| microspot said: both will be unter ps4 sold in 15.4 million in CY 2014 ps4 is already down YoY first quarter in the us by 50k units and 150k in japan Ps4 should be up in the second quarter thanks to more games and better pricepoints, but will be down in the third quarter, because there is no destiny and no white console bunde (japan q3 should be up, but won't make a huge difference) So all comes down to the holiday quarter. and yeah there is no way they will ship more than 10 or even 11 million consoles this holiday season. not even with a pricecut to 299 if it come to xbox one, 10m is way easiser to achive, but still very hard xbox one alone probably needs up to 7m units in the holiday quarter, to reach the 10m goal |
Eh, hard to tell with the PS4 because of many reasons:
1. China likely gave the PS4 some sort of boost that kept it up YOY or flat for the first quarter of the calendar year.
2. The PS4's summer lineup looks way better than last summer's. Some of its notable releases for that time period are the Batman bundles, Until Dawn, Tearaway Unfolded, and God of War III Remastered.
3. Metal Gear Solid V will give the PS4 a nice boost, as well, considering the series is strongly associated with Playstation. Hardware sales will especially rise if Sony releases the MGSV limited edition bundle. I believe there will also be a major Destiny expansion in September, where Sony has marketing rights to the IP.
4. For the holiday season, Sony has marketing rights to Battlefront and possibly (it's not confirmed one way or another) Black Ops III.
XBO will certainly be up YOY. The question is by how much?
