Wow I did not see this coming I figured the XB1s would stay ahead of the PS4 like all month....did not expect a back and forth tug of war like this!

Like I said earlier, the interesting thing to keep an eye on will be whether the PS4 will increase as more and more people get wind of the Slim. Lots of people (on the internet) prefer the look of the older PS4 are may well want to grab it while it's available. Those who can afford a higher price will wait for the Neo.

Yep I was debating on the XB1s but decided I might as well wait it out. Get a discounted PS4 Nep next year around the Holidays along with the Scorpio depending on the price of it. Or just get the PS4 Neo at that time and get the Scorpio for a discounted price in 2018 around the Holidays and have a huge back catalog of games to play.

But Gribb you are right my good sir this will be interesting seeing how things play out with the Slima nd Ps4 Neo.

The Neo is more clear cut in my opinion - if it launches this year. It's initial launch will be aimed squarely at those who already own a PS4 and can afford an upgrade. That second hand market is going to be popular for a while too. Retailers are not going to be too unhappy.

Sony are going to be posting huge profits for their online component next year and it won't be just because of the $10 price increase. It will be because of the Neo, the Slim being bought mass market to play FIFA/COD type games and the second hand market created by those that replace their PS4s with the Slim. Normally you would see the older consoles languish in at the retailers but because some people prefer the older version the second hand PS4 market will thrive for quite some time as people go out and replace their consoles with the Neo. In my opinion Sony are sitting pretty.

They indeed are in a good position currently in my eyes as well. I am glad to see some action personally lol. The XB1s doing pretty good so far the PS4 holding strong and with th Slim and Neo coming things look good all around!....for those two anyway....

I also like it. The rounded edges give it a more modern look while keeping the sleek design of the original.

That said, I have no interest in buying it. The NEO is where my $ is going.

Will you say that if it turns out to be expensive (as it should be,  given the specs and sony to avoid money bleeding from their currently most profitable division ) ?

Let's say 499$!

MS are definitely in a healthier place than last year but I'm still convinced we'll see a big slump next year as the launch of the Scorpio grows nearer and people begin to wait.

Yes.

I own two Titan Xs (Maxwell) and will be buying two of the Pascal Titan Xs next month. $499 is no issue for me when it comes to a console. 

Oh I'm jealous! ( I mean for your imminent purchase )

I imagined that you must be an affluent guy! lol

Can you lend me some money to finally buy the overpriced/expensive wii u?

 

Wow, a somewhat off-topic reply to a mod, I'm bold! haha

Xbox doing very bad. Guess its going to flop...

I'm seeing how far I can push my luck.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
