Forums - Sales Discussion - PS4 Price Cut vs. Halo 5 Bundle

if the bone was $300 with halo i'd say ps4 would win without breaking a sweat, but if the bone is $250, then ps4 might have some trouble outselling it.

Halo 5 would have it in the bag in the NA market. Of course this could change if Halo 5 is panned critically and has major multiplayer issues.



Current gaming platforms - Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, New 3DS, PC

It depends on the price cut, £50 might sway some extra sales, IF Sony cold get it to say £275 in the UK and equivalent elsewhere it would help them dominate to a crazy extent this gen. Maybe even a 70% market share. Unlike the previous PS3 where price cuts also came with lost features of the system or redesigns that by the end made the unit look cheap and nasty.

There's nothing on the PS4 that they could take out, of course they may redesign the casing again for a slimmer model in the future ,but i feel if the quality in the build is not there then it may harm it. I bought my PS3' consoles second hand so i could get the original design fat models at a decent price.

Microsoft has already cut the price in the UK of the XBOX One non kinect version down to £299. What's there are current offers for preorder of a Xbox One with Witcher 3 and Batman Arkham Knight for that very price available online. So when Halo 5 launches i would expect to see £299 deals with Halo 5 included. In the UK a bundle like that would shift a lot of consoles.

In the UK more people are coming round to the XBOX one , for me Xbox would win the NPD that week ,the month may be harder as right now the XBOX one deals are very good here in UK, many will bite the bullet early who may have waited for Halo 5 to releases. Seeing how the USA is going though i reckon XBOX ONE would rule in the USA.

PS4 at $299 would easy dominate everything, BF, NOV and DEC NPD, the Halo5 Week;   Sony will never cut so much the price, they do not need; maybe $349 !

If Halo 5 comes pretty close to that Gamespot trailer and appear to deliver the goods, I can easily say X1 Bundle. There are a lot of Halo fans that have purchase a PS4. One thing that would make those guys get an X1 is a great Halo. Next you have the cheap price and it would be a win for MS.

On another note, I just do not see Sony price cutting 100 bucks or even 50. They will bundle something for the Holidays but that's pretty much it. PS4 still selling like game busters and it just seem silly to cut the kind of profits they are getting just to increase marketshare. Right now momentum and solid games is moving PS4 units without any extra effort and Sony really do not have to cut their margins.



We are not really talking about Ps4 price vs Halo bundle but more about a ps4 price cut VS Halo bundle + price cut.

If it was just a Halo bundle I would say that Ps4 would win (in USA) with a 100$ but not against a price cut + Halo.



I personally believe Halo 5 will have a huge impact on X1 sales.

Halo is a huge franchise and a system seller.

Also Xbox is known as having a higher game attachment rate than the PS4.
