Another one of those.

Let's hear your reason how it is possible for the X1 to sell less than its launch month while still having 4 months to go in more countries, at a lower price, with a lot more games and Destiny no less.

Many threats have discussed this before.

1) the X1 has lost a lot of popularity, even the wii u is beating it after a pricecut.

2) The x1 is available in all thouse markets already at probably a cheaper price then the offiial one.

3) All thouse markets are sony land.

4) The ps4 and x1 are fighting for the same audience so the better the ps4 does the worse the x1 will do. Including that the PS4 is more powerfull at the same price so its dificult to choose the x1.

5) They both require an online fee, and 90% of the games are on both so it will be hard for the x1 to be a secondary console.

6) The ps4 has anounced a lot more exclusive in the future and has more now and its expected to always deliver more and better. Like Tomb Raider all they do is purchase exclusivity, wich will be dificult going foward with the intall base so low.

7) Shareplay will be huge. Something smilar was inmediatly shot down last year for the x1 wih means just how well receive anythng from sony is. Even thou the PS4 is doing it way better.

There are many more reasons but looking into the future, I can see the ps4 growing quicker and the x1 droping the baseline. By next year I expect the baseline to be like 30k, wore then the wii u.

1) The X1 is a lot more popular than when it was launched. Even though its current base is low, it's still higher than what it was before

2) Mainstream doesn't import

3) will still sell a number of consoles even if it's 10:1 for Sony in those countries

4) Again, not a mainstream concern. If it were the console would sell 0.

5) Secondary consoles are also not mainstream. But you're still completely missing the point of a secondary console. It doesn matter if it plays the same games. What matteras are the exclusives. X1 has some big ones and especially those who jumped from 360 to PS4 will want to get in on that. Not that secondary consoles would make up much.

6) Doesn't matter. People will play the games they want and don't care how they are acquired. X1 has high profile exclusives and it will be bought by people who want them, no matter how many exclusive the competitor has.

7) Lol, no it won't^^ And I doubt the mainstream consumer will even be aware of it if Sony doesn't run a big ad campign to support it.

 

X1 will not break sales records this year but it sure as hell will easily sell more than 3m consoles.

Want to make a bet? Winner gets 1 month sig control.

To all of the avove combined, the reason you dont see it yet is because the core fans are probably the ones buying the consoles now, wich is why we saw such a big drop in numbers and now reality is setting in.

I am inclined to take that bet, but I do realise that the odds are againts me since my numbers are bend around my predictions. Before I accept, what are the parameter?
