Forums - Sales Discussion - The upcoming X1 price cut will make it match the PS4 sales in the US

SlayerRondo on 03 November 2014

It may very well occur in those markets.

If it does I expect that Sony will bite the bullet and cut the price of the PS4.

It could happen for November & December but I dont think it will last after that in the US

You can't just rely on the last two months of the year for huge sales. The best consoles in history have sold well each year, all year. The X1 did not sell well from January to now despite countless deals. This problem will be even more pronounced next year because the PS4 will have way more games than this year, especially in exclusives.


X1 will have a lot more exclusives next year too. MS' goal should be to maintain the $50 gap IMO, if they can win on the value proposition side they have a good chance in the US to be competetive. 

Please explain how ms will have more exclusives?  Right now ps4 dwarfs ms in 2015 and half of Sony's studios are not even announced.  Ms had a long drought in 2015. Like the 9 months drought in 2014 which people conveniently forget.  Ps4 had more exclusives in 2014 as well.  The rest of the year exists.

Ps4 had what, Infamous then Driveclub and will get LBP3.  Tis all, while X1 had more with TF KsPorts Pspark FH2 Sunset as is gettign HMcc.  But MS does get killed next year, their keeping it all for the holidays will back fire big time.

10/10 XBOX One will outsell PS4 globally in the US in November.

That said, I don't think it'll take the UK.

With Indies ps4 has an edge.  Singstar  as well.  Transistor is excellent.  The myth x1 had more is just that a myth for console war reasons.

People make these threads like winning the US is all that matters LOL.

I've always says that MS should give out gas cards with XBOX ONE in the US. A definite missed opportunity because has prices have gone down considerably.
