Im gonna predict ps4 will sell 310k and xbox one will sell 220k


That sounds like a very low number for PS4 considering the Destiny bundle was available for pre order for quite some time before launch. 

Not to mention MGS5 getting the lion's share of it's sales on ps4 as well and the continuing high place on the charts all month long.

 

Last year when Destiny launched with the white ps4 bundle, ps4 sold 536,000 consoles I believe.

While I'm fairly certain it won't reach that number this time, I am pretty confident it'll sell considerably better than your prediction.

 

I'm predicting a modest but healthy 350,000 - 376,000

I doubt it because the takken king will not be as big as the first destiny and that metal gear didnt have a bundle like batman did os i think it will sell less than june.

There are actually 5 PS4 skus ahead of the competition, just wow.

If Sony can sustain that though October then MS are going to struggle to come anywhere near closing the gap as much as last year. Sony might even pinch October at this rate and November is likely to go to Sony anyway.


Well, MS is probably doing another move this holidays, maybe another "timed" price cut or something else.

I don't think so, not an across the board temporary price cut like last year. They learned that lesson with the new year collapse in sales. It'll either be a permanent price cut, or just a whole bunch of special deals, special bundles, retailer gift cards, all the holiday season specials but perhaps a bit more special than usual. There is just no way they are going to bring out a "here's a $50 price cut that will only last until 1 January 2016" they're never going to try that on again.

I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that the Forza bundle is the top bundle for XB one since it is a special console. But it is good for Forza's exposure in the USA. Maybe they can attract a few more people to the franchise, even if it's mostly just expanding the horizons (see what I did there?) of the main Xbox fanbase.

Fallout 4, Tomb Raider.... Maybe The Division? 

 

EDIT : No, The Division is 2016... So surely some "basic" bundles with already released games. 



GribbleGrunger on 25 September 2015

I wouldn't be too sure about those bundles ending the PS4 dominance. It depends on what they are and what Sony do, but it IS intriguing and that's really good advertising.
