The same can be said with PS Move, people flailing their arms with a plastic stick with a ball at the end of it. Sorry the Kinect has been more successful than the Move. "Playstation brand still destroys xbox in that it could outsell them with a year," wishful thinking... How does the Playstation brand destroy Xbox, explain to me. Microsoft has way more money and is a much bigger company than Sony and Nintendo is, they could easily snatch up a couple of big exclusives if they wanted and become the leader this gen.

It's not wishful thinking, it's facts. Microsoft having more money doesn't mean the xbox brand is stronger than PS, They get most of their money from windows which xbox has nothing to do with. That comparison was horrible just like your whole argument. They could easily make a lot of exclusives because they have a lot of money and notl charge for online but they won't. Thats exactly why the xbox will always be below playstation because they don't care about the gamers or variety. Hell they even release a product that isn't ready just to get a head start. I don't see microsoft giving xbox live gold members free money just for being a loyal customer. 

No but Microsoft having more money means they can afford to subsidize the Xbox 720. Sony can't afford to subsidize again and sell the PS4 at a loss like they did with PS3, because they're hurting enough as it is. The next Xbox will probably launch at a cheaper price guaranteed. And whoever launches at the cheapest price wins. The only reason the PS2 did huge numbers was because of the DVD player. And if you look at software sales, the Xbox 360 has a huge lead over the PS3 worldwide. Software sales matter more because that's where the majority of their profits come from. Many people bought PS3s or PS2s just for watching movies and they're not buying games. That's not good for the company. If the PS4 is going to succeed it needs to focus on the software this time, lots of good software.
