Microsoft was just filling in gaps because they know Sony is naturally favored in Europe. Many people who live in Europe can still get both Fifa and a PS4 cheaper than an Xbox One with a free Fifa.

True but the Fifa bundle will ensure a sold out Xbox One at launch. Personally I think they would have sold out anyways and the bundle was just a waste of money. 


I think the bundle was a good idea. They definitely will be needing it in the European region as they will be at a shipping handicap against Sony which will be reaching three times the countries opposed to Microsoft in Europe.

Absolutely possible, it'll be a harder feat than 360 dominating vs PS3 after the PS2 era though.



 

I think it might have a first better year - with all the pre orders and stuff. Possibly a better launch and then things we be more even by the holiday. Sony consoles always launch well, and the PS3 launched much better than the Xbox 360, even with a much higher price.

But no, I do not think it can win this gen. I just don't think it has as many features that well sell well in North America as much as the Xbox One.

Microsoft hasn't started advertising the Xbox One. Will have to update my opinion once I see what they are doing.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Yeah it's pretty clear Sony is going to outship them, which is strange considering how much money Microsoft has. There must have been some major issues with production for them to only be launching in 13 countries. Maybe the massive DRM reversal had something to do with it? I don't think it was as simple as flipping a switch to get rid of all that stuff.

Oh and thanks! 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

That question can easily be answered. Sony is a hardware manufacturer by bread and butter and they've never launched head to head with Sony.

Maybe. MS won't make again so many errors as before the 180s and it will fight fiercely for BF and Xmas, so the fight will be quite even and we won't know for sure until after Xmas.

As long as FPSes are popular here in NA, I doubt the PS4 will outsell the XB1 in NA. CoD sells a ton on the PS3 too, but the preferred choice for most of that fan base is XBOX. The second the XB1 price drops to a more competitive level with the PS4, it will probably outsell the PS4 in NA.


This seems the most likely. Once the price difference is gone the X180 will start to gain ground. WW sales I think could easily go to PS4 though. MS does not seem to have a good WW strategy still.

Price is a big factor, the benefit Sony have this time is the price is in their favour.

With the PS3 every time Sony reduced the price, MS were always able to drop it further than the PS3. So they were always ahead on the value proposition. Sony also couldnt do a lot about the price because of the massive losses per console.

This time it's flipped. MS has the more expensive console, and so MS has to drop the price first to match the Ps4, while Sony can just sit and wait and combat any price reduction with their own. It's scarily how polar opposites to the last consoles each console is this coming gen.

Well they've done it before. Ps4 already has more pre orders in US and it's cheaper so yes it is possible.



its certainly possible,america isnt loyal to anyone. its hitting from all angles right now.... wiiu is finishing dead last, never been more sure of anything



All I can do is judge by the pre orders( which I know is bad) and say yeh most likely.

But we will know after about 6 months whos gunna be top dog.
