The Official PS4 Thread - Part 6

[X Knight]

question - are you logged into both usernames at the same time?

and na man, it's not even about that article, I've been thinking about this for a long time. Sony's been having issues for like more than a year now yeah? and consumers should be fully aware of that... my thought is, is the average consumer going to put their faith in a company that's not confident in themselves? maybe they are with their words, but not with their practice

you know wat im sayin?

yeah.....I get what you're saying. I just don't see it as a problem......yet.

especially if the PS4 has a strong showing this Holiday and stays strong next year.

and no.........I'm not logged into both names at the same time......lol.

I switch between the 2......depending on my mood......at that second.......

The average consumer isn't going on the internet and following what the CEO and big wigs at the company are saying

Ps4 has been having a strong run thus far but it isn't making sony a TON of money. they're like, finally breaking even or something like that

The average consumer isn't going on the internet and following what the CEO and big wigs at the company are saying

of 10 million ps4 users and the millions to come, I don't think they are all average; some of them may be the above average who will do exactlywhat you're saying they won't.

 

[Havok83]

What the heck is an above average user? Anyways, of course some will be on the internet and read up on interviews. Im one of them. The bulk of people that buy these things aren't concerned with that stuff. I have an iPad and iPhone. I have no idea who the current CEO or heads of the company nor do I care what they have to say. All I know is that I have a good product I like and that's enough to satisfy me. Thats the attitude that most consumers take with the products they buy. On the flip side there are those who are super into Apple and track down all the info, following articles, conferences, etc.. Stuff that people in the company say in some interview isn't going to have a significant impact on sales bc the vast majority of those that will purchase will have never heard it or really care

well if you're saying the average user doesn't follow the corporations that makes the products... then I guess the above average consumer DOES follow the corporations that make the products.

and trust me, if apple did have some financial issues, sooner or later you woulda heard about it, whether you were looking up on it or not. i certainly wasn't following sony when i heard about the **** they were/are going through.

 

[X Knight]

so.......very "sobering" ( for MS ) article comparing the PS4/X1/Wii U sales for the last few months......

http://wallstcheatsheet.com/technol...sony-and-nintendo-keep-strong.html/?a=viewall

If those are the actual numbers, then that's not good for the X1. looks like the price cut hasn't given a significant boost yet. and the X1 is lagging in software sales, too.

we'll see if the numbers change during the Holidays. if the X1 can't do better numbers in both console and software sales ( especially with the new bundles, SO, Halo, and CoD ), then that's really not a good sign for them.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I think we'll see a major increase in Xbone sales this holiday. They're going to close the gap by a few million units.

The Halo Collection alone is going to seriously move some consoles. And there's the bundles.

Sony has nothing going on this holiday.

yeah. that's what you'd expect.

However, if that somehow doesn't come to pass, then that's definitely not a good sign.

and even if the X1 did get the expected Holiday bounce, the question then becomes......does that momentum carry over into 2015? or will the bounce only be temporary?

guess we'll see........

 

[X Knight]

and you know what??

I think the X1 getting a nice boost, or even overtaking the PS4, for a few months is actually a good thing - competition wise.

that might give Sony the kick in the pants to not drag their feet on adding new features to the PS4.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Well, Sony themselves are kind of stumped by the PS4 sales, and are worried that it might slump.

I think with the price drop, the new features, and Halo 5 in 2015, Microsoft will do quite well.

Halo 5 alone might sell a few million Xbones.

Sony really doesn't seem to be doing anything for the holiday. Complacency, I guess.

 

[X Knight]

yeah.......it does feel like they're getting complacent.

that's why I said healthy competition is good.

let's see the full extent of the PS4 2.0 update this fall.

and I'm sure Destiny will give a nice boost to both consoles this Sept. ( but probably favor the PS4 more ).

 

[Thundercrack85]

I am getting the bundle (though I have some trepidations).

Microsoft really should have gotten that bundle, but I am guessing Bungie favors PS4.

 

[X Knight]

Microsoft really should have gotten that bundle, but I am guessing Bungie favors PS4.

you're getting the White Destiny PS4 bundle??

 

[Havok83]

Microsoft really should have gotten that bundle, but I am guessing Bungie favors PS4.

Im not sure favor so much as they want to walk away from MS's shadow. I think they want to distance themselves so they arent simply seen as a MS company in many ways that I feel Insomniac has done since going MP. You also have to factor Activision in here who is the one making the deals with Sony. It might be a way to placate them since they already have MS in their pockets with CoD. By going to the opposition and making this partnership for promotion and content geared towards them, Activision wins out as it puts them in a good position with both Sony and MS

 

[Thundercrack85]

you're getting the White Destiny PS4 bundle??

Yes. And praying I don't get one of those jet engine fans.

 

[X Knight]

Yes. And praying I don't get one of those jet engine fans.

ah. hope you don't get a problem console.

do you already have an X1?

 

[Thundercrack85]

I am considering getting the white Xbone.

I may hold out for a 1 TB standard console. But really, if I have both a PS4 and Xbone, 500 GB should probably be enough.

I figure once I have the PS4, I'll make my decision. I actually preordered it a while back.

ah. ok.

hope you enjoy your PS4 when you get it!

and yeah, I think I'm going to wait for a 1 TB standard X1 before getting one. if I get one.

Sony has nothing going on this holiday.

People been saying that since the launch. First it was Titanfall that was going to completely dominate the sales it didn't. Then it was the price cut that was going to give them the advantage it didn't. I'm not saying the Halo Collection won't but I think Microsoft is still underestimating Sony to some extent or maybe more so of Microsoft fans.

Also they have Little Big Planet 3 coming out that actually has quite a following.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Big difference between Titanfall and Halo. One is a single game, unproven IP with no SP, another is a collection of some of the best selling games of all time remastered with full SP and MP content. I could see a big bump this holiday for it.

That being said, I do agree that I doubt it'll make all the difference. There's a chance that MS may get neck and neck with Sony at some point in the future in NA, but that's about all I'll give it based on the market at this time.

 

[Iceman]

I think Halo 5 will be the 1st game that makes a significant impact and the difference in that being a 7/10 or 9/10 game that can have people hooked for years will be important. But in general it will take some kind of miracle for X1 to catch up with PS4 in overall units sold worldwide within the next couple of years, just too much momentum.

 

[Thundercrack85]

That momentum doesn't last though. Microsoft got the jump on Sony last gen, and Sony ended up selling more.

True, they might not close the gap in a year, but a few years from now, it could be anyone's game.

Provided Halo 5 doesn't suck, that is.

I think his point remains though. If it doesnt happen with Halo: MC Collection, people will say it'll definetly happen when Halo 5 drops or even TR as some seem to already be implying. It feels like it'll always be something
