I've predicted some time ago that XO will have to fight hard if it is to outsell Wii U this gen and I stick to this. I think Wii U can outsell XO. XO doesn't stand a chance in Europe - there is absolutely no chance of it ever coming close to X360 numbers here. On the other hand Wii U should pick up to at least decent numbers if Nintendo finally learns what it has to do with it.


That is what i have said aswell.

PS4 will dominate. Wii U and X1 will be at each others throats.

Most likely another round of PS2 like gen.

 

Of course, Microsoft can go crazy if they want to take huge losses and either cut the price or take that kinect out. I dont think taking the kinect out is enough. They need to have a lower price than the PS4 to have a chance.

Yet the PS2 gen Xbox was still my favorite. Sold my PS2 to get an xbox and loved it. Sony let the PS2 era go to their heads when PS3 came around and imo dropped the ball at the start. I think Xbox has that same mentality sony had going into gen 7. We sold way more than previous hardware so we do what we want and now it will hurt them the first year or two until they straighten stuff out.


Your point beeing you have a personal opinion? Shocking. I also enjoyed the gamecube more than the PS2, but that doesnt really matter here.

But yes, the arrogance factor always repeats itself (except on the PS1 to PS2 transition). Now the problem with microsoft is they dont have the brand value of Playstation to make a turn around. Also they dont have as mant studios, and they also have to overcome the stigma that  once they get you to buy the system they will feed you to the kinect software. They do have the money to waste though.
