Oh no, is Nintendo pulling the plug on the WiiU? :o

OT: it was expected... whenever something is announced, fans get hyped Thats how the world goes around

There should be a thread asking:

Are non-playstation fans getting worried ?

Since you deem those Sony fans who post here as simply overconfident, how do you feel about yourself on bringing up this thread? An Overconfident MS fan?  you alread have used the term "Big" opponent which should imply nothing but that.  I'm just hyped though not over confident. It's strange how other threads have the usual poll results as opposed to yours

EDIT: Level of confidence towards a brand varies among other gamers. It's nothing we should be bothering about. This thread would be of real significance had the term "confident" been replaced with "hyped".

Yes. They have a history of doing so.

Haze will beat Halo... it fails
Resistance / Killzone will beat Halo... it fails.
God of War A will be best in series... it fails.

Gamers and the industry are looking forward to Sony's next console while haters are spreading negativity and making excuses. Period.

As this thread could just have easily been titled 'fanboys getting over confident?' it becomes extremely obvious that, op, as an xbox fan, is intimidated by the fact that Sony are giving playstation fans major reasons to be excited, i can only assume the thread exists purely to ease his own insecurities. 'they're just being over confident, i've got nothing to be worried about' while at the same time being over confident himself that Microsoft will reveal a console that would outdo the ps4 and allow microsoft to lead the next gen.

Lets look at some facts:
1) specs for both consoles were leaked, by the same people for much of the info, despite the ps4 leaked specs having only 4gb of ram, the general concensus was that it was still a more powerful machine.
2) official specs are roughly outed by sony, doubling the ram, eradicating the only conceivable technological advantage for the 720's rumored specs.
3) AMD themselves (makers of both consoles cpu/gpu) have stated the one they designed for Sony is the most powerful one they've made for anyone.
4) Industry concensus that this gen Microsoft are focusing more on media capabilities and chargable services
5) general rumors of crappy drm, online requirement, used game blocking, kinect-always-in-use

What you end up with is a realization from Microsoft that their online services made them more money than their games, and now they want to basically rape this fact and offer as many chargable services for their new console as humanly possible, while pushing Windows 8 (or potentially Windows Blue either at launch or in a future update) to the consoles so they can bolster their OS division with the ability to add the consoles to their list of 'x84 machines running windows'.
All in all it seems Microsoft are kicking games out of the driving seat and letting them instead ride shotgun while they drive down every toll road in the world - where as Sony, it's ass still stinging from the pain dealt out from the ps3, is on the verge of collapse and knows it cannot afford to mess up as badly as the ps3 again, shutting down major facilities and selling off expendable stock and assets to bolster it's mobile and games divisions, theyre going all out to correct the mistakes of 2006 and make another success like the ps1, ps2.

All signs are pointing to the very real possibility that they're well on track to do that, too.

So you ask why playstation fans are 'over confident', because Sony are giving them every single reason possible to feel that way.

There will always be fringe fans who take it to the next level, completely oblivious to reality - this is not confined to one group.

Posting something positive doesn't always point to overconfidence.  Using your faulty logic, you're over confident that these positive PS4 comments are only from Sony fans who are supoosedly over confident.  Sony provided a great console with the PS3, and it's reasonably hopefully that they will provide more with the PS4.  It sucks for you that you choose to miss out as an over confident Xbox fan.

Yup, they are way too over confident and its going to bite them in the ass.

Ever consider the possibility that the ones hating on the recent positive hype around the playstation brand may well be the ones eating their own words?

or are you still under the impression that microsoft will hastilly change their console from the ground up in an attempt to outdo the ps4, which will only result in : higher price, lower reliability.
