i'm buying a ps4 nextgen but  microsoft could win nextgen, they have the us market on lock and they sell good in europe, if there system is cheaper by 100$, it will destroy ps4 sales in the states, now euro will still remain like this gen.


sony has eu locked, and japan, sorry but microsoft will never win relying on just america


How is EU locked? 2 gens ago you could have said they had the world locked. Japan is more Nintendo but Sony has a strong place there too.

 

Xbox has a minimal chance to get big there.

Just look at the numbers.  The PS3 launched in EU 1 1/2 years after the 360, and at a much higher price, yet the PS3 is 5.7M+ ahead of it now.  And that gap is only going to continue to grow.  Probably end up being 8M-10M.  Now, what will happen there if the PS4 and NeXbox launch around the same time for almost the same price? 

Japan is more Nintendo?  Maybe for handhelds.  However, the PS1 and PS2 did much better there than the N64 and Gamecube.  Sony may claim 1st there again, especially with how poorly the Wii U is selling there, currently.

your forgetting one very important detail, when 7th gen started, the xbox brand was a joke, now its huge, this will make a huge differnce.
