Miss Black Friday? I doubt it very much somehow.
Early November for both in the US. These figures maybe in Europe.

Might be, but I don't know if it will make the One that advatageous anyways.
CGI-Quality said: December release for either console is out of the question. November 29th seems a tad late (a week later than the 360's launch), but it wouldn't be entirely out of the question. I personally expect the PS4 to release around Oct 29, the X-One, Nov 5. |
I don't think they will release as late as 360. In that case, they knew that the other consoles would release only in the next year. Now there already is one next gen console out there and the PS4 will come in a similar time frame. I think we will see both out by the end of October.

A playstation console not having any legs? That would be a first |
I know! Crazy it sounds. (Like I have been smoking things with Patcher, but I assure you I have not.)
But currently, the PS3 has about half the sales of the Xbox in North America. The 360 is about to be the number #1 7th Gen console there, and the Xbox has had more sales than the PS3 for the last several years, even with the recent release of a well loved, well reviewed game, The Lasf of US. The PS3 has had all this going for it, and still lagging in 3rd place.
I think consumers will see the Nintedo Tablet thing for the kids, the Xbox One as the game/media/football/I can talk to it machine, and then there is that other Playstation thing. (Hey, I remember the playstation, my cousin had one.) This time it doesn't have blu-ray helping it, which I know several of my friend bought it for that.
A bunch of hardcore gamers will certainly buy it day one. But you can't 'play memory' and that what most of the buzz is about. I just don't see anything that will give the PS4 a real draw in North America over the long term.

100$ cheaper is an advantage. Releasing 14 days sooner is not. |
Not at launch it won't.

I disagree. Both consoles will sell out of their intitial shipments regardless of what day they launch. But releasing on the biggest shopping day of the year would just be too much free advertisement, word of mouth, and demand created to pass up. MicroSoft should release sooner tho, like October. An "All In One Entertainment Device" honestly doesn't need a "holiday" to sell. Look at Smartphones, Tablets, etc. They release all throughout the year. A "video game" system like the PS4, something generally regarded as a "gift" or "toy" needs a holiday launch. |
Not a chance to launch that weekend. The word of mouth and excitement on that weekend is for extreme bargains. The launch 1-3 weeks before that weekend actually gives them the media hype. You are right that both systems will sell out anyway, but for the free publicity, they want there own event to get the attention.

you are not a parent, cause nobody sane does its christmas shopping 10 days before christmas or even in december periode
100% sure both consoles will release between COD Ghosts release date (early November) and Black Friday.
