January 2016 NPD (U.S. Hardware) Predictions - Closes February 9th

It never was so easy to dominate the wall of shame.

Also: what will be interesting with the xbox/win10 double strategy is the pricing. If MS really wants to compete against Steam they have to enter the sales rat race. Cross buy would be difficult then, as console gaming is still heaven pricing-wise for publishers.
And if they want to install agressive pricing for console gaming, too, this might hurt Sony badly, but I cannot imagine that the big publishers would be happy.

After the "terrible" October the PS4 had with it being price cut month, I would not be surprised if it actually did worse then what the aggregate has it at.

Why would consoles be doomed if Gaf is right? Aside from lol Wii U it matches up basically exactly with what last year's results were, and consoles came out of that year mostly fine.

The good news is that this should be one of few months to be so "bad". Feb has SFV, March will have the Uncharted rush beginning, and April will be all about Uncharted/Ratchet/Quantum Break.

The massive November and December showed October's sales were just moved up, no? Why would that mean the price cut is ineffective in general? Wouldn't it just further support January being dead?
