You only get one chance at a first impression and Xbox failed miserably on the 21st. Then it was "wait for E3." They showed basically all of their guns to their biggest market and it's barely being talked about because of the used games and online stuff that Sony said at their conference along with the price. They don't have the head start like with PS2 but damn I don't see how Xbox could ever reach anywhere near the level of its predecessors.
I mean even launching along side each other at the same price would've wiped out their big advantages from last gen. Now they have to launch close and be $100 more expensive with so much bad press about WHAT they're selling (something PS3 didn't have to deal with it was just HOW MUCH they were selling it at). Couple that with PS' online being just as good at the START of the gen this time to avoid that stigma and you've got yourself a recipe for dominance. I see it being PS4=50%, WiiU=30%, and MS=20% if I'm being generous.
The new IP didn't even make a little dent in the negativity and now Don is saying "just buy a 360" uh no Don I want next gen gaming so imma go ahead and buy PS4 if I want an offline experience. Now they're left with nothing to show for the rest of the year and Sony will be guns blazing at Gamescom since they haven't come close to showing their 20 exclusives in the first year and TGS of course MS will be non existent. Nintendo solid as always.
