I think console sales will be up 50% YOY when the holidays approach.

No. It's only 7% up now Yoy, and it will be down a lot with March month. Probably 10% UNDER last year numbers, because this year, titanfall is not here...or anything else until the end of year.

MMw, the Xone will not pass the 19.5 M mark on the end of year. And if sony do the 300$ price-cut, ps4 will have more than X2 Xone sales.

MS having advertising rights means very little. They had advertising rights to CoD, and Evolve and they still sold tons more o PS4.

And those were shooters, which XB owners love, RPGs aren't as popular with that installbase, I can guarantee that Witcher 3 will sell atleast 3 times as much on PS4 compared to XB1.

Those advertising rights were enough for both games to outsell the PS4 version in the US. And CoD only recieved limited bundling and Evolve recieved no bundling. If MS is smart they'll have a Witcher 3 bundle, because right now they have no good bundle options for the summer. Not saying they will have a Witcher 3 bundle, but they should.

Also, that's not really an accurate statement, certain RPG's are quite popular on Xbox. Fable 2 sold 5m, Fallout 3 sold 5m, Skyrim sold over 8m, Mass Effect 2 sold 3m, Dragon Age: Origins sold 2.5m, KOTOR sold 2.2m. As of now I see no reason to believe that Witcher 3 won't be able to reach the 1.5m prediction in the OP, it's a WRPG just like the other RPG's that have sold well on Xbox in the past, and Witcher 2 sold over 1m (physical + digital) on the 360 despite receiving very little advertising and releasing a year after the PC version instead of at the same time like Witcher 3.


360 installbase is not an accurate representation of XB1's installbase.

Just look at Witcher 3's Amazon rankings, the PS4 version is tracking several hundred ranks ahead of the XB1 version. Or just look at the pre-order charts here on vgchartz, PS4 version has almost twice as many pre-orders. And these are just the US figures, and Witcher is a series that makes majority of it's sales in Europe where PS4 has a HUGE lead in installbase the Witcher 3 sales ratio will be around 5:1 in PS4's favor.

I agree, Xbox One basically has 2015 in the bag in my opinion. This isn't to say that it won't face competition from the PS4, but soft-ware wise Xbox One is just dominating for this year. Rise of the Romb Raider, Halo 5, Forza 6, Gears Collection, etc, etc. Not to mention whatever they could announce at E3 such as Rare's new game, whoever is making a new Battletoads, and whatever other exclusives they could have pulled off.


I've been hearing about this MS software domination myth since the start of this generation, but every time I look at the facts it seems PS4 has more better rated and better selling exclusives.

I'm not talking about since the start of the generation, i'm only talking about 2015. Halo 5 was already the big system seller Microsoft needed but combined with ROTTR and Forza 6 that increase in sales will just get even bigger, not even to mention once again the games they might announce at E3 such as Gears Collection, etc. 

PS4 might have more highly rated exclusives overall, but for 2015 Microsoft looks like it will be dominating software wise unless both Sony and Nintendo can announce something big in replacement for Uncharted 4 and Zelda U being delayed.

<.< I hate to be that guy....

but yeah I noticed the double ect,ect and thought... if it has so many great games, why not drop some actual names there instead of the ect's.

 

Honestly this"PS4 has no games", "XB1 software domination" is just opinions when its a single person/few people.

But when you look at metacrits and sales, these things are no longer opinions.

 

It looks like the ps4 has more games, higher rated games, and higher sales of games.

How that translates into XB game domination I have no idea.

FFX is the first of the bad FF, everybody knows that.  you can still love it. 
its just not as good as the FF games before. 

No, it's just your opinion. When the "first bad FF game" topic gets brought up, people usually pick X-2. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean that  "everybody" thought so.


X-2 is just a spinoff, we have seen bad spinoffs before...    dont get me wrong, FFX isnt a bad game, its just not as good as the FF games before(but still better than everything they named FF later)

Such ignorance, a quick google search shows sony has a far betetr more diverse lineup in 2015:

 

The order

Bloodborne

Persona

MLB 15

FFXHD

Rime

Ratchet and Clank

TEarway

Deep Down

Tomorrows children

Y'S

Disgaea

Until Dawn

 

This is before TGS, GAmescom and e3.

 

Sorry but the x1 has 100 less games and ps4 has more this year, and more will be announced. PS4 does not need a big AAA exclusive to sell, but it already has them. PS4 will easily outsell and dominate in Hardware and software sales.

 

People also act like third party games are irrelevant lol, they are the most important and move more consoles then any exclusives.

So I guess it doesn't matter if the games are bad, just as long as there are more of them? Or at least that's what it seems by your logic. As long as there are more games, even if some of them are bad, it doesn't matter because there is more? Also that's not me calling any of the games you listed bad, but that is the equivalent of what you are saying.

Also your account was just made to day, your first post is calling somebody ignorant, and it was where the other flaming weazel alt got banned. I would have thought you would try to hide your alternate accounts more carefully this time.



Sony will definitely have a few more games announced for the holidays and a possible price - cut.
