I have no clue what the PS4/XB1/WiiU will be at at the end of this year but I think its safe to say who is winning the year at least.

But onto to 2015 what are you guys predictions? Here is my take on 2015

 

  • MS will be forced to drop the price of the XB1 again but this time to $299. Sony will follow suit and nintendo will drop their price to $199.
  • PS4 sales will be at least 1.5 times better than whatever they are in 2014. New price coupled with FF15, MGS5:PP, Persona 5 (basically japan will become relevant again).
  • Project Morpheus will be released in some limited capacity.
  • We will see an XB1 redesign.
  • This may sound crazy, but its possible that next year the XB1 will sell even less than it did this year. Call it a hunch..... but my reasoning is cause of the momentum PS4 will build going into the year with Bloodborne and the order. Two AAA games in the first 3 months of the year and nothing from MS.
  • In japan, $299 PS4 may either be released and/or bundled with FF15. Sony needs to do something like this in Japan and they know it.
  • Halo 5 will not do wonders for MS. My reasoning is that I believe that majority of the people that have an XB1 now had a 360 last gen. That MS is not getting "new" customers with the XB1 but rather keeping some of their loyalist. Chances are that by the time Halo 5 gets here, majority of the people that would or could have bought an XB1 for it would already have one.
  • Next year will be the best sales year for the WiiU in the 8th gen.

 


Just like to coment on a few of your predictions...

1.)  No way MS drops the price that steep, they would be losing too much money, and just annoy investors.  Also, Sony aren't really in a position where they need to worry about Xbox so much, and considering that PS4 is selling so well at $400, and that sony is losing money, they will not care to drop the price any, and especially not $100.  Also...what do you mean price drop 'again'?

2.)  I could see this happening throughtout the first half of the year, but not for the total years sales.  Xbox One has some much bigger exclusives comming next year than this one.  Just think, next year you will have Quantum Break -> Forza 6 -> Rise of the Tomb Raider -> Halo 5 Gaurdians.  And Fable will be mixed in there somewhere maybe late spring/summer, and there is also the possibility of a Gears of War colection.

Halo will be huge for US and UK (already have 2 friends that are waiting for H5 to make the jump), but the other games like Tomb Raider, Quantum Break, and Forza 5 are games that could do quite will in Europe as well.  So I don't think they will sell less...I think they will be up year on year by about 20%.

3.)  Your joking right???  Well, I think it depends on how good the beta goes, and if they have a good E3 showing.  I personally though think it will move a ton of units.  

Your right about Halo MCC hurting them, but I think a lot of people are still going to wait simply because of the cost.  Like I mentioned earlier, I know a lot of people who are still waiting for Halo 5....

 

anyways, few disagreeances aside, you have some nice predictions in there!
