Cool, can't wait for official comparison lists, like this gen



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

 think you underestimate brand loyalty. The 360 needed to release a year early. The original Xbox only had 20 million sales and no prior cosoles to build off of. The Xbox One has an extremely dedicated 80 million. Hasn't beaten them in America. That majority shows just how feeble the Sony brand loyalty is. No one in the mass market cares about most Sony exclusives. Most people have never heard of Uncharted, Sony's second most successful franchise, which isn't saying much. No one in the mass market knows what Infamous is. They don't know what Killzone is. They don't know what LBP is. But they know Halo, and Gears of War, and Kinect Adventures. Their fans are attached to the most successful multiplatform franchise of the generation, Call of Duty. Now they have Titanfall. If you think that doesn't matter, I can't help you. And they can't easily take anything away. Sony had GTA as a Sony exclusive before the PS3. That will never happen again. That's why half their install base defected to the 360. Now FFXV and KH3 aren't exclusive. The Xbox fanbase isn't going anywhere.

The only thing im going to call u out on is saying people know Xbox exclusives over Playstation exclusive.

Gran Turismo sells just as well as Halo

Uncharted sells just as well as Gears of War

God of War sells just as well as Fable

Sports Champions sells just as well as Kinect Sports

Resistance sells just as well as Left 4 Dead

LittleBig Planet sells just as well as Forza

Killzone sells just as well as Crackdown

InFamous sells just as well as Alan Wake

Motorstorm sells just as well as Viva Pinata

Ratchet & Clank sells just as well as Banjo-Kazooie

Heavy Rain sells just as well as Kinect Disneyland Adventures

EyePet sells just as well as Kinectimals

Singstar sells just as well as Kinect Joy Ride

Heavenly Sword sells just as well as Kinect Star Wars

The only exclusive that Playstation hasnt matched is Kinect Andventures.

The big question here is... why?

- Your games are not better, they are different and well they are, though more in the launch day, less overall than sony's.
- Who cares about the TV functions? that's so not worth $100
- The Kinect is not a need

From my point of view, Playstation offers a better hardware for a cheaper price.

Did anyone really expect a microsoft rep to say anything else

Well I think that's because it's a bundled game, mainly, well I think we all agree. lol

The bolded coupled with third party titles is what America will be looking at. Not even Michael Pachter will be able to bitch this gen about third party ports, because the PS4 will be the lead console.

He said "I think"  - so he already doubts it.

 

Then he said Kinect and Voice a few times

 

epic fail.

 

So no.

Games will decide in long-term view. Microsoft do much of the Nintendo way. Optional Kinect would make the XBOne much cheaper as Wii U is in terms of price much to expensive.

As price is less important than which console your friends have, XBOne will do good but could do much better. Outside the US Kinect is more disappointing than fun.

Can't say I agree with him.

It's basically more powerful hardware versus Kinect 2.

And also, Sony games versus some 3rd party exclusives, long term one is clearly the winner of that battle

Sony is charging for online to help improve their network....

But yes, the Microsoft rep is not going to say that he thinks the PS4 is a better product

i agree!
