Gotta say, shit just got real with this. Xbox shouldnt have waited this long.

But Sony is infamous for neglecting Europe. That would give Xbox some breathing room.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Europe will probably get PS4 march 2014.

The 360 got 1 1/2 years of breathing room this gen, how did that turn out?  The PS3 is ahead of the 360 there by ~5.6M units.  The NeXbox doesn't stand a chance in EU if it only has a 6 month launch gap and they are both priced around the same.

It worked out well gen over gen. Really well. Xbox needed that year to help with brand awareness. Something the 720 will not need. Europe is fair game either way.

could get delayed

i kinda aint ready for next gen i guess i just wanted more from this gen

what will happen with GTA5 now will that be a launch ps4 game cause if so that would defiantly get me to get a next gen console this year

I suppose they can port the PC version of GTA5 to the PS4 without too much difficulty.

And a lot of MS's gain was because of Sony's screwups early on.  If MS can't beat Sony (5.6M is a huge lead, and it is only growing) with a 1 1/2 years headstart and a $200 price advantage, then I doubt it will fare any better against a PS that is probably only $50 more expensive and, at most, comes out 6 months later.  Most Europeans will just wait for the PS4 release.

It was and MS capitalized on it. They needed that to gain a foothold for brand awareness and they don't need Sony to screw up again. Sony does have an advantage but even one small mistake could tip the balance. Are Europe that dedicated to Sony? They can't despise MS that much to almost Japan levels. Especially considering the consoles will more likely than not be near identical, especially with Sony now going after the casual audience with their "kinect like" camera and MS' console will likely be slightly cheaper. In my opinion, Europe is fair game with Sony just a slight advantage.

This is exactly what Sony wanted, so within the next 2 months xbox have to "up" sony, then what do they have to show for E3? ps4 will still have more attention E3, with pricing, the console, and more games

 

@OP come on Sony, you know it would make sense for a WW Launch of 2013, even its theres weeks apart i don't mind but they all need to be ready for 2013

Still so many questions. This is good marketing. Keep people guessing and it keeps the interest.

What an E3 2013 is going to be when MS enters the mix.
