I think the biggest damage was CoD's performance. It's not just down, it's WAY down. And there was no official bundle for it. And Assassin's Creed, also a typical console mover, skipped this year. And aside from Battlefield, all the rest you mentioned were fairly underhyped and Mavia in particular got quite the lukewarm reception. And PS4 lowered it's price late in the November game, so that's part of that issue. But Xbox's problem is that their little game of fire sale after fire sale is a war of diminishing returns. Having them so frequently has eroded their effectiveness. So Sony under-utilized their resources and Microsoft has so often over played their hand with the sales that their agression in the Holidays this year just isn't as effective as it has been in the past. |
Agree with pretty much all of that, particularily with supa bomba CoD and the part about fire sales and diminishing returns. At this point, any potential Xbox owner would be crazy not to wait for the console to be on sale before buying.
