Besides that he said something against Sony and getting the full force against him (he founded Atari where almost all in this thread hating about him weren't even born...) he also said that MS' dev-tools are extremely good (and always were) which is what I keep telling for days now but some users just want to except. I definitely see a small advantage for MS in this case, too. Sony can buy "knowledge" in this area but MS already has the required knowledge.

Yet despite ps3 being a nightmare sony still consitently put out more software over the years, what does that say about MS? Now with SOny have vastly better tool kits and hardware and easier to code for, no price or head start he thinks MS can take PLaystation WW? Not going to happen unless something disastrous happens. 

 

Being in the industry  at one point years ago doesn't mean squat it making predictions, the so called experts are wrong moe then they are right.

Sony improved their dev-kits, yes. Seems to be no win if you take that they were not good before. The rest is arguable but I think it's useless until both companies show what the consoles really will be. Until then repeating opinions doesn't make them facts (MS no headstart, for example). And really: Would you have less fun with PS4 if NextBox would sell more units than PS4?

Edit: Nice that you mention "more" software, as if this would be of any use in terms of quality...


Where did I say I really care or would have more fun if one sold more then the other? It is VGCHARTZ a site about sales so GASP, they will get discusssed. The PS4 is a dream to develop for that has been established by all major industry partners, and it's also why indies have flocked to vita as well. It's not just a case of "Well it was bad before so any improvemnt is good".

 

The fact that a 1.5 year head start in Sonys strongest territoery and 1 year elsewhere was not a factr is not argueable, nor is the 600 dollar proce. MS had a big advantage for first 3 years yet sony still has consistently outsold mS, that advantage is gone this gen.
