Xbox One will win his gen?

No, you are crazy! 138 30.20%
 
PS4 for the Win! 211 46.17%
 
Nah it's the Wii U who will win this gen! 41 8.97%
 
Definitely the Xbox One! 67 14.66%
 
Total:457

I can see it or the WIi U coming in first with PS4 taking the last spot.
Lots of reason why and I don't have time to write a book on it atm.
They just seem to have the better games imo.
If I didn't swear to never buy a MS console, I would be getting one this year. However I see nothing on PS4 to warrant a purchase yet. Maybe at 199.99

This thread is hilarious. Does the OP not understand why the playstation has been, and will continue to be the most dominant console brand in gaming history. Its all about market share (sony competes and wins the majority of the 3 markets microsoft cannot), and longevity we all know after the 3 year mark microsoft sputters out whereas sony continues to roll out titles, and support their system 7-10 yrs on average.


Sony has literally said that their big studios have moved to only the PS4. PS3 will not have support from them.


Perhaps you minsunderstood what i was saying im referring to the average console life/support for sony vs microsoft historically.  Not how many years after the console cycle is over, and as such thus far its been 7-10 years for sony vs 3-5 years for microsoft on average.

Well if you want to nit pick about things than Technically Microsoft didn't stop supporting Xbox 1 until 2010 when Xbox Live supported ended for the console, the last game for Xbox 1 was also sent out in 2009. This would indicate to me that Microsoft DID infact support Xbox 1 for 9 years and Xbox 360 is still going. 

Hate to burst that little bubble there. 

How about we take alook at this from any approach you want and the answer will be the same. Nintendo and Microsoft went from 20 - 25 million lifetime sales to 100 million and 80 million plus, whilst Sony crashed and burned turning an incredible market share into equal and lesser marketshare with its two competitors. 

What happens next gen no one will know, however, logic is fairly simple and 100% available for anyone to see. 

I dont even where to start with this ridiculousness. Nintendo's success was an anomaly based on price and marketing, and we seen how long that lasted about as long as Microsoft's lead.  Who btw had a year head start over both consoles and a 18 month lead time in europe, and Sony with a more expensive system came back and beat them (talk about embarrassing).

 

Until microsoft can compete outside of the us they will always lose its just a matter of the numbers.  Also for clarification when i say support im talking about continuing to put out and sale hardware and software at a consistent level which they didn't do in either iteration of their console cycles. They screwed over people who bought the original xbox after 3 years cause they wanted to get the drop on sony this gen, and as a result they put out faulty hardware and screwed their supporters again and like last gen they started to peter out cause they dont have the fanbase or studio support like sony does its in the numbers look it up.

Anomaly, price and marketing aside, Nintendo are 20 million units ahead of PS3......................

Microsoft did not stop supporing Xbox to create the 360, they were forced into that by Nvidia. 

Here is a simple fact i will repeat 150 million PS2 sold, 24 million xbox sold. 

80 million PS3 sold, 80 million xbox 360 sold?? Which looks better here?? I don't even understand how people can really argue with this. 

Oh and just BTW Microsoft won in the UK with the Xbox 360, just btw.
