Forums - Sales - Prediction: Xbox One will win June 2014 NPD

I think it entirely depends on E3, actually. The Price point simply makes it on par with the PS4, with lesser hardware. If they hit it out of the park, regardless of Sony's performance, they should do well in the last 3 weeks of June (June1-9 will probably be down, like the rest of May following the announcement of the price cut/kinectless model).

That having been said, they could both have incredible exciting E3's, which would mean the PS4's still going to sell well. Tough call, it will be very interesting to see the numbers on that first week in June, and that could impact June's NPD numbers.

Should keep in mind though, there are many millions of people who own 360/PS3, who haven't upgraded yet. So, the numbers will be there for them both to push lots of hardware.

or the wii u wins...



Too bad the price is not the reason why the PS4 is selling better. X1 is still inferior in ever regard with third party games being superior on PS4.

Watch Dogs already has higher PS4 pre-orders and will spill over into June. TLoU remastered coming in June and possibly PSNow. Either way, if their June NPD is better it would be because people won't buy the console this month (which is smart) and wait til June.

That would create a manufactured spike,but not because the console is no higher demand than it is now.NPD is irrelevant either way.Global is what matters.



I can honestly see it happening, but it depends on Sony.



It better. Else its going to be 6 consecutive months+ instead of 5.
If it doesn't well its not DOA yet, but its never going to beat PS4

I'm betting sub 100K for May, but it will definitely take June



Platinums: Red Dead Redemption, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Terminator Salvation, Uncharted 1, inFamous Second Son, Rocket League

Doubt it, there is more to it then price. That excuse will be useless soon.



Put it this way, if Xb one doesn't win June NPD then it's really in the shit and you can expect a further $50 price cut possibly before the end of 2014.

This generation is going to be very boring to watch play out if PS4 and Xb one don't have a tight competition in USA.

June depends entirely on E3, I would imagine.  However, they'll already be at a disadvantage after a poor showing between June 1st and 8th (new SKU launches on the 9th).  They should be back to healthy numbers post-E3, but if Sony has a great E3 or a better E3, then the first week would put them at a disadvantage for taking June entirely, and that's assuming that Kinect and Price aren't the only reasons for it's current status.
