I prefer Playstation exclusives, and games are what really matter, but honestly? MS has the best hardware, and more brutal power. I don't think the difference is huge, probably roughly 20%, half of the difference between PS4 and base XOne. I will buy both on Day one, so all the exclusive games in my hands :D and probably most of multiplatform games on XSX.

And that’s the point. 3rd party multiplat game sales dwarf exclusive sales. That’s where the money is and if MS can convince people who buy both to pick Xbox for the big multiplats then I say that’s a win in itself 

Yep, I'm confident MS will do a lot better next gen, and this is very good as more competition is a great incentive for the other companies to do better.

 Now I'm just wondering which will be the price for XSX and PS5. MS put more money in the brutal power and their optimizations and velocity architecture, Sony in the very custom SSD and all the system customization and architecture and cooling system. Which Console cost more to produce ? At this point I have no idea, maybe the ones here with better hardware understanding could do a better guess.

  As you said, the biggest selling numbers are made by the best and most popular 3rd party games, which will most probably look and/or perform better on XSX, and this is already a very good point for MS.  Next Gen will be more interesting I believe :)
