hhhmmm...I'm betting PS4. The 3DS has seen a rather sharp decline in sales and the Xbox One is going to have a really hard time being competitive outside of the holidays.


Not really, depends on what Microsoft do. Their exclusives tend to be favoured by US audiences more than Sony's.


this is why sunset overdrive, which got great reviews, is outselling littlebigplanet 3 big time, which got mediocre ones.

wait, wha? only 100k? losing by a lot ww? well i'm sure forza horizon 2, with its great reviews, is beating driveclub, with its near unplayability? oh no? they're tied, you say? but then there's the multiplats, xbox one advance warfare is surely outselling ps4... you mean it's not (winning in us barely, losing big time worldwide)? but wait! what about assassin's creed unity, that was bundled with every xbox one sold this holiday, practically, at $50 less than the ps4... oh, well, at least that's winning. in the us.


Sunset Overdrive got an 80 on metacritic, LBP3 got 79 on metacritic....

 

When Seece says "their exclusives", he means the BIG exclusives like Halo and Gears of War. Not tiny exclusives like Sunset Overdrive.

 

Now, Seece, I'll agree with you that MS' holiday lineup is stronger for the US, although I think Uncharted is only getting bigger in the US, of course certainly it has a looong way to go before it gets bigger than Halo (probably won't happen ever), BUT I think the PS4 will win 2015, not by a big margin though, 1 million or so tops, and in the end I think the PS4 will also be the first to reach 20m, but the XBO will no doubt be far behind. But as you say, we really have no idea what MS and Sony decide to do troughout the gen, and if MS continue to be really aggressive while Sony are complacent, then they'll easily take US.
