The PS4 And The Xbox One Will Both Lose November 15th

The PS4 and the Xbox One have the same release date in the US, and pretty much the same release schedule everywhere else. It’s going to be a tough, bloody holiday season for both consoles, and ultimately neither will come out the winner. Here’s why.

It is possible that these system will suffer a similar crisis that the Wii U is experiencing. But I think one factor cannot be over looked. Nintendo basically burned third party developers with the Wii. The Wii was popular but a game couldn't be developed on a 360/PS3 and then appear on the Wii. Which then lead onto one of the issues they have now with the Wii U(which isn't helped that Nintendo went after the tablet crowd with a tablet controller and did a horrible job of explaining what the Wii U was to the mass market).

IamTheStorm813911d ago

I don't agree with this at all.

Wii U is widely considered overpriced - PS4 and XBO are not overpriced. $400 and $500 isn't cheap, but both pack very powerful hardware (and XBO with Kinect) meaning the price is in line with what you get. The same really cannot be said for Wii U.

PS4 and XBO will not suffer from lack of support from 3rd parties, meaning that while exclusives continue to be developed, PS4 and XBO will see a steady stream of games that gamers want to play.

PS4 and XBO will continue to cater to and make happy the multiplayer crowd, something Nintendo still lacks big time.

Wii U doesn't get games day and date with the PS3 and 360, something the PS4 and XBO won't suffer from.

I could go on and on, but I do not believe there are too many similarities between PS4/XBO and the Wii U.

MasterCornholio3911d ago

I agree with you that the PS4 and the XBOX One will not flop in the market like the Wii U.

Im expecting the PS4 to sell the most followed by the XBOX One and then the PS3 and 360 with the Wii U falling behind. These are just my predictions for the holidays.

Tales RPG addict3911d ago

Lose are you fucking kidding me. Lets see PS4 launches in 32 territories, M$ launches in 13 territories. Who will sell more at launch SONY duh

MasterofMagnetism3911d ago

Not only launching in more countries but also at a cheaper price too. Sony will definately sell more consoles.

MysticStrummer3911d ago (Edited 3911d ago )

Not only launching in more countries at a cheaper price, but also with more powerful hardware and more features that aren't hidden behind a paywall.

I can buy a PS4 with two games, and even without PS+ I can be playing five or six games in the next few months, online and off, without buying another title.

PS4 is the choice for planet Earth.

alexkoepp3911d ago

Hmmm, PS4 launches in 32 territories and produced 1 million units, Xbox in 13 and produced 3 million units... who sells more? The number of launch territories is basically irrelevant, there are other important factors.

SwordandShield3911d ago

3 million?? Where the hell did you hear that or are you just making that up?? Is that why they are giving FIFA 14 for free because they are so far ahead in preorders??

avengers19783911d ago (Edited 3911d ago )

When did MS give there release dates, cause I have not seen any.

Chaostar3911d ago

Did Microsoft announce the Xb One release date?

curious... if a game leaves PS+, does it make it unplayable if you have already claimed it before it leaves? I know on the XB side, games leaving Gamepass are no longer playable. You need to pay for them to be able to continue playing after you installed them from GP.

The 3 monthly “free” games you keep as long as you have PS+ subscription. The PS+ library is like Netflix. They rotate stuff out and replace them with other titles.

MrNinosan1h ago

Yes, PS+ Extra/Premium games are unplayable after the leave the service, just like GamePass and Netflix.
PS+ Essentials games are available as long as you have an active PS+ account.

Wonder if Horizon ZD leaving gives credit to those remake rumours

Sigh. If true…another remake that’s not Bloodborne.

SimpleDad2h ago

Probably yes cause of a remake.

Skuletor1h ago

I still remember them giving that one away for free, regardless of if you were subscribed to Plus or not

ApocalypseShadow27m ago(Edited 25m ago)

They did. It was during the pandemic and the "play at home" initiative.

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition. Sony gave away a lot of games just to push gamers to stay home and not get infected by COVID.

Eonjay35m ago

I think you're right.
There is a separate Bloodborne rumor by the remake is allegedly scheduled for next gen.

Glad I played sundered and the messenger, both great 2d games

If there was one PC version that should have existed it’s Dreams

I’m super glad they will be going back to something more traditional gaming wise.

Cacabunga4h ago

I’m sure they’ll find something creative to implement like Tearaway on vita. What a gem 💎 that thing was!!!

Abear212h ago

My dream was DreamsVR and creating landscapes, characters, and sculptures using that amazing toolbox in vr, that would have been something imo.

Amplitude58m ago

It did but it came out as an update LONG after the game was essentially dead

P_Bomb1h ago

Dreams PC was the dream. Woulda given the game a much needed boost. Here’s hoping they follow it up well.

phoenixwing44m ago

If sony had any sense they'd be making a pc version pronto

Elden Ring Killed Gaming For Me & It's About To Do It Again

Saad from eXputer: "Utilizing its myriad strengths and masterful design, Elden Ring ruined gaming for me in a way I'll always be thankful for."

GhostScholar6h ago

It sounds like you’re just an eldenring fan and not so much a fan of games by and large. Which theres nothing wrong with.
