Well, my cousins rommates sister inlaw bought a WiiU.   So, the WiiU will win the Gen.

 

I agree that many people have bought a PS4 in the 1st year, as proven by the sales total.  But, it has been proven that in the last 90 days, that things have evened out in the US.  Sure, comparing sales totals of games released before the sales surge of the the XB1 will show the disparity.  How the multiplats perform when they don't have a "marketing deal" will show a little more.  Clearly, the PS4 has a stronger list of exclusives in the first 7-8 months and will have an obvious sales advantage for that period.  

One thing to remember from last gen, is that lots of people like to buy both consoles(or all three).  So, by purchasing the PS4 first, doesn't mean they won't opt to buy the XB1 later.

As far as the $300 slim happening this year goes... Why?   Why would Sony release the slim and drop the price $100 when they are outselling the competition already?  They may release the Slim, but it might just be at $399 with a game or $349 with a game.  Sony needs every dollar that it can get and trying to win a meaningless console war is not reason enough to throw away the $$$.  

Why release a $300 slim?  Because it would make them a ton of money.  I love how so many people think Sony is just going to roll over and let MS catch up.  They always release a slim around 2 years after the initial release.  Why would they not now?

Woa, what? The PS1 slim did not release in 1996/97 and the PS2 slim did NOT release in 2002. And as far as I cam remember, I don't think the PS3 slim released in 2008.
