Is Sony recovering their greatness? Does the PS4 have this generation locked?

M$ will do better out the gate. It's called advertising and M$ has more $$$ to spend on that. Notice how their conference was on TV and Sony's isn't?

When the launch hype is long dead and word of mouth starts to drive most of the sales ps4 will probably catch and win. It all depends on how much market-share M$ can hold in the US/UK/Australia over Sony because the ps4 will win handily everywhere else especially since all the TV functions of the xbox will be useless outside the U.S.

Don't believe me? Just watch...

Price will also play a factor. If PS4 launches at a competitve price, it will be a tight race out of the gate and Sony may even take more markets.

ps4 will launch at $499 as well. Anything below $450 and sony is dumb as a bag of rocks. Sometimes being too cheap creates the perception that you're selling junk not that you giving something of value except ps4 exclusives can show superiority out the gate which I doubt. Remember the cheap GC? EVeryone thought it was a weaker console when it was more powerful than the PS2.

Profit is also important for Sony as well right now. If they dont have a subscription service, it is even more imperative that they stick to $499 as only the hardest of the hardcore get launch consoles anyway and M$ has XBL gold to generate even more funds.
