Of course you would skew this to favor the NeXbox, even if it doesn't truthfully represent that comment. What this would mean (and this is also going by both companies track records for the previous couple of years) is that Sony would release, say, 7 exclusives in one year (1-2 of which would be aimed at the casual market), while MS would release 5 exclusives a year (2-3 of which would be aimed at the casual market.) On the other hand, MS would release, say, 5 apps or multimedia functions to Sony's 3. Of course, Sony will have all the big ones (Netflix, Twiiter, Facebook, and a much better web browser), so I don't see a few exclusive multimedia apps/functions being a big deciding factor. It wasn't this gen, either.
@ OP
What is it with Pachter and Skype? The way he talks about it it sounds like he personally invented it. Or maybe MS is just paying him to praise it. Unfortunately for him and his predictions, Skype has been around for 10 years and it has never been, nor will it ever be, a major deciding factor in the purchase of an electronic device. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice addition, but 100% not necessary. And who's to say that you won't be able to access Skype or an equivalent through an app or the PS4's web browser.
Also, his statement about it and kids was just hilarious. Could you imagine a kid 12 years old or younger talking to their parents in a Gamestop. "Hmm, which system should we get, Johnny?" "All I know is screw Mario, Zelda, Sackboy, and Nathan Drake, I WANT SKYPE!!" Sorry, ain't going to happen in a million years.
