Forums - Gaming - What can Sony and the PS4 do to stop Xbox 8 and Halo 5?

Ps4 will sell with his name alone



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Being hypothetical, as the original question is! For me the question is, will Halo 5 be enough for Microsoft if Sony comes out with ' The Last Guardian' as a PS4 launch title! Coz i assume Playstation guys are not much into Fps compared to Xbox guys

Common misconception, fps titles sell nearly as well on PS3 (And in some cases better, aka Medal of Honor) as they do on X360.

1 or two exception are there, Statistically halo and call of duty move more 360 than ps3 . Alan Wake would have sold better on PS3 than it did on X360.. Best example is Heavy Rain.

Yes Halo moves more on 360... because it's not on Playstation... Last I checked, Killzone, Socom etc didn't move 360 units either...

And that's just wishfull thinking, with titles that sell "so little"  it can swing both ways.

Is little big planet wishful thinking! and can u tell me any other title besides shooter that sold well X360 and about exclusives, thats why i had mentioned call of duty too. Also you are stating that  Socom, killzone and resistance are system sellers like Halo and Call of duty are, if so then there is nothing more i can say to you.

Microsoft and 343 won't rush developing Halo 5 and launch it 1 year after releasing Halo 4. It would cut Halo 4 sales, and since there won't be a larger number of NextBox systems released, Halo 5 sales would be weak.

Instead MS will likely release a Halo Remake, I hear a Halo 1-3 True HD trilogy is planned for launch. A game like that would attract a lot of the core Halo fans and X-Box devoted, and be a good game to convince newcomers to MS platforms and Halo to try out the NextBox. Plus it would help 343 understand how to develop for the Nextbox better and thus make a better Halo 5.

However Halo is huge, if Sony want to nip the Halo bug in the butt, they are basically going to have to look for some great new developers, and market the hell out of a new IP. Microsoft found the guys for Halo when Apple was going to make Halo a Mac exclusive, but later cut funding. Sony found Polyphony Digital when someone made a compeditor to Mario Kart, and wanted to make a SIM racer. Nintendo found Retro Studios when the better developers started to leave Acclaim Entertainment.

Now with so many studios going bankrupt, there is a sea of excellent developers, all Sony needs to do is find a few of the better ones (Maybe the guys who created Modern Warfare, but left Activision), and start something new and fresh. The biggest issue with the PS4 debut was the lack of a new first party IP, and if Sony could make a damn excellent one, and market it as well as they market GT, or as MS markets Halo, and Sony is set.

If Sony can't do this right away, releasing The Last Guardian would be a great start. PS2 had ICO when it launched at look how well the system did.

But MS has it easier, all they need to do is develop a good Perfect Dark, Conker, or Banjo Kazooie Game and that would bring a lot of attention onto MS again. Might let MS compete against Nintendo more aggresively too.

A Banjo Kazooie game would be amazing! I've been hoping MS would do something like that for a long time.

Too Bad Microsoft is butchering Rare. I don't think a AAA Banjo will release on a MS platform, but if MS got their heads out their asses, they could make one, and it would help build their portfolio, and console sales.

I think more people would be interested in a Banjo Triooie then a new Ratch & Clank (no offence to R&C fans).
