100 dollars a month, play any game you want, type of subscription?
Because that is fantastic. Other people may not like it, but it would be my jam. I already spend nearly that much anyways...
Ps4 outsold xb1 again, no real surprise there. Had to do some real digging to find any numbers. If I am remembering right it was 187 to 131, US sales in July.
Sony's average over the last few months to get to 10m has been 750k worldwide, so assuming july sold the average worldwide, the US accounts for Less than 25% of the playstations overall sales. That actually bodes pretty well for Sony going forward. If the US craps out at least they have other markets to fall back on.
And just for fun, some pretty basic math.
750k for August - the 250k for August 10th we know about puts Sony at 10.5m.
Double it for Destiny (imo, could be wrong) in September for 12m, and back down to 750k for October, 12.75, and then triple it for November and December, so 17.25m for the end of the year.
Now for MS we don't have any numbers really. 1.8m Us sold in 2013, 1.2m sold everywhere else. 60% of sales in US.
So let's say MS is at 5.2m (pretty generous), that means 2.2m sales in 2014 in 7 months. 314k per month.
So 5.5 at the end of August, 1.5 times for Destiny 471k, 6m total.
Back to normal for October, 6.3 total. Triple for November and December Brings us to 8.184m.
Would give Sony a 9 million console lead at the end of the year.
I don't really think MS will get a giant boost from Destiny at all. It's being marketed as a Sony game. I would have said COD would give MS a bigger boost, but Ghosts sold more on ps4...
Edit: and for the record, triple the sales in December and November would be an absolute disaster for both consoles. For example, last December Ps4 and xb1 were both around 900k, xb winning the month by 60k. I was just trying to show how simple it will be for PS4 to get over 17m this year. The lead will he enormous if Sony hits 20m, which isn't exactly out of the question, depending on how many consoles Destiny can sell for them.
