| Mummelmann said: Always believed it will, it's not guaranteed but I still see it as quite likely, people have been underestimating the One ever since new year's, it has shown that it is an actual saleable product underneath the price tag and ridiculous mandatory Kinect, with a sure-fire price cut in Q4 (the way I see it) and some more big games; it could do quite well for itself. Look at what Titanfall did almost on its own, there is obviously a market for it, whereas the Wii U has proven a challenge to sell even alongside system selling software and a price cut. If it doesn't catch it in 2014, it sure won't be far into 2015 before it does. |
This, and this is fundamentally the difference between WiiU and XB1 that some people can't get their head around. XB1 has a HUGE userbase of people to appeal to, WiiU does not. There are 100m+ PS360 users yet to upgrade, yes a lot of them will go PS4, but it still leaves a huge chunk for XB1. And as the poster above said, 4m units at $500 against the PS4 which is cheaper and generally has nothing but positive press, it's amazing. Imagine what it would have done if it had launched alongside WiiU instead?
