I agree that for XB fans this will have little to no effect, but I think you're underestimating the number of people that don't really care about exclusives on either console nearly as much as the multiplat titles and between the PS4 having the better version of those multiplats and the cheaper price I'll be interested to see the effect on sales in the future. |
true then again even if half the COD crowd were to go to the competition it won't be that big of a deal IMO over the gen.... to me this gen won't be fought on games alone
way more than 5 million (half of the COD user base) new customer will come on features outside of regular gaming alone.... I'm on the verge of opening my own business in the fitness industry this for exemple is an exploding sector with a more than 15% market increase year after year and has a hudge progression margin in many european countries... and I guess world wide... this will be XB ground no competition here
then you have the media content that MS is trying to move on and that could be a game changer, we've seen netflix doing it with some success, MS has some great cards to play there....
then you have apps and multimedia in general... the Windows kernel is another great support
etc etc.... yeah as a pure gaming console PS4 will without a doubt be better on more than one multiplat.... however, that will be relevant to only hardcore console gamers that care only about that.... I have no doubt that MS can do great things with XB without the extra power easily....
