yup they aren't selling consoles on consignment , shipped to them means sold , its then up to amazon walmart to figure out how to sell them .
only if MS price drop results in ms selling more , they don't need to react until they have a reason too , they are in the drivers seat . this thing is going to stay at $399 until their sales slow .
@ThatOneGuyThere we'll see how the xmas sales go for xb1 , they may be forced to get more agressive next year , see if sony wants or needs to follow
cool hope its a smooth update
i agree as well , we haven't seen sony's power advantage yet and maybe we never will outside of ps4 exclusives . i could careless about one being upscaled 900p and the other being 1080 native , most people can't see the difference . when i see the ps4's muscle on the screen thats when it will matter .
this could have been a launch game and no one would have questioned its looks . halo 5 is going to be amazing .
why would sony drop the price when they just had the 2nd highest (US) sept sales numbers in console history at $399 . you'll see a xb1 price drop long before you see a ps4 price drop , as long as the sony numbers stay good there is no need for them even to respond to what MS does .
if they don't move one of them out they must not have confidence both of them are good , and i haven't heard anyone say anything bad about bloodborne . people are saying they aren't the same genre they look pretty close to me , action/horror . one of them will get moved probably the order .
not sure if there are enough people who only play certain genres , only so much money to spend on games .that being said i don't think BB and the order are the exact same genre but they are pretty close , i would call them both action/horror . one has to be moved and it will probably be the order unless they don't have confidence its going to be very good .
doesn't sound like there is going to be a mcc bundle , not sure how a halo fan could miss mcc to much value and looks too good on xb1 .
great looking console and a beautiful fun looking game , you can't really go wrong with this bundle .
if it works well its an awesome feature , we'll see how it goes .
experience building a streaming service convince them ps now is the future
@yarbie1000 Sony's overall health and strategies going forward should be important to gamers as a community .
phones aren't gaming related
xb1's biggest problem probably is the perceived power advantage . when they dropped the kinect and the price in june they had the chance to go cheaper than the ps4 , equaling the price was actually conservative . they could have had the cheaper console with the big exclusive this holiday . if sales in the US (especially) don't get really close to the ps4 look for a price drop whenevr their next big game drops in 2015 .
ps- i say "perceived power advantage" ...
you got nabbed with having an opinion about sony that isn't in the majority , i got dinged for saying i thought driveclub was being overhyped and was probably a 6 or 7 , boy was i wrong . people talk crap about xb1 all the time and the never get flagged , even when its so obvious they don't believe it and are just trolling .
The way Ms is doing it so smart , releasing small updates to the preview members then they are able to fix bug before it goes to everyone . God help sony if the big update comes out broken , might take them months to fix it . not saying its going to happen just a fear .
i was thinking , not a ps4 or xb game until the 12th spot , next gen console gaming deadmeat in japan at least right now .
most people that think it matter could'nt tell the difference between 900p upscaled and 1080p native on a 55" at 10 ft . some people can tell the difference if the tv is larger or you sit closer and the difference from 720p upscaled and 1080p native . i know this from experience in my home not conjecture . i would buy a system for the games on that system but thats just me .
how does it help them to give you the numbers ?
@Ballsack what? this is a business , pr using numbers to sell more consoles is as old as the hills , and if the numbers look bad compared to sony why (from a business standpoint) would they ever release them .
@ThatOneGuyThere Taget , walmart , amazon aren't in the business of help ms inflat number .
