Finally, the One is at the right price in comparison to the PS4, if only temporarily. Sales should see a nice boost from this. Who knows, they might even have a chance of beating the PS4 in the US this holiday season.

Titanfall director tweet about releasing a Titanfall game on PS4.

That link makes it EXPLICITELY clear that Titanfall will not be on the PS4. A sequel? Sure, maybe.
But it entirely disproves your example of Titanfall as a title that moved to PS4.

Can see Sony offering GTA V and Last of Us Remastered for $399 for holiday season with the bundle being $349 just for Black Friday. People think Sony are going to give MS so much opportunity when they have the chance to get the US on lock? No chance. Remember there was a new PS4 certification/model so they've already made the PS4 cost cheaper. They are not going to lie down in their biggest market with a great deal from MS like that.
Anyone believe there will be further reductions on this MS deal come Black Friday?

If we go back to 2013, they had never done a X1 game too, so... |
Yeah, true enough. I am convinced it will be on PC within a year - along with 90% of X1's "exclusives".

Yeah I think Sony is gonna do two things:
1) Bundle a ton this holiday to counter the lower price
2) Drop the PS4's price to $300 next year while the X1 is still $350. No prisoners.
The PS4 will still easily win this Holiday, and WW it's going to be a bloodbath but at the very least this will help keep MS from falling off entirely (In NA).

I would not call this desperate. Microsoft just made billions of dollars in just one quarter and they can afford to take these measures for remaining competitive. Good on them. They mean business. Conversely if they were losing billions and had to do this then we could call them desparate. |
It's not desparation for money, it's desparation for sales.
| Kerotan said: WOW yet another big discount! Just shows you how shell shocked MS are! Will Sony counter? The way I see it if Sony match this promotion the number of PS4's sold this holiday will dramatically increase. I mean the sort of increase that it's probably impossible for them to meet the demand. SO it is probably a waste of time doing it as they can likely sell out their highest possible shipment without this deal. Such is the colossal demand for the PS4. |
I, unlike most people around here, don't believe discounts matter all that much. The Gamecube launched at $199.99, a full $99.99 cheaper than the PS2 and we ALL know how that went. Hell, the damned thing even dropped to $99.99 and it still didn't do anything.
If people want a PS4 more, a price drop's not changing anything because why should it? Think about it yourself. Would you buy a console you don't want just to save $49.99? lol It makes no sense.

And it won't work now just like it did not work then.
