Xbox 720.. Didn't everyone want that name?



LOL, at first I thought this was talking about the 4th Xbox selling more than the Sony and Nintendo predecessors.



You know, for a good chunk of these if you swapped PS4 and Xbox 720 he'd be pretty close.

Actually, all things considered the PS4 very well might outsell both the WiiU and Xbox One. Heck it's already at something like 41% of the generations sales.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Lol, it is fun to bring up old threads for the purpose of serving crow.  Especially when some of the posters state their opinion as set in stone facts.  Here's my thread on how I thought this gen would end up.  For the vast majority of it, I was right.  But, some of the other comments in there are quite hilarious.

Was a very bold prediction, considering the success of Xbox360, I would have told you even then that it's impossible.

Wonderful prediction. People sure have a hard time understanding Sony has sold more home consoles than anyone ever.


Exactly, the PlayStation is the biggest brand in gaming history. Even the PSP sold more than the 360. The Vita is the only console that has not performed well, but it took the PSP over 2 years to florish. I don't know why people contiune to doubt Sony.



I see where you're trying to get at. That's a very bold claim though.

I don't think WiiU will convince Wii crowd to jump on WiiU like they jumped on the Wii. Those people are either tired of gaming, satisfied with their Wii, jumped on Kinect. Some of them will buy it but I don't see it being nowhere near as successfull as the Wii was.

PS4 we don't know their plan, all we know right now is that they'll have sequels to this gen's exclusives and more exclusives. But we still don't know how they'll attract casuals and how they'll be different from the other two. PS4 won't have the Blueray advantage, they'll likely charge to play online... well we don't know much about it.

Microsoft we already know a lot about how they plan on taking over the living room. Kinect is already making it's way and Kinect 2 will be more precise and allow different gameplay mechanics. People shouldn't understimate the power of tv/music/arcade games/apps/internet that is well structured on the dashboard. Being able to control everything with voice and gesture is a good selling point for Microsoft.

Casuals entered in the gaming market thanks to the Wii but it doesn't make them gamers and the reason they buy a 300+ console is different from gamers. Gamers buy a console to play games. Casuals will look at what the console has to offer, next gen Windows 8 will power conputers/tablets/phones and casuals might be interrested to buy the console that has windows 8 inside too. This is supposed to unify MS platforms together gaming wise using SmartGlass

Gamers will still like Halo/Forza/Gears/Fable/Wake/Arcade, the console will be very easy to program for yet again, supposed to be more powerfull than both PS4 and WiiU and will offer every gaming options available to other consoles

-> WiiU Tablet -> MS SmartGlass -> PS4 Vita
-> Wiimotes -> Kinect -> Move
-> --- -> Blue Ray -> Blue Ray
-> --- -> Fortalesa Glasses -> Sony 3D Glasses


I promise this is the last one people. I swear.
