Sorry, I should clarify I meant summertime release. I thought about asking specific posters why they thought summer was likely but that was going to end up a longer post about the pros/cons of releasing in a crowded holiday quarter. I think it's coming too (eventually).
I think we can all agree the GTAV port is a 2014 release so the question is when in 2014
The Holiday quarter this year isn't too crowded but it does have some big releases
XB1: Sunset Overdrive, Halo 2 Ann. [leaked], Forza Horizon 2 [leaked], D4 [Maybe?], Quantum Break [Maybe?. I think 2015 more likely]
PS4: Uncharted [Maybe?. I think 2015 more likely], The Last of US Port [Rumored kind of], The Order 1886 [Maybe this will be summer?], Driveclub [Probably]
Multiplatform: Destiny, Batman Arkham Knight, Assassin's Creed Unity, COD Black Ops 3 [I think?], Battlefield Bad Company 3 [?]
So a GTAV port could fit into the holiday season but it would be fighting the marketing for all those other games. i just feel a summer release would fit better
It's weird how the situation differs across the regions. So in America you seem to still have this mad rush, and in Japan it's selling slower than the Wii U did. Weird to hear of lines to get one in some places when places like JB HiFi and others are routinely and aggressively discounting. You can get inFamous: Second Son for free if you buy one at the moment.
Still selling, of course -- a friend of mine is picking one up tomorrow. A lot of the sweet bundle deals have actually been enough to push a lot of fence-sitters over the edge. But there's no mad panic around getting one. So hearing of lines absolutely blows my mind.
I miss your avatars
Especially the snorlax one. Unless I was crazy and that wasn't you
What's MSRP for the PS4 in New Zealand btw?
