The Xbox One has fourth quarter on lock. Sony fans will never admit it though.

It has indeed, but it's questionable how much its actually going to matter in the long run, it has quite a gap to bridge just to pull even on monthly sales and while the forth quarter offerings are indeed excellent, i believe wholeheartedly that we'll enter 2016 with the xbox still at least 10m behind overall, probably more.

Its performance through 2016 where all of the major PS4 releases have been pushed to is an issue too since any ground they do pull back this holiday will likely be lost and then some next year.

I don't think he means saleswise, just from a gamer's perspective that xbone has a better line-up for the rest of the year.

Next year xbone has promising games coming out as well like Crackdown 3, Quantum Break, Recore, Halo Wars 2 and Scalebound.


Quantum, Crackdown, Recore are all post 2015...nice try.  X1 has Halo 5, Forza 6, and RotTR (timed).

 

PS4 has Dragon Quest Heros, Persona 5, Disgea 5, Uncharted Collection, Tearaway Unfolded, as well as games from earlier this year in Bloodborne and Until Dawn.  X1 has zero exclusives from earlier this  year  to fall back on and this does make a difference to those who did not already own either one.  Furthermore Uncharted 4 will release as early as March 2016 (confirmed).  If I did not already have both, I would go for PS4 as it has more to offer and is more appealing overall.

 

X1 has some good titles coming out (finally), but to say it blows PS4 away this holiday is laughable.

Tomb Raider is timed...for a year. Not much to downplay there. Those two games alone in Halo and Tomb Raider blow away anything Sony is dropping in fourth quarter in exclusivepopularity.

Asian acting like a cowboy. Classic. Video was pretty well put together too. Better than some jackass screaming at you or a total biased video. 

Just wait for Nintendo to announce a Wii U price drop.  I believe it should go to at least $250 bundle this holiday season.  Should have dropped it to $250 last year and to $200 bundled this holiday season.

Based on your opinion and tastes.  Based on mine it is the other way around.  Halo 5 is an after thought  for me, don't like racers, and I can wait a year for TR if I had to (I don't).  My time will be taken up by Fallout 4, Black Ops III (where my friends play...not thrilled about it but what can you do), Persona 5 and DQH.  Halo 5 IF I have time before Uncharted 4.

 

And if you think there are not many others like me, you are sorily mistaken.  X1 will do well, but it does not have a "better" line up.  Till Quantum Break finally gets here, my X1 will continue to collect dust most of the time.

It's just one guys opinion on Vgchartz (though he owns all of the consoles and i--also am owner of all--agree with him). We can agree it disagree. Nobody is wrong, here.

He was saying it had a better line up when it comes to popularity which is true.

Reading comprehension sure is hard for some.

Have fun playing your musou games I guess. And some remasters/remakes. Such an impressive list... /s

Only with the case of Halo 5.  Racing sim is niche and no one is buying a console for TR.  One big title is not enough to out do everything the PS4 has to offer as it appeals to a wider audience.  Also X1 has no prior 2015 exclusives to fall back on.  Anyone buying the console fresh will also have the option on The Order, Bloodborne, Until Dawn, and the PS Plus edition of Driveclub to consider with major titles coming very early 2016.

 

To say X1 has a more popular line up is narrow minded at best.
