It looks like this thread has become this weekend's crazy-collector.
lol. How some people reach their.... opinion.... it's a great thread to read
Saying that, here's my completely unfounded and uneducated opinion....
Of course the XBone will outsell the PS4 in November. Sony don't care, they're making money.
MS on the other hand, it's like their final stand. imo of course. Drop the price and throw in a pile of games. I think we can all agree they're selling the console at a loss, how much I don't know. I wonder how much they're having to pay the publishers for those pack in games as well. $15 a game? MS could be looking at a loss anywhere between $50 to $100 at a wild guess. Crazy times.
On a per user / buyer level, will they ever make that money back? If you get a bundle with 3 games, you probably won't be buying anymore games until next year. How many of these will get Gold? I imagine Gold (and PS+) has a very high attachment for early adopters, but these are bargain buyers, not necessarily the ardent gamers.
Are MS just bringing forward all their December sales to November?
So many questions. Looks to me like Phil was tasked with getting the XBone into as many homes as possible over Xmas. Does make me think they'll be some big decisions next year, on the corporate level, based on these results.
NPD threads are going to be hilarious for the next few months.
