Should do it on Japan launch, Halo MCC release and Halo 5 release.

Sunset Overdrive and Quantum Break release weeks have a decent chance too though.

i really think it will flop in japan ps4 and wii u cant even do well there i expect xbox one to do worse



Bets:

(Won)Bet with TechoHobbit: He(Techno) says 10 million by January 1,2014 I say 9 million by then. Winner gets 2 weeks of sig control.

(Lost)Bet with kinisking: I say Ps4 will win April NPD while he says Xbox One will win it; winner gets 1 week of avatar control.

Raichu's First Series:

First RPG?

First Fighter?

First Racer?

First Shooter?

First MMO?

First Horror?

Halo and Gears can probably boost it above the PS4 globally for singular weeks (providing the PS4 doesn't also get a significant boost from something, similar to the PS4 v WiiU week with MK8 and WD). A significant price cut could also do it, providing it put the X1's price far enough below the PS4's.

Other than that i can't see it ever happening, not unless MS manage to turn things around. No idea how they will manage that though.

There is no turning around. People's minds are already set that MS is "the bad guy" this gen and I don't see any chance that prevents this thinking.

All sorts of things are coming up, like the launch in China and further countries such as Russia, the Halo master collection and a strong holiday line up. So what weeks do you thing XBO will outsell the PS4?


Maybe if they drop the price to $350 and bundle in Halo.   Honestly anything but a price drop won't do much.

That would be selling at such a loss, there is no real way they could or should be doing that any time soon.

I say wait a few months and see, if there is still that launch drought of games affecting both ps4 and X1 I think there will be little reason to have a flood of people buying either. The ps3 and X360 spoiled gamers too much with enough good games to last another full generation almost without buying an upgrade to hardware.

If handled correctly the launch of Forza Horizon 2 will definately raise up the X1 sales in Europe to match the US sales even if it's just for a few weeks you're sure to see the global sales being equal if not heavily in favour of the X1 when that drops IMO.

Because driveclub wich is schedule to realese almost at the same time will not stop thouse sales, considering the european market is in favor of ps4. If they wait to long on the pricecut its going to be to late. MS has 2 average games in octover and a remake in november, Sony will destroy their holliday sales if they dont at least do a double game bundle plus a year of live.
