Um two and ONLY two reason.

Cheaper Price. More territories.

Nothing more.


Since Price is equal now we just need the 5-10% of the extra market that X1 will have got from X360 to double the X1 sales.

When someone inevitably necrobumps my August NPD prediction thread in a few months, just remember that 1) I was totally super humble and never called anyone who might disagree delusional, 2) I said it was a long shot like three times in the OP, and 3) I'm adorable and fragile, so be geeeentleee. D:

That being said, this is indeed hilarious given it isn't happening to me. x3 Yet. I occasionally found some articles or forum posts written weeeeell over a year ago, before the Xbox One reveal even happened, talking with such confidence on why the next Playstation console would basically crash and burn miserably. Then of course, in the wake of the reveal, the initial grumblings about the possible policies the X1 was enacting, the confident, "Sony'll announce they're doing it, too, just wait and see..." Unfortunately most of said threads were locked. xP

we all made stupid predictions in the past. its how you generally act what will matter the most and how you accept it when you are wrong. i knew i was most probably gonna eat major crow on that prediction, but i still did it anyway. i gambled for glory, but i lost! 

Aye, tis indeed the wretched path of the thrillseeker, he who walks the edge of damnation to make The Predictions none dare make! And to inevitably be called a butt by lots of complete strangers. x3 At this point we're only a week into August and I've pretty much figured out my prediction is Dead in the Water; I only had a tiny sliver of hope even the day after I made it, because I'd forgotten that TLOU:R was launching so far at the END of July til someone pointed it out.

I think you just contradicted yourself.


I didnt. I said right in the post that the price is a huge factor. Its not the only factor though.

$299 with major PR problems vs $399 with great PR is a totally different prospect to what we are seeing right now.

I thought he was being sarcastic because the Wii U *is* 100 bucks cheaper and is getting crushed.


This guy got it.


You did.

You said the ONE would be ahead if it was $100 cheaper.

A back peddle to sarcasm doesnt wash.

You honestly believe the ONE wouldnt be winning if it was $100 cheaper and £60 cheaper?  It is selling 90% of the PS4 sales at $100 more in the biggest market.

Come on.

 

Selling 90% of PS4 when 100 more expensive, but selling 50% at the same price... maybe it would sell 20% if 100 cheaper.

No.  I'm a guy that owns a very successful business.  

Only people that arent entrepreneurs call themselves entrepreneurs and I dont think I've ever done that unless I was pissed or trying to piss someone off (which i do from time to time)

answer this, after that long list of apparent mistakes, nay crimes against gamers listed above... how come the 360 sold the same as the PS3?  How was that possible?

If I said price, would you believe me?

BINGO!


So X360 being 100+ dollars cheaper than PS3 when sales are aligned never sold more than PS3 then that 5% must be really important. Even better is that this shows that even if X1 were 100 cheaper than PS4 it would still be behind PS4.

It's more powerful, has cheaper online (I think), better exclusives, was cheaper for launch, and actually has exclusives. XB1's "exclusives" end up on PC a lot



XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

Price is 95% of it.

saying anything else is delusional.

better price for what you get,lot more power, more talented 1st party(by a country mile), more games on it.. i know theres a lot of indy trash out there (as well as chitty trash AAA games too), but theres is a good amount of solid indy games on the ps4 also thats not on the xone...i said before,tons of ppl dont game on computers,and only game on consoles,more options/games on ps4 to win over ppl... all imo
