I can definitely see the X1 continuing to fall now that the Titanfall hype is starting to sizzle out. All Sony needs is stable supply. Then, launch MLB next month, exclusive marketing for Watchdogs in May, Driveclub in the Summer, exclusive marketing for Destiny, and then the Order late 2014. Add to that some hype building by showing off a bit of PSVR at E3 and it's going to be a very tough road for MS this year, especially if all they have is a HD remake, a game from a mediocre developer, and yet another Forza. I very much doubt QB will make it this year, and even if it did, it's not the system selling, buzz making type of game (see Alan Wake). 

Insomniac isn't mediocre, and Sunset Overdrive looks amazing. 

Based on a CGI trailer and their bad track record these past few years? How'd you come to the conclusion? I mean, at least if we'd seen something about then maybe, but we've literally seen nothing. We know more about QB than we do SO (and that's saying something). 

I honestly want to know where the hype for SO is coming from outside it being an Insomniac game exclusive to Xbox. I must be missing something because I swear no one gave a crap about them until they announced Xbox exclusivity (the reaction to Fuse, their two "Ratchet" games, and the constant hate for R3 would have led me believe otherwise). 

 

And regarless, SO isn't a hype building, system selling game. It's good for people who already own X1s, but it won't be moving many systems, it's not going to help MS' future prospects unless it comes with a nice, fat price cut.
