Buttons for on the go gaming apparently not such a big deal for the mass market.

Agree. Uncharted also already cut cost on production for damage control, taking out key features like donut drake.Another nail in the coffin of single player linear narrative games.
Was checking the April Amazon monthly to see how well R&C is doing there (quite well), I was really surprised at the XB1 current situation.
Anyone from Gamestop around that could give us a sense of how well the $100 trade in offer is working there (even anecdotally)? Because right now, if the month continues looking like this (and second IF - IF Amazon is indeed representative), it's borderline catastrophic imo.
So far it looks like the QB bundle is not really making up (on Amazon) for the GeoW bundle being phased out, even at $299 with the "temporary" price reduction

I doubt it will be permanent. You need the price to expire for a couple of weeks, so they can put out major PR "Xbox One permanently drops to 299."lol, i think you'll be right. Honestly I can't believe its reviewing higher than QB.
Saw an Xbone commercial last night on AMC and it states the price is $299, didn't even say "for a limited time". Wonder if this is the new permanent price.

I'm thinkingOk so, NPD is out in 3 days. I know i already asked about it, but since we are almost here, i was thinking, what do you think The Division will perform on PS4 and XBO as better launch of the gen?
Where will The Division chart for both console?
I guess The Division (XBO) at number #8, between Destiny and Advanced Warfare for PS4, and The Division (PS4) at #4, between Advanced Warfare and Fallout 4 for XBO.
They included this kinda vague pie chart
Is that pie chart even remotely accurate ?
I'm thinking
1. Call of Duty: Black Ops III (PS4) 2,140,000
2. Call of Duty: Black Ops III (XBO) 1,935,000
3. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (XBO) 1,449,000
4. Fallout 4 (XBO) 1,274,000
5. Fallout 4 (PS4) 1,264,000
6. Star Wars: Battlefront (PS4) 1,258,000
7. The Division (XBO)
8. Destiny (PS4) < 1,191,000
9. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (PS4) 1,160,000
10. Assassins Creed: Unity (XBO) < 1,153,000
PS4 version will just barely miss the top 10, but still do more than Titanfall.
You think The Division will sell more on XBO? :O
Well, in UK the split between the two version was well in favour of PS4, (54% VS 45%).
I expect a smaller gap in USA, as usual, but PS4 should still be easy the best selling version, imo.
Like 52.5% PS4 VS 47.5% XBO:
PS4 - 1.32m
XBO - 1.18m
TOT - 2.50m
I'm thinking it'll be more even in the US on a pure software front, and then bundles will push it in favor for the XB1.
Any reason to believe this month won't be another massacre like Feb and Jan?
I don't understand what you mean be massacre? Of what?
~100k difference between PS4 and XB1, with Wii U irrelevant as per usual.
The sad thing is that this is a given. 2:1 would provoke emotions, but even a 100k gap is "so what territory" now.~100k difference between PS4 and XB1, with Wii U irrelevant as per usual.

Seems like it will be a flow of clear Ps4 wins, accompanied by a few close wins and some large ones. VR will only push this tendency further.
Maybe an incremental Xbox could make a dent, as long as there is no Sony counterpart, or a weaker PS4k in power or concept.
If, and that's still possible, there comes an incremental PS4 and nothing from Microsoft it will get ugly. After all, NPD is still xbox's strongest territory. I don't think things went better worldwide since we got some numbers a few months ago.
A lot will also rely on which platform scoops up the third party holiday marketing bonanza. What will be 2016s Star Wars, Destiny or Ass Cred double pack?Yea. I doubt Xb1 wins April even with QB. The next game to help push sales in Gears.

April might work. At least QB is a great exclusive game, and the white xbox looks really nice.Yea. I doubt Xb1 wins April even with QB. The next game to help push sales in Gears.
You are right. It will be interesting to see how matchmaking goes.A lot will also rely on which platform scoops up the third party holiday marketing bonanza. What will be 2016s Star Wars, Destiny or Ass Cred double pack?

I have this funny feeling that Sony is going to get the Titanfall 2 marketing deal...
... it will be a massacre.God I'm already imagining the salt and meltdowns...
Avatar bet time? It's been a while...I have this funny feeling that Sony is going to get the Titanfall 2 marketing deal...

One will get Titanfall and the other one Mass Effect.Avatar bet time? It's been a while...
I bet MS keeps TitanFall marketing, but Sony gets marketing for their new third-person game.
