A)nope I just didn't want to include irrelavent stuff on boths sides.  B)far cry dlc isnt going to sell anysystems at all but C)xbox one releasing in 30+ countries will...

If you want to count stuff like D)psnow (which will actually work against consoles in a way) then you have to include ea access which will help xbox one more.


A) Nothing I added was irrelevant; If we're just talking about new things coming up for this (2014, Xmas) holiday season, then irrelevant would be

"-TV features thaty the PS4 doesn't" since these are features that were available at launch with no updates bringing any sort of improved functionality.

 

B) It isn't exclusive DLC for Far Cry 4 I was talking about;  It's exclusive features.  Did you ever hear that speech for the PS4 announcement, where they said something along the lines of, 'Imagine playing a game on campaign when all of a sudden you get stuck at a boss fight; As hard as you try you can't get past him, so what do you do? You call on your friend across the country for help; With our new SharePlay feature he'll be able to jump into your game via his own PS4, wherever he's at in the real world in order to take control of your game to get past this boss.  The best part? He doesn't have to own the game".  On top of that, Far Cry 4 on PS4 is going to allow 10 of your friends to play 2 hours for FREE of your own game via streaming.  I buy Far Cry 4 but you don't have it.  I want you to play online with me though, so I'm going to send you an invite and you can join my match where we'll spend two hours together playing through campaign or matchmaking, before you'll have to go get your own copy. 

Believe it or not I think this is a great, product selling feature and it's a huge benefit the PS4 has that is currently flying under a lot of peoples radar.  This WILL sell systems.

 

C) I bet you've heard this before, but a lot of users on here believe that X1 won't benefit much (if at all) from this secondary launch in other countries because it's already been available there.  I ask you to show me a single post from anyone on here that lives in a country where they can't find an X1. I really don't think we'll see any kind of meaningful bump from this extra 'launch'.  China will do more for that.


D) PSNow is not, does not, and will not be like EA Access. Two Completely different services aimed at different consumers providing different value;  PSNow is a benefit because it allows people like you, who don't have a Sony console to play Sony games.  It allows PC users access to the vast library of experiences you could only recieve prior on specific devices.  Why won't this cut into the PS4's marketshare?  Because the exclusives you'll be able to stream are from last gen, and older.  If you want to play Bloodborne, you need a PS4.  if you want to play Uncharted 4, PS4.  If you want ANY new software exclusive distributed by Sony, it's only available on PS4.  As for the rest of the library from each generation past?  Users no longer have to invest in hardware to play that one game from their childhood that they cherished.


A) Okay fair enough but Xbox One is constantly adding new TV/Video services PS4 does not have so I can count it for 2014

B) Okay gotcha. Well you can say the same for Xbox One. Fruit ninja, dance evolution etc are games of genres that are on other systems that are played differentl;y exclusively on Xbox One

C) They cost more now to buy in countries not released in becuase you have to pay shipping costs. You cannot buy games/aps in your country because they are region locked. And the system/games may not be in your language. Releasing in these countries will boost without a doubt.

D) If you want to include PSnow you cannot exclude EA access period. EA access lets you play games before anyone else and allows exclusive DLC to be on the Xbox One. BTW I own all sony sytems except PS4 and Vita
