XB1 did win over PS4 last month, just not over Switch. And I assume they'll start cutting the price on the X this year, that could get the snowball running. Gears 5, Crackdown 3 and Ori 2 will no doubt sell more consoles than Forza Horizon 4 and State of Decay 2, plus I'm sure they have something we don't know about up their sleaves as well. With several big third party games coming out Q1-2 this year I just can't see the sales start going down unless second half of the year is a black hole of nothing.
Nowadays I wouldn't differentiate the 2 as much, both have solid network, MS has game pass and a high value to cost ratio while Sony have greater sales and a more solid 1st party output (especially late gen).
Yeah that was one holiday month where they were $100 cheaper than the PS4 was. Sony ran no deals at all in December. It's not like we haven't seen Microsoft win Nov or Dec before. After that it usually reverts back to the PS4 beating it in most of the other months of the year.
Ding ding, that's what I'm saying, price cuts will increase the sales. And I think we'll see official price cuts this year, not just short deals and bundles.
Yup it's quite the achievement. I started out hating on them, the DRM fiasco is one thing but XB1 was delayed nearly a full year at my country... it's just inexcusable. And the weak hardware made me choose the PS4 versions all the time, I honestly barely even touched the XB1 for years.
Na...x360 showed it that if u have the product you will sell it good
Listen the notion of a good product from microosft can sell good just in USA and Canada is utterly stupid no matter who is saying and if they are repeating 10000 times ..just close it there...consumer know how value products and mass market is pushed where and when company spend marketing for good adv.(like Sony do with soccer) The 360 sold better in Europe too
Don't wanna go again in the ps3 sales ..I've my opinion about it and the money free and super easy software hack is great part of it for their sales ..but I leave it there this thread is about xb
Ok i explained myself bad......the point is ....brands grow and decline. Apple was close to the bankrupt before the ipod and iphone. Saying XY product will forever sell better than XZY in YZ country is stupid . Period
The Cult of Phil is so strange. XB1 has been selling less and less each year since Phil took over. That isn't what success looks like.
Let's not forget their big NFL deal announcement at the X1 reveal.
Exactly. and that's what happened to both companies
I think assuming his metric for success was console sales when they put games on PC, launched a new subscription service, and managed to get stuff like Minecraft's unified system going on another console (Switch) is short sighted. Whatever his metrics were he must have met them since he got a rather large promotion within MS.
Bingo!!
Sales and bundles won't stop because the price cut is made, the bar is just lowered.
No, better than 2018, not 10 million.
Your logic is fascinatingly limited.
Look, another one.
I am not worry, in my country xbox brand is practically non existed.
So you're essentially saying that price don't matter? That's new. What about more and bigger exclusives? All this is likely what 2019 will bring.
That makes no sense, of course it matters on X1 too, once the price is low enough people won't sit at the fence and wait for the price to go down even further, the trick is to hit the sweet spot while simultaneously offer games that people want to play.
Wow, just, incredible.
Just because it's not doing as well as the competition doesn't make it a failure
