Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Prediction: Microsoft will win Black Friday (again)

 

Who do you think will win Black Friday 2015?

Xbox One 124 26.78%
 
PS4 290 62.63%
 
LOL....Wii U 49 10.58%
 
Total:463

Microsoft usually wins Black Friday because they have more means (AKA money) to discount hardware pretty well. I predict Microsoft. Especially if they discount the Xbox One Tomb Raider or Fallout 4 bundles. Why pick up PS4 for COD when you can get two games in one bundle?

One second, fallout is weaker franchise than Battlefront? Are you sure than right now Fallout can be described as "weaker"?

I think that Fallout is right now a huge, very very big franchise. It's like the GTA of WRPG.

Depends on if that user is really comparing the two franchises as a whole (in which case Fallout craps on Battlefront from great heights), or just comparing the new Battlefront versus Fallout 4.

If it's just those two games, then even though I think Battlefront is a pretty average game in all regards, even below average in some areas, it will benefit mightily from the Star Wars license being plastered on everything. Combine that with the release of EPISODE 7 OMG OMG and I think it will outsell Fallout 4.



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.



After the Halo 5 sales disappointment I think PS4 will beat Xbox One at black friday.



I see a lot of people underestimate the length MS might be willing to go to just to win Black Friday. They already have bundle that comes with Halo for free as incentive. If we are to believe vgchartz US number, MS didn't win october thanks to the preordered bundles, but most likely during the week where Halo 5 was release. And you guys know what was going on that week? $400 Kinect bundle, which was the highest consoles charted on amazon that week. In walmart buy Xbox One and choose free game, if choosing Halo 5 will only pay $10. During that Halo 5 week release I was like: But Halo 5 just released, why so many deals and giving away free games?
That just show the length MS is willing to go just to "win".

They may win, but it'll be closer. Sony did cut prices this time, have a lot of bundles, and has the special COD theme (which I don't really see as a plus. That console looks like crap : X ) and most importantly, the force... (Star Wars). Sony could give MS a run for its money.

The Xbox brand looks to be pretty strong tho in the US. So yeah, it'll be close... o:

I Know that a movie is coming this holiday, but movies are movies, and games are games. There's hype for the movies, but that can translate in super huge sales, or not. I think you are overestimating the movie effect, I thing SW Battlefront is gonna sell on par with past sequels of the same franchise, moderately higher at best, it depends on metacritic.

Amazon Best Seller in Videogames (Top 100):

#4 - Star Wars Standard (Ps4).

#6 - Star Wars Standard (X1).

#7 - Star Wars Deluxe Edition (X1).

#10 - Ps4 Star Wars LE.

What do you think?

In contrast:

#18 - Halo 5 (X1).

#54 - Rise of the Tomb Raider (X1).

An then Amazon is only one retailer, this topic is about BF, and even on Amazon:

Amazon Best Seller in Videogames (Top 100):

#1 - Fallout (Ps4).

#5 - Fallout (XOne).

No, Fallout is not the weaker franchise, with or without a holiday SW film. I'll bet in the end Fallout is gonna sell much better than Battlefront.
