The Xbox is an American brand, of course CNN is going to back it despite the bad press where it truly matters.


Why do you Sony guys think that every single media outlet in the world is bias to xbox?? People are taking this way too seriously. There isn't any real favoritism being shown here, they had the exact same article about ps4. Its just objective reasons why both consoles are good. They just have flamebait titles because they know silly sensitive fanboys will flock to these articles like flies to sh*t.

Response to the top 5 reasons just so you understand.


1. Halo cannot win a console war alone. (See first Xbox sales. It only hit 24 million while Halo still had strong sales and only experienced a three million console hike at the highest even though their install base grew to almost four times the previous gens size. Those who want Halo will buy Halo, but it wont help Microsoft.)

2. Kinect is a weight on public opinion which is why based on price the PS4 is the first option to many. (Microsoft knows people wont buy Kinect right off the bat so they forced it down peoples throats as well as intergrating it into the system.)

3. Titanfall wont be exclusive for long (its also on PC).

4. Everyone is banking on tablets in the next gen, so I dont see how this could be an advantage.

5. TV wont matter if you cant get the casuals to buy the console.

 

The only major reason why they would win the next gen is by price and a years headstart (which they don't have at all). Most people dont realize it but the PS3 outsold the 360's first year and other years minus about two years. Americans en masse who purchase these consoles at launch are majorly the hardcore and third party enthusiasts who pay based on price and do not have any loyalty to exclusives (See how Microsoft cut into Sony's marketshare this gen). They don't give a crap about any of these things at launch, just that the PS4 offers more thats concrete that matters to them at a console launch.
