The price and the bundles, PS4 should take the sales. But we don't know how crazy either one will go with bundling extra free games.

The lowest both consoles are willing to go on bundles will be $299 a piece on select bundles. This is going to come down to games this year. Appeal is key. People have a point that the COD and Battlefield bundles are up for grabs on the PS4 but no offense (imo)...they are pretty ugly and bland compared to the bundles Microsoft has dropped for Halo and Titanfall (Just saying). They will still sell though, so realistically speaking  my point is Microsoft has games new gamers cant touch on the Playstation and Sony is touting multiplats that both consoles will have. With the Xbox One you will have access  to exclusives and games where as with Sony it will pretty much be the multiplats with some timed exclusive perks.

If they are the same price and it comes down to games, CoD and Star Wars will probably probably carry the day.

Idk but even if they do win Black Friday sony will win the month so no big deal.

they might win BF and maybe the month but I don't think they will win by 400k like last year.

If only people could buy exclusives that weren't recently released.

As for bundles, I'm not sure how anyone could say that Star Wars and Cod bundles don't compare to Fallout and Halo bundles. From the information we have, that is clearly not how things are going. Halo bundle got outsild by the NDC bundle last month.

I hope for good numbers all around. A healthy industry interests me more after the disastrous October NPD.

Why does it matter if they win Black Friday? It matters if they win November NPD and there is no way that's happening.


Why does it matter to November anyways? Do games get better on a system that sells more? Questions over questions...

Because winning NPD actually means you win NPD, there is a monthly ritual about it, that's why?  All the 3 major companies particiate in it by giving statements to the press. Lol, what a pointless question.

It matters because Microsoft has pretty much lost if they lose America for the majority of the gen. The rest of the world is with Sony so they should pretty much salvage what they can of the US sales. Microsoft knows America andis bankig on fourth quarter sales. A good amount of Novembers NPD comes from Black Friday and Cyber Monday FYI.


Ok but if they lose November NPD, you're point about them needing to win US would be pointless because if they lose November NPD, that means they're still losing in the US. 

Hell I remember last year people were saying Microsoft had better a holiday and yet they still lost 2014 together.

Didn't Xbox win over PS last year like 7:1 or something crazy like that? I remember is was something crazy like for every PS3 sold, they sold 9 Xbox 360s on Black Friday (or was that the year before?) With the exclusives and I think even more Backwards Compatibility - so you can bring your games and play the new games on your Xbox One.  Looks like it's set up for a Huge Xbox win, again.

I've only seen Best's Buy's BF deals and they looked really good.  Plus many Halo fans are waiting for Black Friday.

I think Xbox will easily win Black Friday 2015. 



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Yeah, maybe. One thing is for sure: it'll be a tough battle! I don't really know at this point. =o



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
