I accept it.

PS4 will sell more on pricing and Xbox negative publicity alone. But X1 will outsell WiiU and carve out a decent niche.

I will still have my multiplats, Xbox centric exclusives, especially Halo. I couldn't be happier.

Welcome back dude!

The Xbox One will do fine and it might even do better than PS41 it all depends on Microsoft's actions the next years!

Most people bought the WiiU because they're nintendo fans (some are just fanboys), not because of the games, since you still (1 year latter) don't have a system seller (Wind waker HD and mario party U in japan were almost that).

"As gamers, with all three consoles and PC getting better games in the future, we ALL win, regardless." . As gamer with a tight budject this is just silly, but of course if you're rich you always win.

Nice posture... you don't delude yourself in convincing that the platform you preffer will sell more (but it actually could) but concentrate on the important part, the games you want to play...

I couldn't care less if Sony sold only one PS4 and one of each SW or 100M, as long as they keep releasing games that I like to play.

That's the reason Kahn.  Persistent data is part of it.  Servers aren't cheap and have a monthly cost associated with them.  Do I personally beileve I should be paying for online in something like Street Fighter?  Nope.  That can be done Peer to Peer like the old Quake 3 days (Or earlier).  Something like the upcoming Destiny?  I can see why you'd want it persistent.  Same with the other features Sony is giving you, uploading your own streams and storing them (I think they're stored), playing someone's game, downloads are only getting higher, PS4 games are reaching 30-40 gigs now, hell even the isntant video streaming you get when checking PSN games isn't cheap and it's very costly without some kind of revenue supporting it.  Either Sony starts putting massive ads or they charge you for online multiplayer.  I'd personally be more angry if they nuetered PS+ cause that by itself is worth paying for.  My last thoughts Kahn, I'd rather they go a hybrid approach.  Dedicated servers for the games that need them, p2p for those that don't (Like RE5 and Street Fighter).

This thread is gold.

Mainly for being 100% spot on.

There's the necrobump lol!

Sometimes it has just gotta be done.

If you look at Sony's timeline in the industry, they by default tend to be the worlds choice of console almost any generation. PS3 aside, their time in the industry has largely been sheer dominance. But yes all three consoles have great things coming to them.
