You are a sad person, very sad.

Wait, you actually thought one word of that was meant seriously?

all Sony has to do is come out swinging, an they've got America or at least an equal hold on the market.

if Sony could get a team together, that could work at Rockstar to get the Get Away done in the vein of GTA they'll almost have a game in every genre. just a thought.

edit: and a team that could get 8 days done at nautydog wouln't hurt.

Even with 1 year late, and over priced as heck, PS3 still sold on par with Xbox, it is difficult for me to see how PS4 will not surpass Xbox once again if the price is right and launch is aligned.

What appeals to America gamingwise = everything I hate about gaming.

I really hope they don't try to hard. I really don't mind the 720 beating the PS4 if the PS4 continued to have non FPS single player games.

I agree with this.

I hope the PS4 doesn't try to appeal to the Xbox 360 crowd. Much as I despise Sony's arrogance and elitist undertones of the Sony fanbase (my opinion, I'm entitled to it!) I love the Sony first party games and they are the only proper fully fleshed out old school games available, apart from the odd once in a blue moon multiplat and classic JRPG fun like Lost Odyssey on the Xbox 360.

After Ni-No-Kumi, I'm finally getting corrupted by the Sony machine and never thought that would happen, but this is how gaming used to be and how I like it.

I don't want it going even more the wrong way.

Sony will have to work extremely hard to win America. i actually don't see it happening. I think a lot of people will stick with the 360 no matter what Sony brings to the party next gen. Unfortunately everything in the US is a popularity contest and Microsoft is the absolute best at making everyone believe they are the coolest.

As long as the Nextbox establishes itself as being the "cool" or "hip" console. Nothing Sony can offer will tear those people away.

I live in the US and I would absolutely love to see a Sony dominance here, I just don't see that happening. I look around and all I see are people who are loyal to the 360 simply because it's popular. Most of them stick to the same old arguments from early this gen (PS3 has no games). Most people I talk to still believe that to be true. Obviously it isn't but if they havn't figured that out by now they probably aren't all that into videogames. they just play a few, the big blockbusters that all their friends have.

I believe the "gamers" here have no interest in anything that isn't trendy atm. I'm fairly certain the fanbase that Microsoft has managed to amass this gen will easily transition to the Nextbox regardless of anything else.

That was funny! Don't worry you just hurt that other guys feeling :/ the Xbox is strong with that one 

You need to remember that fanbase of the people who think something is 'cool' had a PS1 then a PS2 then xbox360. The translation from PS2 to 360 just shows there is no mass brand preference. Just because Ms did well in America last time doesn't mean they will this time. 

Won't happen.

Sony "couldn't keep" America with all the brand awareness they had with the PS2 when MS was still an infant. It's simply too late now. The Xbox brand is huge compared to what it was back before the X360 came to be. In fact, Sony's position in the market is actually worse now due to Nintendo taking over Japan and MS NA. Sony only really has Europe but the question is... Can Sony afford to fight 2 territory wars at once? They're not gonna win NA regardless but if they try too hard they might upset the Europeans and that means market share for MS if they play it right.
