X1 will never catch or match PS4 sales, it is a misfired product.

Huh? THis makes no sense though sales. How does everybody else lose if Sony wins? And why would you not like Sony because more and more 3rd parties sign with them? Wouldn't that mean you don't like the 3rd parties that sign with them? I mean I could be missing your point but I am jsut curious because this breakdown doesn't seem correct to me.

In all gens Sony wins, the competition does bad. Sega Saturn and the Dreamcast......Gamecube and Xbox barely over 20 million with PS2 at 150? Now compared to Wii and 360 prospering last gen? I'm all for monopolies, but gaming is benefitted best when there is as much healthy competition as possible. Sony gains at the loss of others and makes it near impossible to prosper.

But that still doesn't make sense to not like Sony because the competition made bad choices. I mean te only one this gen I could see not doing the greatest is the Wii U and that is because it has little to no 3rd party support. But MS and the XB1 has plenty of 3rd party support with some nice 1st party support as well. The sales may not be as close this gen as last only because MS did not have the advantages that it had last gen by having that head start and being cheaper.

Not taking anything away from MS but that is kind of why things panned out the way they did last gen. The wii was a phenomenon that no one expected and even with selling the most had nowhere near the 3rd party support that the PS360 had. It only sold that much  because the casuals ate it up as something brand new and exciting. The Wii U clearly does not have that luxury. But anyway I don't know man I think this will still be a good gen MS just came out of the gates COMPLETELY wrong but in time they can actually start doing a lot better.

When the 5th, 6th, and now 8th gen non-Sony competitors are doing bad, it isn't due to bad choices. Sony is in the right place at the right time, Ill give em that. Nm, I'm done with my thoughts on this. I just hope the X1 can carve out a healthy enough 2nd place. All major cons are removed, so it really is up to how the market responds.

Still the price is higer compared to the hardware they have to PS4 at 400$, so this shows that they dont care gamers and just want money as they did not want to place it cheaper than PS4 even though it has weak hardware compared to PS4. Still, they dont many first party studios and games being developed compard to PS4 and they are depending more on 3rd party exclusives. Lets see what they do in the future and they will get sales if they do what the gamer wants.
