Welp, my Wii U prediction is absolutely screwed >_<
Yup, people likes to say "next month should be interesting" every month regardless.
Next month, in terms of competition is not really interesting unless something extremely unlikely happens, it's a very easy win for PS4 (we've already seen hints for that with the absurd ratio of MGS5 sales)
But the last 3 months are REALLY interesting, for real this time, as XB1 will probably beat PS4 like last year but the question is by much.

Star Wars, that's the one with the Tribbles, right?
Die Hard 4 (Live Free or Die Hard):
(McClane examines a cutout of Boba Fett in Warlock's basement)
Warlock: (incredulous look on face) So you're into the Fett?
McClane: (turns away) No, I was always more of a Star Wars guy.

Star wars will happen, price drop could.
Star Wars, AC, COD, bundles potential price drop.
So many factors in place. Don't know which console will win the holidays

Star Wars was the one with the arcade game and the pilot who looked like a turtle.

MS has Fallout 4 marketing and the XBO version is getting mods first. The holiday season is a tossup, in my opinion.
3 Star wars bundles though.
On Amazon US Fallout 4 is heavily skewed towards PS4 so there's that
There is nothing strange about this silence.
PR starts when NPD is released, so in around 15 minutes.
No PR at all yet? Well, this is.... interesting. Also, when did Star Trek GAF get in here?
Sony usually go first, so, Xbox One Won...
Unless MS goes big the fallout marketing most 3rd parties tend to shift towards PS. Either way I think it will sell well on both system in the US at least it won't be noticeable
Is fallout big? All i know is that Fallout 3 sold only 375,000 in October NPD 2008...
A lot of thing can happen = price drop
Sony's gone first on months they've lost before. The silence is odd.
My excitement is over the roof! It better come fast!
Maybe, but didn't someone in this thread say Sony even had PR in April?

>90% of Console hardware sales were of bundles. Again.
No price drop. Just let the dream go.
Zhuge already said that.

PlayStation 4 wins August.
As expected. (Assuming he knows what he's talking about)

the world is ending. everyone knows except us, stuck in the thread waiting for PR that never comes.
Edit - ^ DOH!
Wow. Bundles doing very well for Sony. MS too I suppose
They also have Tomb Raider out the same day. That will be the focus. Mods won't be out until March at the earliest.
All that talk about gears, madden, rare bundles and yet ps4 wins? Don't believe it.
I know Sony advertise these but they are still not exclusives like Halo and TR, XB1 in general is a very good platform (sales wise) for FPS games, it's not like potential XB1 buyers will ignore these games, Destiny is selling very well on that platform for example, and TW3 which was advertised on XB1 is selling much better on PS4, it's not like advertisements are money in the bag for the platform holder.
Besides let's not forget FO4 is with XB1, might be the second biggest selling title of the year after COD.
Oh, good for my prediction. I almost bet on Xbox One.
I'll wait for my info before celebrating my predictions...
fixed that for ya. I'm a dreamer what can I say.
So, Madden ( like last year ) didn't help to Xbone and also that TV deal. Shit.
Yep Still got Destiny ,Star Wars, Halo ,Forza and Uncharted bundles coming up.
Who knows what else.

Zhuge, you can take 'em to water...
How you know it didn't help?
...yes, PS4 is still first, but let's see the numbers before say it didn't help...

I thought he was speculating.
Wow. Last time I predict an XB1 win. It never seems to happen.
