Funny all these threads with people saying xbox is doomed. However PS3 was doing horrible during the first 8 months, they cut price and came back. So all the Chest pounding is funny, people have very short memories.

XBox One can come back and be very successful. I think they need to price match personally but that's me. I think they will do so in fall of this year if sales don't pick up.

PS3 cut price 8 months after release or in July of 2007. Xbox One is in better shape then the ps3 if you align the launch.

Number for March 3rd 2007

DS 452,903 (-10%) 38,390,948
Wii 200,263 (-14%) 5,109,095
PSP 175,399 (-17%) 21,194,796
X360 95,476 (-12%) 9,022,392
PS3 80,401 (+61%) 1,953,123
Total 1,004,442(-9%)  

XBox at it's current state is 2.5 million ahead, Yet we get non-stop DOOM threads, chest pounding and conversation about the war is over. This war has just begun my friends.

Sony proved that cutting price and pushing the system in new ways, not only turned them around but got them back in the race. Same will happen with Xbox, they have the money and room to do so. Sony PS3 at launch was losing money, XBox One is making money at 500$. If they cut price in the fall, they will lose for only a short period of time. Most will be made back in XBOX live account memberships or games. So if XBox is desperate, so is Sony.

No clear winner until years from now.


Yet anotehr different scenario, Sony had brand power that MS just DID NOT have and outside of US still doesn't have now. That is more of the reason the price cuts and marketing worked better for them. This generation is starting off very differently from last generation. I agree though the generation has just started.

Also this thread is not saying the XB1 is doomed it is saying that why is Titanfall WAY above Infamous: SS in pre-orders if the XB1 is doomed. SO the OP is pretty much on teh same page as you. And yes Sony was indeed erspearte back then THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT. That's why the cut the price so fast like they did. And when they did they exlodede. Now aligned launched the PS3 was indeed tracking about the 360 so that is something else that has to be taken into account.

You keep comparing the two but they are COMPLETELY different in all aspects. Just chill man let the people think what they want for now. I personally think the XB1 will do fine, while I do not think it will catch the PS4 it is FAR from doomed.
