I don't think there are rough times ahead at all. One of them has to win. That's just how it goes (I keep saying this). Microsoft has actually done a very good job of making the X1 relevant. Now, with the price already $349, and the bundle including two games, they should just ride this out till profit.


i think MS will surely do better this year than last year (at least in the US and most probably UK). the price is 350$ this year compared to the 500$ price they had for the first 6 months of the year last year. i can see them doing worse in March, since that was titanfall month last year. but i think they will hold up better. 

also, this thread will be very funny if XB1 wins january NPD. everybody expects the PS4 to win easily. 

Here maybe but not everywhere. When NPD will be out, many will probably go back to Earth on website like IGN/Gamespot etc...

one should always hope for some good crow eating to happen regardless of which fanbase.

either way, i fully expect the PS4 to win based on what we are seeing, but i think it will be closer than expected.

If you had to guess at the gap, what would it be? I reckon it will be around 40k.

id guess 40k-70k maybe. im no expert, and my predictions suck balls. but thats what i would guess.

I do expect some crow-eatin', just not from PlayStation fans. ;)

In terms of unit difference, I can see upwards of 75-100K difference between the two.

Really? I think it's going to be much closer than that.

edit: I forgot about the short period of time the XB1 went back up! Damn ... still sticking to 40k though.

That is incredible value!! So far, I don't see an X1 Dying Light bundle.

For those that are unaware, this bundle will not "chart". Each sale of it will count towards the regular PS4 SKU and regular Dying light game.

That is always the case with Amazon specific bundles that include something like this section:

"This bundle contains 2 items (may ship separately):

1 of PlayStation 4 Console
1 of Dying Light - PlayStation 4

"
