If Sony launches within a good window with good exclusives, proper pricing and cross chat in their online next gen Microsoft is kinda screwed. Especially with the online being free that goes double.

I bet 10000000000% PSN will NOT be free next gen. That would be a horrible business move for Sony. 

PSN is free right now, and Live kills it every year in hours spent playing online. Available downloadable content is also much more active on Live. 

Sony need to make money from PSN to keep up with the R&D of Live.

Dec 6th Live changes again,with so many features that the competition just doesnt have. An integrated search engine for a start.

Free or not, you did not adress what he was saying. Ms has to launch before Sony for it to compete. Ms biggest advantage will be price and and lauch date, without them, they are screwed.

Completely disagree. M$ owns America. Thats theirs now. EMEAA is very close. M$ are going toe to toe with Sony and Sony have thrown evverythin they ave first party wise at M$ and yet M$ are standing. 

Before you start to talk about what M$ need, how about what Sony need. After all Sony are in last place. They lost US this gen an do NOT have EU to themsleves. 

MS owning America the way they have this gen is not guaranteed next gen.

The things that helped M$ destroy in America was the cheap price and the games Halo, Gears Of War, Grand Theft Auto and Call Of Duty. I dont think MS will get another exclusive dlc on the next gen GTA like this 1 and Gears will most likely be going multiplat next gen so those are out of the picture. M$ should still have a lead in America though because Call Of Duty will most likely keep with the exclusive maps 1st on xbox consoles and of course Halo(if the series is still the same due to bungie not making it anymore)

and i cant see how anybody could honestly look at EMEAA's numbers and claim that M$ are going "toe to toe" with Sony LMAO ¯(ツ)/¯
