I expect the hype surrounding PS4 to fade slowly and the casual audiences looking for a media center to start looking at the XBOne, especially if they market it correctly.

But, eh, Japan will most likely guarantee the PS4 outselling the XBOne but at least 1.5:1 next year.

If that were true, then they would probably get a chromecast for $35 that does all those media things. And if they are casuals that dont care much for gaming the will get the $100 amazon fire tv, wich has some games, not as good ovbiusly, and has all the media crap for a much lower price. There is no reason to give $400, $500 for the real experience they offer, for this media crap.

Bolded my point to make this clear. If I'm a parent and I'm going to drop $400 on a console my son/daughter/dog/whatever is going to make me buy anyway, should I go for the system that only plays games or the one that plays games and has media stuff?

Besides, Microsoft's marketing has been, for the lack of a better word, meh lately.

If you are are a parent and are going to drop $400 on a console your son/daughter/dog/whatever is going to make you buy anyways, then your going to buy the console it wants the ps4 most likely, not the one you think is best. Cuz then, it will cry its eyes out for you getting the wrong crappy console and you will just retune it and get the console it wants.

The ps4 has media stuff as well and its getting new ones while MS droped the xbox entretainment studios and is just keeping the halo series cuz it already started.
