If it was gonna happen it would happen when xbox recieves halo 5, the Gears collection and an official 299 pricepoint.

My estimation would be never to be honest. Next year PS4 is gonna benefit from all of the Japanese game fans moving onto the PS4 with persona, FFType 0, street fighter, Deep Down, Yakuza and plenty more.

Yakuza is not a system seller it will not boost ps4



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Hopefully never. I see it as an inferior product and the more reason MS has to remove its cancer from this industry, the better


I hope Sony going bankrupt, because only Ninentdo is the real gaming company and one western shooter console is enough for the market. 

Yeah, let's fire 140,900 people because of your petty console gripe!  Seems legit.

Which is funny because there is only one western shooter console lol.

I'm gonna say never. Sony will inevitably have their own price drop some time next year, and that should balance sales out.

How cute.
Based on 1 month of sales and 1 month of predicted sales the XB1 is now predicted to outsell the PS4 in the US. Unfortunately, that would assume that it can maintain consistent sales over the PS4. Completely disregarding that it was outsold consistently for 10 months and was only saved by holiday boosts.
The XB1 hasn't even shown that it can maintain momentum despite its price point, cause a decrease of entry fee and year round deals didn't work until holidays, why would they work in 2015?

this cycle just started. who knows, i want both to do well. I want games for both. Ms has made great strides with updates on xbo. PS4 has been meh at best for me as far as updates and psn being down a lot has been annoying lately.

If they end the price drop sales are gonna plummet and PS4 is gonna get that lead back.

How do you define inferior product?


I'm just going to preface the following statement with, this is my opinion and my opinion only. In no way am I stating this as factual evidence, but mere opinion.

 

I define inferior in this specific case (PS4 vs X1) as the latter having weaker hardware. The latter having far less reliable hardware if history is anything to go by (RRoD from previous gen, Blu Ray grinding noise this gen. I suffered 3 RRoD before switching to PS3). The latter creating and maintaining anti-consumer business practices that have now spread to Sonys console ala paid online, putting other subscriptions behind the live paywall, using AA batteries in 2014 etc.  The latter having percieved lack of ability to create interesting or innovative IP.  The latter having an inferior OS that is confusing, unintuitive, buggy and sluggish.  The latter using deceit to market their product - Power of the Cloud, ESRam magic, used games policy which is currently put on hold.

To MS credit they have a slightly more stable online infrastructure.  And I mean slightly.  These recent hacking attacks have showed that no one is invulnerable and switching between my PS3 and 360 on CoD showed that I had periodical disconnection issues on 360 while they were non existant on PS3.  In the current gen both consoles have had times where the online is iffy but I find it hard giving an edge to MS.

I've owned both previous gen, don't have either current gen but have friends that have either console.  Ive used both thoroughly, I'm a tech savvy user who is quick to pick up new technology and I've tried most features.
