Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Microsoft is not dropping Kinect. They will drop the price to match the PS4 before that happens. They can afford to match Sony on any price they set if need be.

I dont see it... a price cut that soon i mean. If they drop the price too soon, it could have a negative impact. 

Also remember Sony is currently below the Xbox in price, so unless they decide to bring out another SKU with a lower price before launch, Sony can always wait and see what MS do first. So perhaps in 6 months time MS release a non Kinect Xbox (personally i dont see them doing that)... Sony could knock $50 off to combat that.

This is what i said previously, its a reverse of what's happened this gen really. When whatever Sony did, because they were always more expensive, MS just waited, watched what they did and then dropped the price. The other "benefit" for Sony is that they are really good at reducing the cost of the console footprint/cost. So they could release a slimmer PS4 at a later stage and do what they have done with the PS3 and that is keep the price up.

I dont see MS going in for a Price war, i really dont. I think both Sony/MS will try to get as much money out of the gen.

But this does take into account both consoles selling relatively well, if one is doing much worse than who knows what could happen.

I have to disrespectfully agree with this post. Jackass.

I don't understand your reply

Rol is just saying that he agrees with him but doesn't like it. (Because he likes messing with people and is friends with badgenome)

That prediction could go either way depending on what Nintendo does with the GPad. I personally believe they are capable of creating something cool out of it but if not, PS4 > Wii U is more likely.

Lol gotcha, I think I misread it and thought something else.

No chance. The 360 had everything going in its favor this generation, and it still couldn't outsell the PS3. After the way MS has stumbled out of the gates so far, I don't see how they're going to improve their position generation over generation. The fact that they were apparently willing to scrap their entire "vision" for their console speaks volumes about where the Xbox division is at the moment.

As for the Wii U, the Gamecube had all those same Nintendo series and was also cheaper than the Playstation...

This.

 

Also at OP the most powerful console never wins, but the one with the best(quality and quantiry) games libraries always have the advange.

That is subjective though.

I think most people expect to see those results

MS may win in the USA, but not by a big number like the 360 did, maybe 19 million for the xbox one and 17 for the ps4? I don't know.
Same with Mexico and Canada, since they're basically a part of the north american market.

outside the ps4 will outsell the xbox one
and well the Wii U will only outsell xbox one on Japan


Ummm "basically" part of North American market??? You do realize that North America comprises of 23 countries, right? and Yes that does include Mexico and Canada... and 21 other countries. Do kids still have geogrophy in school these days?? That Rick Perry education really paying dividents for you......

Nope, not gonna happen.  With literally everything going for them this time out, they still couldnt beat the PS3 and the clusterfuck of problems.

Think about it.

  • The 360 launched 12-18 Months earlier
  • The 360 has been far cheaper the entire generation
  • The 360 was easy to develop for, while the PS3 was a nightmare for developers. Meaning better multiplats for the 360
  • The 360 got the Kinect boost, because it was "new" tech
  • The 360 was the go to online console, due to the superior online and pack-in headset

They literally have none of those advantages this time out. Theyre launching at the same time. The PS4 is cheaper. The PS4 is a dream to develop for. Kinect is no longer new and hyped. The PS4 has a "headset" while the One relies on Kinect in the box.

Ill counter your points in the OP anyway.

  • The Xbox brand is really only strong in America and Britain. Outside of these areas, the brand really isnt that strong at all.
  • Microsft had Billions to spend when they launched the Xbox. It finished a distant 2nd. Microsoft had Billions to spend when they launched the 360. Theyre currently in last place. Having Billions to spend doesnt mean the product will "win".
  • Is this the same concrete plan that they recently did a 180 on? 

The brand isnt strong enough outside of America and Britain. Theyre gonna get stomped. Its gonna be brutal.

Thats the Xbox out of the way, Ill move onto your PS4 points now.

 

  • The most powerful console has never before been cheaper than the competition, while at the same time recieving brilliant support from 1st parties and 3rd parties. This is an anomoly and it cant be used as a negative against the PS4. Its a silly point.
  • "Doing things different" isnt necessarily the key to success. I think this is a silly point.
  • Sony really dont need to get into a price war, because the system is already far cheaper than the Xbox One and the Wii U is struggling as it is due to a lack of support. The pricing for the machine is perfect and Sony should be able to hold the $399 tag for at least 2 Years, providing support stays strong for the console (It will).

I think youre grasping at straws by pointing at history really.

Now, to move onto the Wii U

  • Wii U Party wont do shit in the grand scheme of things, because the controller doesnt appeal to the mass market. The only way a Pokemon will sell the Wii U in a meaningful way, will be if Nintendo finally push out a proper Pokemon game for the console - This wont happen. We are more likely to get Pokemon Snap U
  • Nintendo have the biggest games, yes. Its not the names that sell though, its the experience. Wii Sports on WIi U will be a totally different experience to Wii Sports on Wii It wont have the appeal.
  • Price means nothing without support - The WIi U doesnt have meaningful support.

Right.

In all seriousness, I think the order will be PS4 >> Xbox One > Wii U

PS4 > 100 Million
Xbox One ~50 Million
Wii U ~ 40 Million


This >

You make far too much sense to be here. People are going to tear you apart for bringing common sense to such a ludicrous discussion..
