Also, Forza will be nothing.
We talk about NPD, so US, and we all know how crappy sell the R games... Forza will be huge in UK.


XB1 has a lot of nice titles this fall. But with the exception of Halo none of them will move consoles in any discernable way. That said all.of those exclusives are going to get buried by MGS5, CoD, FO4, Star Wars, and AC

Yeah, I agree. Forza and Tomb Raider aren't gonna be system sellers but I think Halo will be enough to make X1 sell very well.

The gap won't be erased this time during these holidays. People forgot the massive price drops that the X1 had to undergo to outsell the PS4. From $500 to $350 + a game. Will it be down to $200 + 2 games this time around?

It will probably go down to $299 but no free game. And maybe a $349 Halo 5 bundle.

It better be lower than the PS4. 

If PS4 achieves price parity, it's going to be a slaughter.

Yeah that's true. X1 has to have a $50 price advantage at all times in order to compete.

$500 to $350 didn't happen all at once. $500 to $400 was in June with the removal of Kinect which XB1 has beaten already and $400 to $350 happened in November. Which XB1 can beat again with another temp price cut and Halo 5 bundles.

Ya, even if Halo is not quite the juggernaught it was back when Halo 3 came out and moved a ton of consoles it is the best system seller either console has as an exclusive this fall.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

Well, do you have better monthly numbers than what I have, or just the LTD sales? There's a discrepancy somewhere in the monthly figures.

I don't have better numbers before Jun 2014 :( only Jan-Jun combined and your numbers shows a 15k difference.

And for Black Friday, the X1 was going for $329 with 2 games (Target had it at $329 + 2 games + a $50 gift card).

No, just Xbox. They constantly try desperately to force the system into consumers homes. No one actually wants it but the deals are ridiculous. E3 lol. Games lol.
