Xbox will win unless Apple decides to spoil their party.

When you consider PS4 and Xbox 360 will have 90% same games again with exclusives being the only differentiator, however the Xbox One will offer a slew of other features, the competition really isn't going to last long at the same price point. Console fanboys can account for about ~1 million in sales max, and after that it will be about games, wider mass market appeal and features. Xbox One should easily win 2 out of 3 there.

Some of the posts in this thread...wow, talk about being delusional. PS4 will have 160 million console based on core game exclusives? Makes total sense...


The number one complaint againt Microsoft for the longest time has been the lack of exclusive games. Exclusives are rather important and drive people towards one console or another. The features Microsoft is offering are laregely unimportant to real gamers and casuals already have ways of watching tv or looking at fantasy fooball lol.

If what you just wrote is the midset of "gamers", they are going to get a rude awakening for the second gen in row. They really aren't as important to consoles sales as they think they are. I mean Wii is universally disliked by the gaming community and yet it sold gangbusters on a very limited set of unique features. 

Core gaming can push console sales to 30, maybe 40 million these days when you consider that smartphones, tablets, PCs are all eating gaming console's lunch. If you want to sell 100 million+ you need to do a hell of a lot more things than just offer great core games and exclusives.

The thing which people here don't seam to realize is that Xbox One will do gaming as good as PS4, they just decided to talk about other features and aspects today which they believe will drive sales more than showcasing a few game demos to kids who will buy their consoles anyways when the first Halo or Call of Duty game comes out. 

Early adopters are what make consoles start off with a bang, and early adopters are the people who pave the road for what's to come. Casuals have no sense of what will be good or won't, they follow what is trendy. The company that secures the hardcore gamers will be in a wonderful place because it will have gained the trust of the most passionate consumers in the industry. 

A company winning because they cater to casuals instead of the core is such an empty thing to real gamers.I have no idea why people actuall WANT for this to happen. As a real gamer instead of a stock holder, I will always give my vote to the company that has my needs at mind. 

There is no arguing with the people who think like stock holders instead of gamers, they are sad people.
