Of course, given the XBO bundle is $499, I doubt it will push much HW and SW. Especially when gamers can get a PS4 w/ COD for $40 cheaper, which comes with all the benefits of owning a PS4 (more powerful HW, better performing multiplats if they aren't reaching for parity, and Sony's excellent 1st party support.) |
Agreed. COD isn't looked on as an exclusive anymore. The PS4 version was tied/slightly ahead for a while, until the XB1 version got heavily discounted to around half or less the PS4 version's price, which puts it solidly into impulse buy territory for people who hesitate to pay full $60 for COD.
If this one comes with another notable gap in performance/resolution, then it's definitely a done deal. Even if it came out at full parity, I would expect somewhere around 50/50 at best for XB1 version vs PS4, and that's IF they marketed the hell out of it AND did cheaper bundle deals.
After September NPDs drop, I sort of doubt they will stick to $499 for that bundle, and even $399 sounds iffy for the DisKinect.
