NA will be closer at the end of this gen but Xbox will still win. |
Even when the X1 was sold with Titanfall at $449, it got outsold by the PS4 by 60k in March. Titanfall was the most hyped game I've ever seen and alas, the game underdelivered that hype leading to the March NPD results we see today. Just relying on Halo and Gears won't save the X1. We've already seen how well that strategy went for the 360 in the second half of its lifecycle. And oh god.... this is going to be an absolutely brutal spring and summer for the X1.

Meanwhile, the PS4 got FF XIV: ARR and Octodad earlier this week and will be getting Daylight, MLB 14: The Show, The Order: 1886, Driveclub, Transistor, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Shadow of the Beast, Oddworld: New N Tasty, The Last of Us Remastered, Uncharted, and Deep Down. That's 13 games right there and that doesn't include the games Sony Bend, Japan Studios, Quantic Dream, Guerrila Games, Santa Monica Studios, and other 1st party studios are working on.
