We'll see with NPD. But knowing that the XB1 is already cheaper than PS4 and is already being outsold in the US for 2 months (soon 3), they'll have to make another move. Maybe throw in a 2nd controller or a year of XBL Gold. |
If MS does that now, I can't imagine the type of deals the company will be making for the holiday season... The XB1 is losing ground to the PS4 in its strongest market, but taking another hit in value is a double-edged sword. While the XB1 sold really well last holiday season, it devalued the console which in turn greatly affected post-Christmas sales. It also doesn't help that the XB1's hard hitters are consolidated to such a small timeframe at the end of the year. This is why I much prefer Sony's all-year-round strategy. The PS4's lineup is much stronger this year and even the summer is well covered. Even though Uncharted 4 is moved to 2016, I bet that Sony has other games that can take its place. And of course, Sony still has the pricecut in its back pocket.
