I never claimed that these games will have the same affect as MK8 or COD. I just said that PS4 sales will go up for a short while when its exclusives launch. The PS4 is outselling the X1 in most retailers in the US despite that it has a $50 price disadvantage. X1 taking the US is not set in stone. As seen last year, winning January to (end of) October was more beneficial than winning November & December. What if the PS4 wins November and December, too? Even if not, what if the PS4 only got outsold by 200K for the holiday season? |
I think the reason Xbone is going to win the US and why it's inevitable is because we're seeing a late uptake in people upgrading from last generation on the 360's side. It's starting to look like the PS3 last generation where alot of people wanted one, but waited until the price came down. The Xbone launched at a ridiculous $500.00 price tag. I think we were all thrown off by this and assumed those early PS4 numbers were people jumping ship. I think some of it might have been due to that but now, it's looking to be alot smaller than we anticipated.
There were ALOT of hold overs this generation. Way more than ever before... or atleast in modern times. I think this (2015) is the year we see the majority of them upgrade and I fully expect the Xbone to win the US because of the 360.
