im not arguing lol. but i doubt a 3rdp art will help the ps4 more than this. You underestimate halo


Did you not just see WD releasing last week dude? It was massive for PS4.

 

The PS4 bundle is already #4 on Amazon. I'm not underestimating Halo here, Halo 5 will be big, I'm saying the collection won't push as many console. Destiny will be another huge hit for Sony, just like WD.

I take it this will be the new Titanfall? A game that's supposed to be huge and move consoles but ends up not doing so. I think the game will sells big, have a high attach rate, but it won't do much to move consoles.

It's appeal is mainly for those who already own an X1, and the Halo core who are actually nostalgic for 10 year old multiplayer. The mainstream that makes Halo big won't really care, it'll just be "Those games I played years ago". We've seen this before with other HD remasters and remakes.

Halo 5 is where it's at for the mainstream, and pushing it back to 2015 essentially let's Sony take the Holidays.

 

Heck, I'll say this, Destiny will move more PS4s than Halo Collection will move X1s.

Exactly my thoughts as well.

Xbone owners said that price was the only reason why the PS4 is leading, yet the $399 Xbone SKU is sitting at #40 on amazon best sellers while there are 2 PS4 SKUs in the top 10.

Exactly. I think this Holiday season is going to be a big wake up call for some. Price isn't the onlly issue for MS and they made no compelling argument for picking up an X1 over a PS4. Heck, most of their conference as spent showing off games that will end up better on PS4 anyways. 


fable legends, halo, forza horizons, scalebound, crack down, phantom dust, spark, killer instinct season 2. R u kidding me.



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion

You just proved my point. 3 of those are CGI trailers, we know nothing about the game and they're years out (I'll get hyped when I actually see them in action). Killer Instinct is DLC, Horizons 2 is on 360, and Fable Legends doesn't look that great (plus it's 2015).

 

They made no compelling reason to pick an X1 this Holiday over a PS4, unless you were already planning on picking one up. Essentially, they changed nothing adn they're still in a bad position. Sony is poised to dominate the Holidays.

 

It may be different next year with Halo 5, since that will move systems, but by then the gap will be what, at least 8 million, maybe inching on 10.

Lol at the "other" fans trying to downplay this. Halo is a massive franchise. You guys underestimate halo because you dont like it. Just wait for the holidays and you all will see how much of an impact halo can make.
Halo is just an epic franchise! Halo 2 MP? That alone speaks for itself...

I like Halo.  I've played it a ton.  Still not buying an X1 for games I've already played to death.  A new Halo (if it's good) will move many more systems.  This will pale in comparison to how many systems the Destiny bundle pushes for the PS4.

So destiny will push consoles but halo won't? lol

Well maybe you are right since there will be a ps4 + destiny bundle. Plus the crazy marketing sony is doing for destiny, must of spend a big penny for it. 

Not as much as how much Microsoft spent on the media creating the fake titanfall hype. The game on the Xbone sold worse than Infamous: SS which is a huge embarrassment.

The Xbone and all the franchises associatd with the brand are in trouble.

LOL!!!!

 

If a game on xbox sells alot its due to the 1 billion advertising. 

If a game sells great on ps it was because the game was awesome. It did not have much advertising. 

Watchdogs had a crazy advertising budget on ps4 so thats why it sold good whether you deny it. 

The titanfall advertisement budget probably eclipsed the amount of money SONY will ever spend on the PS4 including its accessories, advertising, cost to create exclusives, etc.

It was so ginormous that I think it's possible that Microsoft will never be able to make a profit on the Xbox again.

npd says titanfall outsold infamous. Infamous only sold more in april and not by much. I think its more embarrassing saying this^ as infamous was exclusive and was outsold by a multiplat on a single system.

uk march npd shows titanfall outsold infamous ss by about 300k

april uk npd shows infamous outsold titanfall by ~ 10k i believe (lets say 50k to cover mars too).

~250k missing.

And Watch Dogs on the PS4 outsold every game on the Xbone. Isn't that even more embarrassing?


not as embarrassing as you getting one thing right in the 20 minutes you have been writing on here :/

He makes a very good point. WD was a monster for the PS4, it sold more in on week than TF has. It also proves that third party games can move just as many, if not more consoles than an exclusive. That's why people should not underestimate Destiny. 

 

The Halo collection is amazing yes, it's incredible value, yes. But it is not going to be a system seller beyond providing a small boost. It's mostly a compliment for those who already own an X1 or who were already going to buy an X1.
