming winners for the holiday season? Before E3? Before TGS?

Lol
