If you're expecting WiiU levels you're going to be greatly disappointed, it has a clear audience it's actually aiming at.

We'll wait and see what the sales do, they're not going to be fantastic but they'll be good enough I'm sure.

What is that clear audience?

The 360 audience. Didn't think it needed pointing out.

It will be cannibalized by the PS4. 

No it won't, PS4 will sell better for sure, but it won't be a PS2/Xbox scenario, don't kid yourself. They're far too close for that to happen and one $100 price cut and they're at parity with the average consumer.

Ofcourse it probably won't a PS2/xbox scenario but nonetheless it will get cannibalized by the PS4 much like how the 360 cannibalized sony's audience.

@Bold That $100 price difference is pretty much gonna mean that the audience would rather go get a PS4 instead of X1. There really isn't any reason to get an X1 other than halo. 

What are the reasons to get a PS4 then, Uncharted and $100 cheaper? Like I said that $100 is a hurdle but IF MS cut then they're at parity. The old chesnut "they only have Halo" shows you up, you can do better than that.

That's really it. MS only has halo, other than that the games on the PS4 and X1 are going to be largely the same. If the same situation happened to sony the only reason to get a PS4 is gran turismo. A game really only matters if it can move alot of hardware and clearly both sony and microsoft has only 1 game to do that.

Seece, you of all people should know alot about other recent users on this site like myself. You know that I don't come from either camp. (Other than PC ofcourse if you look at my sig.) 

Both shift most of their consoles through third party but also the overal library, all those little exclusives (and not so little, Gears as an example) do shift hardware. Fable 2 sold over 1m in the US in a couple of weeks, MGS$ pushed PS3 hardware sky high in the US that month, there is stuff we don't even know about that will sell millions.

There are a lot of factors that go into choosing a console, probably the biggest being where your friends are going and what you gamed on last gen, yes those can change (and likely will for a lot of people) but as long as something disasterous doesn't happen then there won't be a monumental shift. (before you say look at Wii to Wiiu and PS2 to PS3.)
