I honestly think, as far as the US goes, that Xbox One is just getting back to where it was brand wise. Don Mattrick took what use to be a US core gamer juggernaut (360) and tried turning it into a casual love letter to Wii. I think that the whole anti used game push/Kinect 2/tv,tv,tv thing in 2013 was the culmination of his failed vision and now, we're going to see sales meet parallel with one another or close to it. Ever since Mattrick and his team left and Spencer's team took over, we've seen a massive shift back to the day when the Xbox brand was actually vaulable in the eyes of the gaming community. Taking Kinect out and basically just shutting it down, putting TV so far out of focus that it's almost invisible, redesigning the entire UI so it actually runs great, Backwards compatibility, focusing on growing IP instead of just buying it etc.... I think the sales are starting to show the pay off. Only time will tell, obviously, but I would be shocked to see PS4 ever jump back into that position, US wise, where it can't be reached. World wide it will always be a slaughter, but not in the US. |
Even ignoring the TV deal, they had Gears, RR, and the Madden bundle last month. Comparing that to the fairly sparse month the PS4 had (just Until Dawn I think) shows that there is good evidence to suggest that the PS4 will continue to outsell the Xbox One by a decent margin when all things are equal.
Bet with Adamblaziken:
I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
