Forums - Microsoft - So, shall we jump on the "XBONE IS DOOMED" bandwagon ?

 

SO??

Wow. Much doom. New Dreamcast. 562 72.33%
 
Very sales. Such dominance. 209 26.90%
 
Total:771

X1 sold more than double the Wii U at a price point $150 more expensive, and $100 more than the PS4.

It has every major third party game coming out for it.

It has great marketing.

It does appeal to the "dudebros" crowd, but from a sales POV, why is that bad again?

It's nothing like the Wii U.

I hate being drawn into these kinds of discussions because I (like many others) am tired of the console fanboy wars but here's my two cents...

Sony has no exclusives next year that can go toe-to-toe against Titanfall and Halo 5.  I mean you know it's bad when the guys that used to make exclusive lists and say multiplatform games don't really matter are playing up Destiny of all games.  The truth is that Sony fanboys can't wait for E3 2014 because deep down they know it's the case and they're hoping Sony will produce a AAA game out of thin air that can go against those two titans.

As for Xbox One is doomed just let that last paragraph sink in for a minute.  Xbox One will have two of the biggest next gen console exclusives (if not *the* two biggest next gen console exclusives) coming out next year.  In my opinion it's Sony that has blown its load too early by putting games like Gran Turismo 6 (a disaster considering its sales compared to Gran Turismo 5) and The Last of Us along with other exclusives on PS3.

I'm sure someone will want to show a list of PS4 exclusives that is basically almost all indie games but lets get real, it's extremely unlikely any of them will be a Minecraft and if indie games really moved hardware then the Vita wouldn't be the sales disaster that it is.  Add to that the fact that Microsoft's Indie program will be getting up to speed so there goes another advantage the PS4 will have had.

Speaking of lost advantage there's Microsoft's competing service to PS+ that will be debuting next year.  It seems like one advantage after another is disappearing for the PS4 and 2014 looks to be no different in that regard .  If anything it's Xbox One that will continue to be on the rise after a disasterous pre launch and PS4 which is coasting on Microsoft's mistakes that are rapidly being corrected.

Wait until the end of next year after Titanfall and Halo 5 (and all the other exclusives) are out their own instant game service had debuted before passing judgment on the Xbox One.  Sony fanboys should also pray that Microsoft doesn't throw in a price drop as well for shits and giggles because then the shit will have gotten real and PS4 might just become Xbox One's bitch.


Yea what he said. I have no energy to put much into this thread...

Once Halo comes out and a price cut it will sell far better than PS4 in the USA


Ahahahahha

no

Because PS4 will also get a pricecut and BUNGIE's Destiny will be marketed as a PS4 game

 

Destiny is the next big thing.


Sony isn't cutting the price for the PS4 for at least 2 years. You are crazy if you think they will cut it next year. Destiny is online only. It will automatically cut its sales in half because of that. According to the mass outrage over Microsoft's policies I thought Playstation owners wanted to be able to play offline.


And Titanfall isnt always online? Atleast you can play Destiny solo, atleast Destiny has a storymode unlike Titanfall.

You still have to be online to play that "solo" mode.



Neither of these are true. The xbox one will sell well, but I feel like the ps4 will definitely do better. The wiiU will do the worst of this generation. The xbox one is not the next dreamcast, the wiiU draws a million parallels with the dreamcast. The xbox one sounds like the ps3 at launch, except they don't have a right to be gloating, and it's weaker than the cheaper competition. And before people say "well then the xone should sell more because the ps3 sold more than the 360!" the ps3 didn't win because of its launch. They won despite its launch being awful.

Pick your side. I still say that xbox 1st january will be inferior to wii u 1st january.



Hasn't the Xbox one already sold half of the lifetime sales of the Wii U?
