They'll make $349 permanent, and probably stay within a stones throw of PS4 month-to-month, as in like sub 50k difference. The momentum could be real, Dec will paint a better picture. Then they turn up the heat again in their "primetime" season. I think this is the most realistic scenario for now.
I don't think Sony will be much agressive. Price will drop in a comfortable pace.
They can't enter in a crazy price cut war, MS has deep pockets.

Dinference is next year Sony will actually be competitive and drop the price.
... I think
Aye, up until Wednesday Gameztop had 5 PS4 Skus ahead of the first XB1, including spot #1 and 2 in sales. Must have sold out of those but it looks !ike for them PS4 is still #1 in consoles.
They were tricked by CBOAT also and had to rewrite their PR.

I have a feeling the Xbox One manufacturing costs aren't as high as many think. Sony was selling the PS3 at a $120 - $200 loss for more than two years and I don't remember people giving them **** for that.
Yea, my $299 assumption is going off what they did with the PS2, where they took off $100 after a couple years on the market.

They deleted all their '2nd place PR' tweets and now forgot how to write a loser's response.
They don't release PR. More often they just tweet or have a statement when media ask for one.

No they're legit shook
Don't know why you guys can't just wait for actual numbers though, not like we won't get them.
Whats with all the firesale comments? MS removed a $120 camera and dropped the price a bit. The PS3 had bigger 'firesale' prices its second year.
Well you aren't remembering right because that was always a big talking point at the time. Since the day PS3 released.
Wow, really? I absolutely loved Jak and Daxter as a fun platformer with charming characters. I really disliked Jak 2 for alot of reasons, they were trying to emulate GTA3's success way too hard and it ruined the core gameplay of Jak and Daxter. Jak had to be all edgy, and the game was suddenly "open world" in an ugly city. Having to use cars with horrific driving physics, shoehorning garbage shooting mechanics, awful checkpoint system during missions. There were so many frustrating missions. I dont think I remember many missions in the game where I was actually having FUN. Jak 3 was slightly better. I just dont think the cars, the city and the guns fit in Jak and Daxter.
They are. Sales were good.
Holy shit, I actually made it to 100 posts in a thread and didn't get banned in the process.
:'D
I was looking forward to some of that PS Family talk.

Probably soured opinions after DA:2, and it was never as popular as Mass Effect.

Its a combination of things really. November had a very heavy release schedule, coupled with the sour taste of DA2 some people still had = a rough month.

I always assumed they were going to drop to $349 at e3. They should go ahead and do it now for total domination. People will get what their friends are playing and every Xbox under the Christmas tree is atleast 2 lost PS4 sales in the future.

I can't answer for others, but I bought mine digitally (5% off EA Access and MS reward credits I had). I think cream said it did 600k physical across platforms.

I get what you're saying, but I'm talking in terms of release interval between games.
I would love for a new ND game every year, but that's not the reality of game development anymore. Games take anywhere from 3-5 years to make from planning to shipping these days.

Price wars, competition is good! Lol. I shudder in awe at MS inevitable crazy 2015 holiday fire sales.

And yet still the highest launch for the series.
I love DA, but I don't think it's going to happen Bioware.
I see where you're coming from.
My problem is that I've never actually played the first game in the trilogy.
Jak 2 was my starting point.
I have the HD collection so I'll give that a shot someday and if the first game holds up to your praise
Didn't chart though
To be fair, I can't recall much advertisement for the game.
At least here in Canada :/
Tell that to activision, dice and ubisoft.
Competition really has lost its meaning.

I'm of the opinion most console manufacturers would prefer a single $100 drop than 2 $50 drops if at all possible as they can put all the marketing effort behind one singular push that has weight instead of two separate smaller pushes but maybe that's just me.
Ha! Injuries suck but at least you have a night's worth of entertainment at your fingertips

For me, EA has a habit of re-releasing their game with all the DLC in a couple of months. I expect a GOTY edition soon and grab that at a cheaper price.
It is not a firesale though. It is a 50 dollars price reduction after a year, with limited 70 dollar sales on certain days in limited quantities at certain retailers, with typical holliday game bundles in the mix.
Removing Kinect and selling the console at 100 dollars less does not equate to a 100 dollar discount. Despite any greivances people have with Kinect, that hardware is not cheap. And these claims of MS taking a substantial loss on the XOne holliday deals seems to be assumed, and not substantiated.
Yeah, probably they will have a emergency meeting today

Healthy console market all around! MS Blew past Wii and PS2 second Novembers and the PS4 was within 100K of the PS2s!
I find that particularly amazing, especially since if you were to add the PS3, 360's and Wiis second Novembers together, the PS4+Xbox One (Even without the Wii U) beat that total handily (940K+511K+466K).
Makes me feel better about the dying Handheld market and Wii U. Sad this was likely Wii U's biggest year unless theres some major price shifting next year.

So everybody is just speculating at the moment and nobody knows which of these two pie charts is true?
Meh, I'll come back when there are real numbers.

Activision : Call of Duty (3 studios on a 3-year release interval)
DICE : 500-strong dev team with a 2-year release interval (2011/BF3,2013/BF4,2015:Star Wars)
Ubisoft : 1000+ dev team across 8+ studios.
This is a good post.

Bought mine digitally also. The game is too good.
I despise Ubi's method of pumping games out.
Especially if AC:U is any indication of their current gen output.
