Forums - Microsoft - If Microsoft ends up winning with the less powerful, more expensive console, what's left?

"IF".

Mighty strong word considering PS4 is outselling Xbox One on it's home turf. Let alone worldwide. Lol.

Yes. The tide could be turning with ONE (yes one) bundle of PS4 not selling as much the others. That's a sure fire indication that it could be losing momentum.

Er... wake up and smell the coffee.

PS4 isn't going to lose to Xbox One.

Titanfall? Yet ANOTHER shooter.

Microsoft... tut tut tut tut... is there any wonder why you get DESTROYED by Sony when it comes to the GOTY awards every year?

If the Xbox One won, it would continue 30+ years of tradition where the strongest never won. PS4 is ruining tradition.

I was gonna say pretty much the same, damn you

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Its only been because most powerful in the past has meant most expensive, there not really ruining the tradition, the mold has just been broken this time.

It'll be ps4 then x1 then wiiu. The ps4 and x1 will probably become close just like the 360 and ps3 did


It's not going top be that close nor near like ps3 or 360. only reason they were close was ps3 being so expensive, late, and horrid PR for 2 years.

With signs such as the PS4 knack bundle selling almost none on Amazon UK today (check with Amazon trick) and Titanfall generating huge buzz, along with Microsoft's success at keeping Xbox One well supplied allowing it to win December NPD, it feels like while it may take a few months and it's too early to say, the tide could be turning for Xbox One.

 

So if Microsoft wins with pretty much every deficiency possible-the horrible DRM PR, less power, more expensive- is there anything Sony and Nintendo can do? Just give up?


So presumably you think titanfall is gonna give close to a 2 million bump in XOne sales?  

Presuming this is not a joke thread.

I just want people to let this sink in for a moment.

The X1 might outsell the PS4 because of Titanfall and because the PS4 Knack bundle didn't sell many units on Amazon UK at 3am on a Wednesday... that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is what I call logic!! Well done Fallen!

@ The OP Your last sentence. Read it then answer me. Did you feel the same when PS3 first came out?

Currently Xbox One has more features, more exclusives and more exclusives in 2014. Almost the same power and a better online service with Cloud.

Poor thread. Very poor. Is this what VGC has fallen to?

Halo franchise is a console seller and i don't think Titanfall will be as strong.

sales X360 with Halo 3:
22 sept 2007 163,646
launch week 29 sept: 230,228 +41%
6 oct: 212,281 -8%
13 oct: 199,675 -6%

sales X360 with Halo 4:

launch week 10 nov: 401 194 +57%
17 nov: 473,910 +18% ( launch week for CoD Black Ops II )

It's really a BIG IF.  MS will never win, PS4 will squash XOne in Europe, Japan and Rest of World. In NA will be a big match, but averall PS4 will dominate, in Global. 

Easy as that.
