Why does it take 350 posts to just say "no"? This thread doesn't deserve the post count it's getting. PS fans in particular should just set this thread to ignore. It's as if PS fans think that if every bit of the illogical isn't deconstructed somehow the prediction might actually come true.

Just leave the deluded to their delusions and create and contribute to threads that are actually grounded in reason and coherence. Don't perpetuate threads created in ignorance and wishful (or magical) thinking.

I just came back into this thread to say this. I won't be back. Well I might come in to have a stealth laugh but I won't be posting again.


With this post I will also exit this thread adn maybe just come into read the comments every now and again.....



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

Things were never bad for the Xbox One and things aren't bad now.

These gaming websites just like to blow things out of proportion to get hits. The Xbox One is selling well and is doing just fine.

What? Its selling extremely bad right now. About 50k a week is terrible and is not even close to the 360 in its first year. If it hadn't had such a strong launch then it would be a disaster right now because its YTD in 2014 is very bad, less than PS3

A few weeks of lower than usual sales doesn't spell doom for a gaming console. Sales can pick up and the situation can change.

A few weeks? Its been selling badly all year long and spent a long time at sub 50k. Its first full year up to this point has only been better than WiiU and Vita's, both of which are widely agreed to be doomed. Looking back, its barely been doing better than what Vita did in terms of a weekly baseline which is just terrible. I agree that the situation can change but the situation right now is very bad

Ironically, the Call of Duty bundle isn't even doing that WELL at the moment on Amazon. xP Last I checked, it dropped off the top 100 bestsellers list a day or so ago, was sitting at 115 thereabouts. (But it's beating the Sunset Overdrive bundle at least!) Madden bundle climbed into the mid-twenties a few days ago. By contrast, the Destiny bundle for PS4 hasn't seemed to drop below 35 in over a month, and has been in the top ten vicinity (between 8 and 12, most often 8) for longer than Madden's been in the 20s.. =P And the PS4 base console seems all but permaglued to the top 5. (Xbox One base unit's been in the 50s and 60s.)

So yeah... thus far, Halo's looking like literally the only chance you've got.


The problem with your comparison is that the COD bundle is a holiday release.  The sales bump that the OP is describing would happen much closer to the release of the bundle.  Call of Duty buyers are much more casual buyers and get them at the last minute.  THe Destiny bundle is also the release of the white version of the PS4.  Sure to be popular in its own right. 



It is near the end of the end....

Call of duty will obv sell more worldwide on ps4. If ps4 dominates with 0 exclusives, it will dominate + with 2015 exclusives such as bloodborne uncharted lbp3. Xbox only hope is usa. I'm willing to bet you're wrong

i agree with the op... news travels slowly even with the internet,,,but santamonica./naughty/sony polyphony.have closed down shop for good and no longer will be releasing their own mega million sellers, xone basically has the market to itself

So, what you're saying is you get our news from the National Enquirer?  Because literally everything you just said is a lie.

News travels faster than anything on the net, and SSM, ND and PD aren't 'closed down'.

When he says the XBone will catch up to PS4 due to America, he doesn't mean America as in the 50 states. He means America in Texas.


so uhh.....globally in the Texas then.
