The reason ps4 is ahead of xbox is because of that infamous e3 2013 and all that other things microsoft tried to throw at us(24 hours online,kinect,you know all).It has nothing to do with the ps3 setting stage for ps4.And the xbone situation now is way worse than the early ps3 years.I don't think they can do anything now,aside of feed their own fans with new hardware.

The reason PS4 is ahead of Xbox (which I prefer over PlayStation, actually) is because PlayStation was always the bigger brand. From PS2 days to now, Sony just has legions and legions of fans. To me, for the first several years, the Xbox 360 experience was infinitely better than what PlayStation was offering but, for whatever reason, they just couldn't garner the loyalty and good will that Sony has.

"The first five million are going to buy it (PS3), whatever it is, even [if] it didn't have games." (David Reeves on the PS3 launch, 2007)

 

true,but the sony brand loyaltie is not enough to justify the huge disparity between the xbox and ps4 today.The disastrous xbox one reveal is what cause the gap to be this bad imo.If wasn't for that,microsoft could form a solid brand with time(it took psx and ps2 for sony to achieve that,after all).

Ps: and i also agree that in the first years the xbox 360 experience was superior,but unfortunatelly i got the RRoD,so i don't have good memories of microsoft consoles myself.But i'll try to stay fair in my opinions.
