No offense but Sony fanboys are dreaming if they think the PS2 era is coming back (I have picked the PS4 to win worldwide though).

XBox is a much stronger competitor today than it was 10 years ago, they are the defacto "hardcore" gaming brand in the US and have the best marketing (sorry, Sony, take a seat) machine behind them.


last gen xbox was cheaper, came out first, had the better third party versions of most games and still couldnt beat the ps3.

this gen its more expensive, third party games are better on ps4, its coming out at the same time.

how do you expect them to stand a chance?

PS4's doing 100m guaranteed, the question is is xbox one even beating the 360? I think not.

their only hope is to ditch kinect and undercut the ps4, even then I doubt they would get 100m.


MS is going to sell a minimum of 60 million consoles this gen ... that is a significant minimum portion of the market. 

Fact is they have the best marketing team in the business, they have the highest brand appeal in the US, they are very smart in tying their brand to the NFL (Sony may attract more "nerd" gamers, but they are outnumbered by the "jocks" in the US) and simply put they make more money as a company in 3 months than Sony has in 10+ years. 

The battle in the West will be more like the SNES vs. the Genesis, this is not going to be a cakewalk for Sony, MS will make them sweat and if they decide to start opening their wallet, possibly bleed too. It's going to be a very competetive generation ... which is just fine IMO ... that's good for consumers.
