But you are being forced, in a way. If you want a ps4, but the only place you can find one happens to be at the local gamestop, they are trying to force extra crap you may not want. Sure, you can wait, or try another store, but GameStop is still trying to force it's own bundle. How's that "out there"? Yes, nobody is pointing a gun at someone and saying, go buy this bundle, but GameStop is still forcing potential ps4 buyers on a bundle/game/extra controller/ ps+, that they may not want. I didn't feel like you were jumping on me either, just responding. I just hope other stores don't try to follow what they are doing, then maybe everyone WILL be forced if they want one.... |
Okay I get where you are coming from. You are saying if you go to game stop and all they have left is this bundle then it is being forced on you.
The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

But Playstation and Xbox simply aren't comparable in this regard. Europe and Japan are already lost for One. Nobody can deny that. There simply isn't a way for them to outclass PS4 in sales WW. Only thing they can hope for is improving their sales and at best, retaking US with a small lead (although I do not expect that). What the guy above probably means is that the positions have already been decided. Sales for X1 can easily be improved though. |
Precisely. I am not saying that we can perfectly predict the outcome based on March's data (Why would I be?!). But, March will tell us how much the PS4 will probably end up winning by unless MS makes BIG changes.
Just because the canary dies in the coal mine, doesn't mean everyone in the mine is also gonna die. A warning is a warning.

I agree. I think nothing will ultimately change in the coming years. The fans have decided, this early, which machine will be the go to machine. I was a big 360 gamer last gen, got the ps4, and have no plans on getting an x1, at least until it's cheaper, and doesn't have the stupid kinect(I hate that thing).... Microsoft can still have a great gen, but it will be one they will not win. But they don't have to either. Just be profitable with good enough sales... Hopefully. We need a competitor in the market.
Well, the Titanfall bundle is now at 12th, but still, the fact that a $570 "bundle" that is really just a forced purchase of 4 items is selling better than an actual bargain bundle that saves you money and costs less than the other "bundle"...well, it might not say that much, but it says something. Certainly makes more sense why Gamestop feels the need to give Xbone extra advertising and layaway options and nothing for the PS4. The PS4 sells itself just fine without help.
this is big. wishing the best to Sucker punch. here's hoping ISS does over 5m.
The article says that Sony is doing a Euro Infamous bundle. Why they doing that? They are in a position where it would make sense to let it sell on its own merits.
$570?! Goddamn, what kind of gamer has that cash laying around?
