MS doesn't have a new Halo this year, yet they are doing fine. Which games does MS have this year that should be keeping them so much more competetive. With respect, Gears alone isn't that big of a game changer, it's a smaller IP than Halo. They both have Slim models. Sony also has a Pro model on top of that. One is trending up, the other trended down. Sorry but that is a fact for December. I acknowledge PS4's decline, I'm just saying it could also be freaking Microsoft that is also one reason why. MS is a lot tougher than they were one year ago. |
And those trends occurred because of a variety of reasons that I and other people have pointed out multiple times. However, you refused to acknowledge those other reasons. It's not your allegation that Microsoft is more competitive that's bothering other people. In fact, I did say that Microsoft had a very clever release schedule for its new SKUs. What is bother other people is that you refuse to acknoledge things like the PS4 not having Star Wars bundles, the Pro not getting an official holiday price cut, and so forth as other reasons for the PS4's YOY decline.
And here's some food for thought. How many of those XB1 S sales were rebuys from existing XB1 owners? After all, the XB1 S and OG XB1 have significant differences such as HDR and 4K playback. In contrast, the OG PS4 and PS4 slim are nearly identical. In fact, the PS4 slim is a bit of a downgrade because of the missing optical port. If you want to use this argument on the Pro, you should apply the same standard for the XB1 S.
