Why would x1 win november against the equal pricing and pletora of bundles from ps4

Well if its anything like last year and XBO breaks the console record again for most consoles sold on Black Friday, they should win.  I am sure MS was going to drop the price a bit next month for it anyways. 


This is exactly like last year, except PS4 and XB1 have switched places.

ent">Why do people continue to think something like Halo 5 will not sell hardware?  Why do people honestly think every halo fan on earth already bought an xbox one?

Re-read what I wrote, I didn't say something like Halo 5 will not sell hardware, what I actually said was that Halo as a franchise doesn't move as much hardware as people tend to think it does.

I also did not say that every Halo fan on Earth already bought an XBox One, what I did was point to the history of sales upon the launch of Halo games. There's never been a time where a Halo game has launched and hardware sales have shot up massively because Halo launched.

Halo as a game sells incredibly well, most of the games sell a few million units launch week, but the console hardware sales always account for 5% or less of those sales, meaning 95% or more of the people that bought a Halo game already either owned the platform or were buying the game for someone who already owned the platform.

 

Halo 5 seems to have about the least amount of interest compared to past Halo releases, it's very doubtful that the game will be a massive system sales driver, also the FPS crowd is much larger on PS4, Halo seems to be a franchise on the demise in it's appeal to the market. With COD, Destiny and basically any major FPS being more popular on PS4 than XB1 it's very doubtful that Halo 5 is going to have anywhere near the same kind of effect or more of an effect on hardware sales as the 3rd party bundles Sony has or this recent price cut in the US.

I stand by my comment that PS4 will sell 100K+ more than XB1 in the October NPD, looking at Amazon's charts in the US PS4 was well ahead of XB1 before the price cut for PS4 took effect, looking recently sales have been on the rise for the PS4, with it's sitting higher in the charts on the biggest retailer in America.

 

PS4 will win the October NPD by a huge margin.



Halo will be only 5-6 days.

I go with close to full month PS4 price cut.

i think Xbox one with Halo and price drop will wins again PS4 with price drops, but it will be the same statistically with Xbox One on the edge, or i would say Xbox One will slightly win by ultra small margin.

If you say so...

Anyway I think is gonna be a very epic battle with Ps4 probably winning not by much.

So your certainty is based on the possibility of another 100 drop on bf? Well that really would make it happen, but I don't think they will do it again. Well if they do it will be great for consumers and will kill wiiu
