but with Xbox One being consumer friendly now (More so than the PS4 actually), I'm going to have to revise my initial prediction of the generation going to PS4 and Wii U and instead predict that this generation could easily go Xbox One and Wii U, but not by that much. I'm more seeing a scenario with Xbox One and PS4 battling it out (Xbox One perhaps winning) with Wii U sneaking its way to the top.

You are divorced from reality, bro. The probability of this tends to zero, not even x1 winning ps4, but wii u winning this gen.


I'd love to hear your take on why you believe next generation will have PS4 in the lead with Wii U at last place. Right off the bat, PS4 has the least amount of exclusives with the rest of its games being multiplats. PS4 is definitely a great offer and I have no doubt that it could be first place this generation, but there are a lot of other facts to consider such as the fact that PS4 and Xbox One are now nearly indistinguishable and the fact that PC gaming is getting a lot cheaper. Additionally, if Wii U sales start to pick up, then it will get third party games because it's not the Wii where that console literally couldn't run multiplats making the Wii U the best value of all the next-generation consoles.


The PS4 still has the chance of having the lead and based on history if you Sony based on name value alone WW has the higher chance of getting the headstart. If you look at the PS3 and 360 initial sales when they launched the PS3 still outsold the 360's launch while still being $599. 

1) Has the multiplats (Which is the main attraction for the majority of the gamers)

2) Has the cheaper price ( Which is the main attraction and coupled with healthy multiplats equals a healthy start for Sony vs MS)

3) Will have more exclusives in the first year than the Xbox One (which has been recently revealed). Thirty first party games are currently in development and twenty first party exclusives are coming in the first year alone. Second and third party titles are coming so keep your eyes peeled for Gamescom.

4) Most of Sonys top 4 titles for the PS4 are first party so Sony enthusiasts will be buying PS4's for that.

5) Destiny Bonus content for Bungie/MMO fans.
