Forums - Sony - Roy Morgan: Aussies set sights on PS4

Good work Sony. - Now you can stop price gauging us Australians less, $100 price increase is to much, Microsoft is only charging an extra $50.
Still better than adobe suite, where it's cheaper to jump on a plane and go to the USA, purchase it, fly back and still save hundreds.

I like how everyone else except for the north america is getting screwed in the process. (Joke ofcourse but this seriously sucks how all three of these console manufactureres are there to screw it up for everyone else.)

Not bad since this poll is only from July-August where pretty much PS4 was obliterating the Xbox One in the media. I would bet if a more recent poll was taken it would be closer. PS4 will outsell Xbox One this holiday because of more manufactured units but Xbox One will put up a good fight this generation. Things will get interesting when Microsoft gives the Xbox One a price drop. $399 next fall + Titanfall bundled & Halo releasing would kill.

Sony and Microsoft are targeting their weaker markets to stay competitive rather than solidifying their grounds. Kaz Hirai recently announced that they're focusing to solidify their stronger markets (Japan/EU) but releasing PS4 a week after the competition in EU and a week earlier in the US is somewhat contradicting his plan.

Nevertheless I believe Sony played it right with Playstation, while Microsoft seems overconfident if they give Sony a week headstart in the US given Call of Duty: Ghosts will be a week-timed exclusive. I reckon a lot of the typically impatient COD fans might jump to Playstation.

Xbox ONE is doing fairly good in Europe. But it's nowhere near enough to outperform Playstation. Microsoft should've focused on the US because from the looks of it, Playstation 4 will dominate everywhere.


Impatient fans will just buy COD:Ghosts for the 360 and upgrade for $10 two weeks later for the Xbox One. They won't be jumping ship to PS4 just to play Ghosts a week earlier on a next gen console.
