| Arkaign said: I own two og Xbox consoles and MCC doesn't interest me in the least. Europe is lost, forget about that. Forget dlc, all the multiplats are better on ps4 and people know this by now. Sunset overdrive is a niche title released in the worst possible date and will get crushed by the major titles in sales, Forza will compare poorly to Driveclub, and there is already a forza game out that didn't help. And above all. Xb1 did great on launch, that's where virtually all of their sales have been. 2014 has been a relentless disaster for them. The numbers are too vast to catch them this year. WiiU will have a price cut as well, mark my words. You also have a lot of hardcore gamers that already have a ps4, and many of these people will pick up a U this holiday if the price is right. It will be. |
1.) The X1 is still selling in Europe, and the Wii U has only sold 20% more units than the X1 there despite being release a whole year earlier. Also, there are still some European teritories where the X1 has not released in, and will do so in September right around the time FH2 comes out,which should help sell a good bit of consoles there on release.
2.)Sunset overdrive is an open world 3rd person shooter with zombies, how is that a niche title? Historically, games like that have done verry well sales wise. (dead Island, Dead Rising, ect)
3.) How will Forza Horizon 2 compair poorly to Driveclub? Firstly, they are two verry different games. Secondly, FH2 has 200 cars, a huge open world with 700+ events/challenges to complete that will provide 100+ hours of playtime (according to Playground Games), and a real time wheather and lighting system just like driveclub. Sure DC looks a little better, but it is not open world, so compairing graphics between the two games in not exactly fair, and the difference is not that big to start with.
4.)2014 has not been a "relentless disaster" as you say. Remember Wii U's first year on the market where they sold just 160k units in a whole quarter (3 months)?? That was a disaster. So far this year the X1 has out paced the Wii U's sales globally month after month. Just because the X1 can't match the PS4 (which has broken many sales records) does not mean that it has had a disaster year.
