Well I wouldn't doubt it since there hasn't been anything official announced for the next Xbox while the ps4 has had a show focused on it and had a few announcements.

Yea.  One that happened 3 months ago.  Of course buzz and Twiiter talk about it should have died down some by now.  However, MS is about to have a press conference IN JUST 3 DAYS (!), yet the PS4 is still enjoying almost twice the social media buzz?  That should be a little concerning.  And if some of the more negative rumors prove true, then it may see a big jump in social media buzz, but a lot of it won't be positive talk.


thats a very strange strange way of looking at it.  not to mention that sony dedicated fans are very very very very vocal.

The next gen, like this gen, wont be won by the hardcore, die hard fan bases. 

lets talk again post May 21st and post e3.

I disagree, lol.  Any other way of looking at it, to me, would just seem like making excuses for a lack of hype.  Like I said, we are mere days (not weeks, anymore) away from the NeXbox reveal, yet people are still mostly talking about the PS4?  You aren't concerned about that?  At all?

And you are right, next gen won't be decided by the hardcore fanbases (Sony would win that one, anyway), but by the core gamer, in general.  Many casuals are more than satisfied with their phones and tablets.  They will definitely be there for next gen, but not nearly in the mass numbers they were this gen.  This is evidenced in the performance of the Wii U.  A console that screams casual appeal, with its lower price (compared to what the PS4/NeXbox will be), Mario games, and tablet controller, yet the casuals aren't gobbling it up like they did the Wii.  So, if core gamers think Sony has their best interests in mind, as opposed to a MS that may still be focusing too much on Kinect/blocking used games, than I fully believe they will be turning away from MS in droves.
