How limited will Xbox One and PS4 CE's be.

So, as many other members here i have ordered the ps4.

For cross generational games, i already decided i will buy the ps4 version CE. Because the game will be superior, and i want to start my ps4 collection.

Specifically, im talking about Assassins Creed and Watch Dogs, two franchises that are or will be very collectible.

Of course there will only be a tiny amount of ps4 and xb1 hardware sold comparing to current gen. Also, most people will spend their budget on the new console and launch games, leaving little money to get also the CE!

Now, im wondering, how limited will the ps4/xb1 version of the CE be?
I can imagine this will be quite collectible later on.

I think 3 scenarios can happen

- Those CE are actually very limited and will sell out, making it expensive to get them later on.
- Those CE are limited, but people wont have money to buy them. They will be sold at a discount, but will be collectible later on since the amount produced will be small compared to the user base a few years later (for example this gen, AC1 statue europe CE).
- They will be overproduced, just like most CE this gen.

I wondering how you guys think about this.

hmmm good question. Did the Wii U have any CEs and were they over produced?

I cant even think off a single WII U CE (on nintendo consoles there are almost no ce released).

I think they will be overproduced because gaming is still getting bigger.
The producers will make more CEs because the demand is higher and they just see money.

wii u had assassins creed join or die anyhow

i tjhink ce will be mass produced for next gen....in time

but lets look at what is coming up

x1 day one editions will be plentiful as will the ac and watchdogs next gen ce on launch day

many companies will not do a ce for release as their is no guaranteed fan base on release so look out for any ce from company's not listed above on next gen launch as they will be the rarest

driveclub and killzone steelbook editions will prob be the lowest produced and any other steelbook editions for either console

i just do not see either sony or ms doing collector edition for any first party games as in their mind people will spend their money on the console and their is no guaranteed purchase of the games as user base cannot be established until say 6 months after release so expect many ce's after the first 6 months

I predict the quantities of CE's will be comparable to this generation, maybe not initially at launch, but later on in the consoles life. Some games will be in limited numbers, others will be way over produced. Not much else will change IMHO.

For the record, I plan on sticking with the XB1 as my main console (like the 360 this gen) and have the PS4 for exclusives. I'll be getting the AC4 & Watch Dogs CE's.
