before the generation even started many opinions could be summed up like this:
| kowenicki said: Yeah US is a lock for MS next gen Sorry if that irritates you... But yeah, it's a given. |
now i'm reading through this thread (now that ps4 and x1 are both going to be $399, which will sell better?) and there are dozens of opinions that can be summed up like this:
| OttoniBastos said: Globally = PS4 USA+UK = Xone Basically the 7° gen "status quo" with the difference that this time xbox don't have 1 year advantage over PS |
i just don't get why soo many think the US/UK belong to xbox. i made this quick chart*:
Main points include:
- the sales leader changed at least twice (three times if you include the snes to ps1 transition)
- 360 barely squeaked out a win in US.
i'm sorry but the US/UK just are not a lock to anyone. to be absolutely clear i'm not saying that xbone cannot win those territories. i'm saying these regions are currently a toss up. imo, the only way to claim these territories as being owned by xbox right now™ is arrogance. these consoles are almost identical now. now it comes down to games and who delivers them. E3 cannot come soon enough.
