According to some people, PS4 was only more popular because Sony fans rule the internet. Looks like that theory is gone, because clearly there's more Sony fans offline too.

You don't have to be a Sony fan to want a PS4. XBone doesn't have all that much going for it right now, and that price tag is not helping.

Um....

Forza, DR3, and KI (being free) > KZ (which you are better off getting BF4/COD for your shooter experience anyway)?

I mean sure theres more games, but these are the standouts, the games that are driving console purchases.

Most people buying the next gen consoles are getting, COD and/or BF4, both of which run better on the PS4. When you add KZ to that, XBO just isn't much of a match when it comes to shooters(which are far and away the biggest system sellers). Fighting games aren't all that big, so I can't see KI moving swaying many buyers. Then there's Ryse, but it's apparently not so great, and I don't see it moving nearly as many units(HW, or SW) as KZ. All that leaves is Forza and DR, which are probably the main draws of the system(besides multimedia functions). But I doubt they're enough. The problem is that there isn't much to warrant the extra $100 yet. This is why I expect the PS4 to have a 2.5:1 sales advantage by the end of the quarter, though that gap will probably slip quite a bit by this time next year.
