Thought the gap would have been closer with PS4 and XBone on FIFA with the advertising and anecdotal evidence but that gap is real and not closing.
Sony just need to match MS with an unofficial CoD bundle and any immediate "threat" of MS gaining momentum there will have been cancelled.
I do now wonder though what impact Halo will have on XBone hardware with that Destiny/Halo combo a few weeks ago. Surely a fair few will have taken advantage of that, lessening the effect of sales in November when the game releases.
Dependant on hardware sales this last week, any threat might of already been negated.
Just like madden in the US, there is a large correlation between players of FIFA and Players of COD.
With thousands of destiny players soon desperate for a replacement, plus the FIFA audience looking foe their shooter fix...
I still think COD will have a higher attach rate on XB1, but I think its chance at "turning the tide" is all but gone. Sony might be seeming to lie back on its laurels on here, but after seeing how they went all out at Eurogamer, easily eclipsing Microsofts presence there, im pretty much sure they are not going to give them an inch.
Furthermore, I honestly believe after this hoilday season is over, this generation will be decided.
