Microsoft is winning me over.

I totally agree. I've never really been an Xbox guy, but Sony has been disappointing me so much lately. All I see for their E3 lineup are a bunch of ports, remakes, reboots, or sequals. There's maybe two or 3 new original titles only, and I'm sick of their PS4 upgrading of PS3 games.

Microsoft seems to have a more varied lineup, more original content, more surprises and just generally overall more appealing lineup. I still don't have either of the next gen consoles but at this rate, by the time Dragon Age Inquisition comes out, I'll probably lean more towards the Xbox One than PS4.

Don't want more Uncharted, more God of War, more of the same. Want new, original content.

Wait...you expect Sony not to bring out new content? Be patient. I thought you knew Sony.  Microsoft has a varied lineup because they scout many groups and then pay for their games. Sony depends on themselves first and then look outward, rather than Microsoft who looks outward then looks inside. Think about it. You'll see what I mean by next year.

You see....if you have the blinders on while being in awe of Microsofts launch, then wait until Sony shows you what they really have. This same mistake was made last gen in the first two years of the PS3's life when the "PS3 has no games" line was brought up. What happened next? Glad you asked. Everyone looked foolish and then when third party exclusives dried up, outlets were asking Mircrosoft where their exclusives went. 

I was here and was apart of the whole Wii60 initiative on VGChartz back in 2008. I learned from history. I am enjoying the XBox One, but I wont allow it to blind me from the value of my PS4.

;)

PS3 had free online multiplayer for almost all of its games, so is that coming to PS4 next year as well?

I think both companies are going to have many great exclusives but you can't really predict what Microsoft is going to do based on last generation because history doesn't always repeat itself.  We have a very different situation this time around in which the console doesn't have a one year advantage, superior versions of many multiplats, etc.  We have a Microsoft that will have to work hard for Xbox One sales and the only realistic way of making it a close race again is through aggressive price cuts and a very strong exclusive lineup.

I have no idea how hungry they actually are to make that happen and I don't think many people outside of Microsoft know either.
