Good month for PS4. Nice to see GoW having epic legs.
Remember XB had $50 price cut.
So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.
PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.
Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.
Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

I think Fortnite will at least move a bit more Switch's and Xbox's off of the shelf cause of the drama, but just a small increase I bet. The reason why I think this is largely due to the MSM getting involved and reporting on the story, if it weren't that part of the story I don't think it would of had really any effect. |
All that crossplay stuff is a joke... Plus if anything, it ll just make getting a PS4 version of the game even more important, if thats where your friends are.
More likely to be a small boost to PS4s :P
You know whats consumer friendly? that you dont need to pay to play free to play games online on the PS4.
That is a million times more impactful than this crossplay non issue.
Im not sure what will happend once nintendo starts chargeing for online... are free to play games allowed to be played online without a subscription?
nintendo.com says "other games will vary.", meaning it could go either way (ei. no fortnite without a subscription).
On the xbox you need a subscription to play fortnite.
Soundwave said: XBox One is starting to find some traction in non-holiday months ... the XBox One X has been a large boost for them, think mid-gen hardware refreshes are basically going to become the norm now. |
Correct me if wrong, but isn't X1S the less expensive console since beginning 2018? I mean, sure the X1X got some credit here, but i realy think the low price of the X1S is the main reason for xbox number of sales, prety sure they managed to make bundles $50 cheaper than ps4.
Switch is keep momentum without big release in first 5 months of year, impresive.
Good sales all around but i am still surprised ps4 can still manage an almost 100k difference against xb1 even with the xb1X.
PS4 still crushing with its powerful first party lineup. Sony definitely low-balled their fiscal year shipment target.

Quality of software goes a long way.

I don’t get this logic. 2017 has been terrible for X1. After the Scorpio announcement X1 sales tanked hard...now things are back to normal. That’s all. |
That and Microsoft keeps having sales on the Xbox One throughout the year. As someone said in another thread it would be a time-saver if they just announced the times that the Xbox One wasn't on sale. In May, for example, for a week all S bundles were marked down $50.
ok, so If Detroid sold 1M in 2 weeks; and GOW outsold it on May can we say GOW sold around 1.5M-2M in May??
