Ive been reading alot of gaming stuff lately online things like MS won E3 2014, Halo CE will save the XB1, Sunset Overdrive will be bigger than sliced bread, and i want ethomaz back. Ethomaz was a PS warrior with bad grammar who let the console warz get to him and continually got banned b/c of it, he had a few good predictions here and there but he's done now and wont be back...ever. What i havent been reading about is the future of console sales in particularly between the PS4 and XB1 in US.
We know MS won US last gen and completely destroyed all console competition even at one point PS3 was cheaper than the 360 and lost NPDs to MS at the same and as mentioned lower price point. Alot of stuff can be attributed to why MS won US last gen but all that doesnt matter b/c since this gen started Sony won all the NPDs to this date, ok fine they lost one in december of last year or something but they just got lucky. Recent NPDs showed dwindling XB1 sales even with the supposed over hyped Titanfall releasing, sales fell so low that MS was forced to cut the XB1 by $100 which might be the fastest price cut to date at the sacrifice of kenict.
I believe that even with this price cut it will not be enought to win June NPD b/c we all know May is a lost cuase for the XB1, i believe that recent E3 results further prove this. MS didnt have any megatons at E3 they didnt announce anything that would make future undecided next gen console owners sway in favor of buying a XB1. On the other had Sony's showings of Destiny bundle with early beta, Infamous DLC, LBP3 releasing this year can play all of BP1 and 2 levels on 3, Dead Island 2 content available on PS4 first, Uncharted 4 TLOU, the order 1886, no mans sky, Bloodbourne, Grim Fandango, Suda 51, and a bunch of indie titles Only on PS, lead me to believe that PS4 can and will take June NPD
Another thing that leads me to believe this is that i feel that those that really wanted a XB1 have it already or bought the TF bundle, the 399 XB1 wont be the ony XB sku available what happens when they are sold out? you know there wont be much stock for them as they wont be making MS much money. i believe the clear conception its that the PS4 is the 'it" console for this gen its the most powerful it has the best price and its where gamers want to play on b/c it will continue to evolve and offer fresh games, unlike MS always having to rely on Halo and gears on other older franchises. PS4 already established a larger userbase in all available territories its availbe in even in the US! gamers are gonna want to play online with there friends and since the PS4 is already in more homes than thats where they'll go
