I do, it's in the PS4, it's truly the second coming. @your argument with tuscaniman. You gun on the price advantage, but what you forget is that MS' marketting demolishes Sony's when it comes to retail presence and printed ads in general. Sony will be much more aggressive this gen, but let's not pretend this is all about pricepoint. Hey, I agree pricepoint is important, but what you will see is MS holding down the fort in America, but losing ground in Europe. It's just a question of market penetration and marketing. |
Microsofts marketing isn't outdoing the PS4 hus far though. Even on Jimmy Fallon the PS4 got a better crowd reaction. History has shown that Microsoft more often than not will outsell Sony unless it comes to certain pieces of content (Halo, Gears, Kinect, etc). MS Putting them up against each other head to head is almost as bad as giving Sony a head start. Sony having a price, graphics and online parity for multiplayer online is not healthy for Microsoft, not healthy at all. As I said, Nintendo severely hurt Sega because they kept third parties away from them, Sony hurt Nintendo because the third parties chose their platforms willingly, MS cut Sonys marketshare because Microsoft knew third parties sell the majority of the consoles. MS can only hold down the fort initially based on price in America and they've lost that battle. As Jack Tretton said on IGN recently, its the core gamers that matter because they are the first initiators and after that the purchases and influence spread like wildfire.
