I still remember people had no dubts in their minds that august was a sure thing to, with rare replay, gears remaster and the $500 40" tv + and x1 bundle, then look what npd told us on that prediction.

So I would advise you to not rush to the conclusion that one game will change eveything, remember that nintendo always preached that and look at them now. And last year the bundles and pricecut was insane with the x1, all sony did was add GTA5. Asuming it will be the same this year is another thing you should be carefull with.

I said fourth quarter in the US though and most definitely November and december in the west. Sony has the rest of the year outside of the fourth quarter in the states, generally speaking, but fourth quarter tends to bring larger sales than any other month in the states anyway so Microsoft isnt a slouch either.

Nintendo has nothing to preach about if they dont have a one hit wonder console and lack third party. He who has the majority of the third party holds the power. Nintendo has forgotten what its like to truly rule the industry since the late eighties and early nineties.

I also meant fourth quater. Aside from halo 5, we know nothing else that will boost sales for the x1. While the ps4 has no "big exclusive", it has many regular exclusive, and exclusive marketing for many games, including COD wich is bigger than halo in the US and starwars, wich I dont like myslef, never did, But I recognise that is a life style to some. When that ps4 limited edition starwars bundle hits, I think the most that it will atract is tha casuals who just watched that movie. It has the potential of being much bigger than halo.

And for the deal and pricecut, you keep thnking it will be hte same as last year, we dont know that, we might as well actually see some competition in the deals for thhis holliday. So I really cant agree with x1 has 4th Q on lockdown.
