Where does all this XBO faith come from?

It's not the Amazon charts, and it is not coming from social media..... October I understand, but Nov/Dec?


They hope for the best, but what happened last year may not repeat this year, sony is getting ready for the 3rd party + price cut onslaught. That should make predicting Nov and Dec difficult.

Hell, if Microsoft keeps having 200 hundred dollar deals on Xbox One, I dunno. http://www.cowboom.com/deal-of-the-day.cfm

This is the lowest by far I've ever seen the system go for. This is what I talk about with the lengths MS will go through to help retailers clear stock. Would a Sony price cut be enough when MS can liquidate their stock, profits be damned, at anytime?

Sony won last year. People really need to understand that Sony are a global studio and do not give a rat's ass where their consoles sell. They'll just be making sure they don't lose by so much IN THE US.

halo bundle, plummeting faster than a rock towards a black hole. too expensive


Not a surprise.

All halo fans jumped on the pack as soon as it was annonced (some even sell thei Xone to buy this pack), so of course it will drop very fast.

But you will see this pack again before the release of the game.

Sony has AC Syndicate, Mad max, Hitman and Uncharted Collection (UC4beta) too.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

FO4 will still sell more on PS4 even with XBO marketing.... just because.

It'll definitely sell more on the PS4. Much bigger install base.
