The PS4 used to be a better value than the Xbox One. Not anymore. Xbox One with a free game $349. PS4 with one game $460.Even an Xbox One with Kinect and 2 games (AC bundle) is cheaper than that.

What you gonna do Sony? Ball is in your court.

the don't need to do shyt. 2 price cuts in a year and removal of shyt. The competition has outsold you despite all of this.

they trying to spend their way out of an L and it's not working. People don't want to feel as if they are buying something weaker and many haven't forgotten that shyt they tried to pull.

But those waiting on a Larry get a great deal, I thought they'd do a Halo MCC bundle at 399 or 349 and it looks like this is their way of doing it.

1 price cut. the Kinect being unbundled wasn't a price cut because they removed an item from the SKU and the original bundle was still available for the $500.

Ask a random person on the street if they know the visual difference between 900p upscaled to 1080p and native 1080p. People don't really care about console "power" like that which is why the PS1, PS2, Wii, all won their respective console generations. All were the weakest hardware in their generations. Even the PS3 had a respectable showing despite being outperformed in most 3rd party games last generation.

I can't even lie this made me and think about getting a X1 this year but I still can't justify the purchase. Wii U is going to be my number 2 console going forward.

In terms of what Sony has to do....Not a damn thing. PS4 momentum isn't going to come to a screeching halt over another console being cheaper, that isn't how it works and you know that.

You forgot the 449 promos? This is really the 3rd price cut for the system already.

And it's not about the random word on the street anymore, people are connected/online. The word of mouth from a social media perspective has also hurt the Xbox brand. The game has changed and while most Xbox fans who still supported MS after their bullshyt will cape no matter what, many chose to look elsewhere and it shows.

PS3 caught up because it was a worldwide brand, Xbox is not and will never be.

Man if i didnt have qualms about this(next) gen id be in. I want the wii u, im already lookin at my ps4 like at times (will change once feb hits tho). I like what ms does soft ware wise tho. Not sure if i have faith in future xbox exclusives ,to meet what i usually like, to get it

sony will probably just bundle a game in, leave at 399 and call it a day.

Exactly. PS3 caught up because the rest of the world picked up the slack and Xbox couldn't connect with that global audience the way PlayStation could. PS3 still got stomped on in the US by a significant margin

Yup. MS needs to be very careful. Launch owners got fukked so hard it was rediculous and they risk devaluing the console at this rate.

October looks to be another Victory for the PS4, but God forbid if Xbox loses November with all of this.

Check the sales figures moron.

That definitely isn't happening again. The 360's launch advantages were not there this time. And many saw what happened last year during the reveal and E3. Couple that with the digital age we live in and that margin the 360 had will not exist here in the states this gen. They are devaluing the console by doing this shyt, but I get the desperation.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Hold up, this is only temporary for the holidays and not permanent?

edit: and the bundled games are digital only?

 

[thaKEAF]

tempting but seriously theres nothing over there that is calling my name

 

[Jplaya2023]

Let me know when any of these consoles can restore the functionality of their previous generations

- copying media, music, etc.. to the hard drive.
- streaming the above from the hard drive
- backward compatibility to earlier generations hardware disc without the need to download from the play or MS store
- free online gaming (ps3)
- 4 USB port (60 gig triple) not needing to buy a hub

Once these requirements are met and the price falls between 250-300 let a nikka know.

a 12 year old kid could give a fuk about a price drop. Mommy i want a PS4 like jimmy. kids aint looking to save mom & pops money. it will help but not much. like Rek said word of mouth is mofo. and right now the X1 looking funny in the light. Word to 2k15 face scans
