So have anyone's sales predictions for the One consoles changed now that we have confirmation of specs and features..?
Having to install the entire contents of the disc before you can play a game onto a 500GB hard drive is going to be a problem, that disc space is going to fill up FAST. You could of course install it and read it from the Cloud but, here in the UK at least, broadband connections aren't really up to the task...and people with bandwidth limits are going to be fucked. And it will also drastically increase loading times too.
And we've also now had it confirmed that each game is tied to one console, used games will need people to pay a fee before being able to play them and you can forget about lending games to your mates. That's going to be a dealbreaker for a fair few people. |
Nope, all the rumours about the Xbox turned out to be true. I stick with 80% marketshare for Sony and 20% for MS. The Wii U will have 10% of the current gen console market as the ps3 and 360 aren't going anywhere for a while.

Dude. 80% ??? lol Come on man.
With these mega (expensive) consoles being release, I'm actually starting to think the Wii U really COULD turn around sales.
I will say that if Xbox goes the DRM route and Sony does not (unlikely, but we will see), I vote for PS4 all the way between the 2.

Sony fans are a bit on the insane side so....

Yeah, I don't even think the PS2 had 80 percent share. Percentages don't scale linearly like that, because you always have to divide by the total of all systems.
in a 3 console race, 55-60% would be domination. 70+ percent would be unheard of. 80+ is not going to happen.
Think about it, if 200K systems are sold total 60% is 120K pieces, while your competitors COMBINED have only 80K pieces.

Well 80 or 70% who knows. My point was that Sony will be by far the most dominant console for core gaming in the coming 7 years. MS just shot itself in the foot with a rocket launcher by pushing the Kinect-powered multimedia box thing through and the the ps4 will show a significant leap in visuals this time around. With the ps3 it was to hard to really showcase the hardware but I don't think this will be an issue with the ps4. And as I said before, the Wii U isn't really considered a next gen console when it simply can't play next gen games. It will be competing with the ps3/ 360 untill the Xbox one and ps4 reach a $260 pricepoint.
Things might look gloomy for MS now, but if 9 of those 15 new exclusives turn out to be Kinect games (which I expect), while Sony drops a Infamous, Driveclub, KZ4, FF14, a new game from Naughty Dog's second team and who knows what else, then it will be one of the most embarassing E3's in history for MS.
