That's right, my bad. Forgot about the DLC deal. To be fair, it's hard to remember anything about that game with how little they've shown/spoken of it.

So Xbox One will outsell it worldwide?
By your statement Xbox One is in deep shit all year long until October!
Isn't it? It's like the last decade has seen multiplats being the biggest Xmas sellers and yet still people insist it being about exclusives on their favoured platform making the difference.

I recognize his handle. It wasn't sarcasm.
I remember him having a Knack avatar, that's why I assumed lol -___-
Edit: Has there been any word on Rime recently? Feels like I haven't heard about that game in awhile now

Some posted something about Rime yesterday. I think it will be at E3.

"What does sony have for the holidays?" A price drop.

And as has been pointed out, Sony releases games all though the year, while MS tends to stack their important releases in that three month window and largely ignores the rest of the year.

So, for me they have Disgaea 5 and Persona 5. That's likely enough for me to be very happy with the holiday. Plus, I honestly believe they will have The Last Guardian for this holiday. Add in a few mid level/PSN games, and it's a decent holiday for more hardcore fans.
Star Wars Battlefront could kill.
As far as matching the trio of heavy hitters from Microsoft, very unlikely.

Morpheus moved back to this year?
Maybe No Man's Sky will be a holiday title, while not retail this could still turn some heads.
Other than that Persona, R&C and if I had to guess at least one retail game that's not been announced at this point.
Also marketing for MGS and probably 1 or 2 more titles, maybe Battlefront, maybe something from Bethesda that they'll show at E3, maybe from Rockstar (though I doubt there'll be a new Rockstar game this year).

They probably won't have a really big AAA game.
Last year was just Driveclub and LittleBigPlanet 3 but it didn't seem to hurt them, so they should be fine this year with 'small' stuff like Ratchet & Clank and Tearaway Unfolded.
The PS4 has earned itself a reputation as the console to have, so people will be buying them to play Star Wars and Metal Gear regardless of the exclusive lineup.

I don't know...
They should be fine... They would be fine without any of that anyway...
- Japanese games (Persona 5, Dragon Quest Heroes, Disgaea 5, some hunter games, ... )
- Great high production value indie exclusives (No Man's Sky, Rime, The Tomorrow Children, Alienation, The Witness, ...)
- First party AAA games (Ratchet & Clank, Until Dawn, ...)
- Future announcements at E3/GC/TGS (Everybody's Golf ? Gran Turismo 7 ? Hell, even The Last Guardian !)
- Marketing deals (Battlefront ? The Phantom Pain ? )
They should be fine... They would be fine without any of that anyway...

EDIT: It's come to my attention that Playstation related official accounts have been tweeting out Star Wars images lately so that makes it very likely that Battlefront partnership is indeed with Playstation.
Is... is that X one of those funky lightsabers like what was shown in one of the Star Wars trailers? Because it reminds me of this video:

It's just assumed that Sony will have it since they had both Hardline and BF4 previously. MS locked down yearly CoD, Sony locked down yearly EA shooter.

Can't be in deep shit because the preseason don't count.

Here we go again...
I think this is a good comment. It would be relatively easy for Sony to have sat on eg Tearaway and EGTTR until later in the year, but they aren't. So either they are confident they have something in their pocket, or confident that they can manage without, and backing third parties with comarketing deals.

The only thing Microsoft threw at Sony was discounts. But if the console war was about price, the Wii U would be winning. It isn't.
This year Microsoft has Halo 5 which is far more significant than their discounting tactics last year. Even Tomb Raider is. Sunset Overdrive and FH2 - whilst great games - were never going to shift systems.
That's not what people were saying last year though.
September seems a perfect fit to go along with Metal Gear Solid.

Damn this thread showed up late this month we won't know until after E3 honestly, so give it a few months. I hate to say it, but at least Sony(even Nintendo) takes advantage of the entire calendar year. MS has this weird assumption(Saracsm mostly) that people only play games for 3 months late into the year, and never release shit during the post November-July months..

'People' were saying that SO and FH2 were going to significantly shift systems?
I dont know why people keep asking the same question over and over again, seems to me that PS4 has alot more games coming out later this year then its competitors..

Even if Sony doesn't have anything at all for the holidays, the lead will bot be erased. It's impossible at this point for MS to catch up and overtake them.
Also, I think it's time that companies relook at their releasing strategies instead of going for the traditional holiday releases. Sales is definitely going to be good during those few months so why not try to make more people buy during the first 9 months of the year, especially when systems are leas likely to be discounted or bundle, leading to higher margins.
essentially battlefront. but its the star wars year!
(sony has been coasting tho, but it does have the somewhat already critical mass advantage)
EDIT: sony spreads its first/exclusives out. we have bloodborne/order already and now rapture for summer. third parties rule holidays. except halo sony has no halo counter. But well they never had one.

Lool and really chartzz...
Wii U has had both(Going by praise of exclusives) for a while yet look at where it is.
Also in UK PS4 won the holiday. How do u explain that?
