Seems odd guys think 9o to 1oo million ps4s are on lock when theres nothing other than price alone that can extend the ps4s life and boost sales high enough for that to happen.
2o million for the next 3 years wouldnt put it at 9o. And that 2o million for the next 3 years, or more, is unlikely because outside price, the ps4 does not have what the Xbox 36o or the ps2 had. We can pretend it will just keep going at the same rate, but that doesnt really add up.
Is this entire post sarcasm? If I ask "what does the Xbox 360 or PS2 have that PS4 doesn't", would you give a joke response or something serious?
PS4 is trending much higher than 360. PS2 was a phenomenon and ended up selling significantly more than merely 100 million - it's over 150million now. And still PS4 isn't trending terribly far behind
that at the moment (although it will never match PS2 sales lifetime without some truly deep price cutting over its life and if VR becomes a Kinect-or-bigger like phenomenon for at least the life of the system).
90 million is pretty much without a doubt a lock, and 100 million has easily better than 50/50 odds.
Also the Xbox One has a chance U.S. wise to win even in the first 6 months of the year.
The Xbox One is going into 2o16 in a better position than it was going into 2o15. the main reason why some are doubting is the Holiday sales.
You're making a real argument right now that in the first six months of 2016, the XBO is going to outsell the PS4 in the US to the order of >>> 800,000 units? Or just that it will sell better in that six month period than the PS4 will? Neither scenario is going to happen. This first six months for PS4 is quite packed - Uncharted 4, Street Fighter V, No Man's Sky, Ratchet and Clank and a bevy of third party titles which have fairly consistently been shown to typically sell more on PS4. The big titles for XBO in this timeframe are Quantum Break,
maybe Fable Legends and if I'm being generous they have a marketing deal with Division. I'm looking through the release schedule right now and can't even hazard any other big Microsoft specific titles in that period, but if I missed one I apologize as it wasn't intentional. After that it's the same third party games PS4 has.
I mean even subjectively, it's pretty easy to know which of these two lineups in the first six months are likely to sell better. No matter which lineup we prefer quality-wise.
I mean outside those two games, the Xbox one barely had a 3rd of what gave it the win last year, not even half, and it still was relatively close with record breaking sales that were higher.
This year the Xbox One has a subjective review and preview wise, higher assortment of anticipated games starting in the first half of the year, going into the holidays. Along with another possible price drop, an arguably, depending on the final release dates, a better exclusive and Tp line up, then this holiday as well.
That's funny considering the constant refrain from hardcore Xbox One fans were that the PS4 had no gamez, and the XBO had them all. Are we at the revisionist history phase of the debate?
I don't even know how you qualified the second part of your argument. So I'm just going to say it's bullshit and move on.
The line up this year outside Halo and Gears, which just took the place of Halo MCC and ACU partially was garbage on both sides, the Tp was shaky, and a lot of it went to Fall out, COD, and SW and not much else. SW being the one to invest in, and Sony getting that deal likely made up partially for their lack luster line up of exclusives. A very good deal.
Oh so it was Star Wars that allowed Sony's
even worse PS4 lineup outclass XBO. I bet you didn't know PS4 had more exclusives, more higher rated games and sold more third party software than XBO did last year too. Objectively, not subjectively.
But hey, at least that's consistent!
