As simple as this is, I agree. It hasn't turned around in customer perception, specs, nor games (to me, both offerings are pretty equal). Seems like a sudden surge of reassurance threads for the X1. Confidence in the product shouldn't require it, since it will do fine, even if that means being behind the PS4. |
For the most part its people who wanted the console even when it was a clusterfluff, that are now reminding us that "hey peoples opinions of it have changed" - when their own opinions havent.
the xbox one will sell well, of course, but highly unlikely it will match the ps4 sales, and virtually zero chance of it overtaking in sales.
what we are going to see is a brief period of being "a little behind", which grows slightly each passing week, until we hit around the 4 or 5 month mark when the difference is in the millions and not the thousands - its at this point when people will give up claiming the impossible and we will all be back to arguing what exclusives are better, with xbox fans bringing up games and avoiding sales talk, just as the ps3 fans did with the early days of ps3.
However way you paint the picture, the 360 did amazingly well, and took good advantage of its year headstart, despite the rrod fiasco - but to be overtaken prior to the release of a new system with such a head start, and to fumble your way in to the next generation with such an asenine philosophy - and have the person who just overtook you be painted as the golden child of the next generation just highlights one blazingly obvious fact
ps4 will win in sales, hands down - in all regions except america where xbox one will likely cling to an even figure or occasionally overtake in monthly sales - but since people actually live in other countries, that wont make a difference.
