PS4 need blockbusters shooters to remain competitive in US and aside from 3rd parties, has none and no, Killzone does not count it is not a blockbuster or that popular.

The PS4 is ahead, so it's the X1 that needs to remain competitive (my nitpicking of the English language and order of phrases). Anyway, I don't think the shooter market will be anywhere near as meaningful this time. As long as the PS4 continues to do what it's doing (and taking the multiplatform advantage as often as it does), it won't have to really add much to keep its lead. This, of course, discounts price cuts and a huge game changer (from either side).

That gamechanger is just a year away. Its called Halo 5 and we have Halo MCC this november.

Halo 4, which came out in 2012, just 2 years ago, and  arguably the most poorly received in the series is closing in on 10 million sales, including digital copies.

That shows you the strength of the franchise and its popularity is still going strong.

Halo 4 may have sold a lot of copies, but the reception for it has been awful, & the online community/multiplayer for it has been greatly damaged as a whole by 343i.

People are now going to be cautious about Halo 5 before dropping 400 bones w/tax for the console, $60 w/tax for the game itself, & $60 for online multiplayer just to play it. And a lot of people aren't going to buy a Xbox One for 4 Halo games that most people have already played to death by now.

The Halo franchise is no longer as popular like it used to be; as it's been taking over by other shooters like Destiny, Call of Duty, & Battlefield.
