Xbox One Sales Prediction.

[quote user="penny84"]
[quote user="Lloydy 25"][quote user="StrangerJim"]MS is selling an all in one home entertainment system (game console, TV controller, social media, etc.) at $500 were as Sony is selling a gaming console for $400.

[/quote] C'mon. The only thing the x1 does that the PS4 doesn't is snap apps. If you want to watch tv on PS4 you only need to press one button. In fact you could argue the PS4 is more an entertainment console than the x1. It has the web browser, movies,
music, netflix, iPlayer, lovefilm, twitter and Facebook integration, streaming gameplay, remote play and Playstation Now on the way. You don't even need to buy a camera to use the voice commands. Its no wonder that the PS4 is selling at a rate over twice that
of the x1.

Not sure whether you own a ps4 as you have forgot to mention that streaming and in game recording are a broken mess and the frame rates are awful at times on the ps4 games, I have also encountered over 100 error messages while connected to psn trying to
play battlefield 4 and cod ghosts which forces you back to the xmb, Then there is as been the downtime which shouldnt happen. The psn also is no where as stable as xbox live, if you want a stable online experience xbox live is the way to go.

Not sure if you actually own either console as i have had hardly no issues on xbox one compared to issues on ps4. considering all negative feedback towards xbox one its selling well.

[/quote] PSN was down for maintenance at Christmas, but since then some people have had issues, whist others haven't. I personally haven't experienced any trouble yet. As for the frame rates, you must be joking.

 

maintenance at Christmas? so they decided to take down PSN for maintenance while thousands of PS4's were coming online to get their day one patch? what flavor of Kool-Aid are you getting? think i might need to switch.

It was down on a few occasions for me and the errors while trying to play games onine and getting kicked to xmb have been occuring more and more for a subscription service i find it very poor. I get a much more stable xbox live experience and it also very
rarely goes down. The frame rate is shocking on cod ghosts and killzone as very bad frame rate problems at times and so does battlefield 4 online at times. Be interesting when microsoft start offering the games for gold on xbox one and a service that very
rarely as issues.

 

Sales of the 360 and in particular the PS3 are still very strong.

 

Dufful first off the xbox one does not allow achievements unless you connect live first, at least that's what it tells me when I try to view them on my console. Second I never said I didn't have internet, I just don't have fast enough internet to justify
paying for a membership. Hughesnet reachs just about anywhere in the continental US. You Dufful know nothing about me or what I own and should stop trying to act as if you do.

 

Xbox One console shall VERY soon deliver a POWERFUL knockout punch to the challenger known as the Playstation 4 console folks, the Xbox One console is the Hulk and the Playstation 4 console is Sabretooth!!!

 

Ps4 will probably win as its got more of a loyal fanbase, Ive always been anti Sony as they never seem to come up with any anything original they just seem to copy ideas. Plus the d-pad priority on that controller in its fourth design just seems ridiculous.
That being said I love what they have done with the share button and playstation now sounds like a great idea (if it works).

 

Comp3lled you don't have to pay to have a silver account. You can get all the online benifets with a silver account except for playing online and using certain apps. So even if you didn't pay for live you still have to have a live profile to play games.
Even games on the 360 will ask you to sign in before playing. Now if you have hooked it up to update like you say then you stats would be up. Anyway you will never convince me. Anyone on these forums who has a silver zero score account has either started one
because they don't like using their real gamer tag or they are here to troll. Now as you have stated, you have no other gamer tag. So that only leaves one other option!

 

Ok pal. You just keep thinking that.

 

Either that or his last account was banned from the forums

 

He said this is the only account he has ever had. I call Shenanigans!

I think just like last gen, things will end up fairly even. If you remember, the ps3 was always more expensive than the 360 and sales of both were fairly even towards the end.

[/quote] yes, but the PS2 had a much bigger fanbase, so the PS3 being pricier was a mistake that sony made and look how much ground they lost because of it(and other factors). Now they are pretty even and MSFT is the one making the price mistake this time.
Like i said, this gen will go to Sony due to pricing, it does play a factor.

Yeah, I would argue the reason PS3 even got a chance to turn it around and didn't fail was because so much mindshare made with PS1 and PS2. If they hadn't been so successful with those two PS3 would probably never gotten a chance to do a turn around (failing
for 2 years is a pretty hard thing to come back from for a console... you usually end up in a downward spiral where gamers don't want you cause you have no games and game makers don't want to make games for you because you have no customers). Because Playstation
the name had been built so strong, they were still able to keep developers interested in making games so they had a chance to win back gamers.

But look at how much they lost. Put it this way, when some one who doesn't know much about games talks about a console, they talk xbox now (sometimes playstation). Playstation used to be the generic word for game machine.

[/quote] seems you forgot that the ps3 was a year later and now is far ahead.

Sony also lost ground because they launched a year later and by then MS had a good foot hold with a superior on-line experience. Pricing is not about a set value it's about perceived value. Which is better value 360 4gig at $199 or the 360 250gig for $299?
MS is selling an all in one home entertainment system (game console, TV controller, social media, etc.) at $500 were as Sony is selling a gaming console for $400.

[/quote] definitely the ps4 as a gaming system. no 1 cares about the apps that slows the bone down as much as vista did. ps4 will kill the boner by a landslide. by 5 million a year easy if not double that.

 

No I did not forget that. The main point of my statement was that I think both will sell well. You also have to remember that a huge portion of console buyers aren't like us. They don't read all the news and the certainly don't come to forums. I know people
that have bought console not know anything about them. They just seen a game they liked so they bought that machine. I actually have friends who owned last gen consoles that didn't even know the new ones were out. My point is it's way to early to tell. I hope
both consoles sell really well. It's better for all of us that way!
