Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

i didnt saw here no one overconfident,dont know why we need this thread realy,hope this dont go into some flamewar.

Kinda agree.  How can one be overconfident on this?  You are either confident in Sony's ability to deliver on the PS4 or not.  There is no real middle ground.  I dont think there is anything wrong with the asseration of PS4 winning the next generation, its not like it has not happend before, so when talking about a new sony home console, that outcome should always be on the table.

I expected this from you ben.

PS4 is set to dominate because they haven't ducked up yet. So far they have done this gen perfectly so as fans of course we project that forward to mean they will do everything perfectly. After today when we have some actual negatives or concerns about the system is when real predictions can start.


Im assuming sarcasm?  Sony was far from perfect this gen and made some huge errors.

That being said Sony did some things very right including some of the best exclusives this generation.  I just think some people need to be realistic and realize Sony is far from having this coming gen won yet.

Sorry I'm already in PS4 mode. This gen was refering to the 8th gen.

Of course its possible.  I have no problem with confidence and hype

I have issues with posts that say things like "Sony is going to dominate this gen because MS doesnt care about gamers and only cares about Kinect and casuals".  Theres posts like that all over the place. 

We know nothing about the next xbox.  Im telling people to be excited but dont drag down other consoles to do it



I have been more into HH gaming lately so I'm hoping they have a big focus on Vita news too. A Price Cut for the U.S would be a nice start.

OT: I don't mind it. People make delusional predictions all the time.

Sony fans are excited for the PS4 announcement. I'm sure it'll be the same way when Microsoft unveils their new machine. It's been a really long gen and Sony has gone out of their way to hype this up and give people plenty of time to think about what they could possibly be showing off, this was bound to happen.

I think most fans just want their interests to be taken care of, I really don't think any Sony fan expects another PS2 domination. It's not like if Sony doesn't completely dominate the market, that Playstation fans won't be happy with what Sony offers them, same as this gen.


I agree 100% and most Sony fans are hyped while being reasonable

However Im seeing some of them openly attacking Nintendo and MS saying they have no chance against Sony/PS4.  Those are the ones Im talking about.  They are overconfident considering we know nothing about next gen yet


I personally havn't seen anybody attacking Nintendo or Microsoft and saying they have "no chance". Not saying people aren't, just that I havn't seen it yet. :p But about those people, yeah I totally agree. Like you said though, most Sony fans are reasonable hyped.



don't worry about that its behaviour as result of feeling inferior i suppose

 I'm just as excited as anyone about the announcement of the Playstation 4 today.  Cutting edge graphics, huge amazing games, and some big surprises are most likely coming in just a few hours.

That being said Sony fans are startin to come across as far too overconfident about something we know nothing about   I'm seeing predictions everywhere of Sony dominating this gen, that MS will provide nothing for core gamers, that Wii U is doomed, and endless Kaz avatars.   In fact I love hype but I think some Sony fans should controll their expectations. 

After all the PS3 had immense hype with saying like "The next gen doesn't start till Sony says so" and we all know how the first few years of the PS3 went.

Be hyped for the console and games but no reason to try and tear down or insult other consoles and fans.

I admit i am very excited about ps4 but for me that doesn't equal a sony domination in my book, but i can see where the excitement come from,  sony fans knows(or hope) that sony won't do the same mistakes this time so the possibility of being first this time is very possible.   I hope that both sony and microsoft launch at almost the same time and at the same price, that will make the race more exciting and cancel the argument that went in this generation about prices and launch date.
