It would be very interesting and the price of each console will really affect many people's decision. The console with lower price could go be either cause the PS4 has expensive hardware but the Nextbox will have Kinect 2 which could be expensive. Overall, I won't predict which console will sell better at launch but I will predict that the Nextbox will be cheaper than the PS4.

Europe will be an interesting battle. But so will the US. I think Sony has a great opportunity here to steal back some market there in the West.

Same day launch would be awesome.


The only way Sony can penetrate the US market is if it can get it can build it's reputation up prior to the PS4 release through other markets e.g. TV and, more essentially, the smart phone market. 

If Sony can get the same reputation, or at least similar, to that of Samsung prior to the PS4 release, they may then stand a chance of putting up a good fight in the US.

PS4 and NextBox to launch at the same time: BLOODY WAR in Europe!

Consoles are expensive. The new ones from Sony and MS will be probably 400-500 dollars in America, 1000-1500 dollars here in Brazil, that is a lot of money.

That said, very few people will be able to buy the two juggernauts together in october-november this year, and, althought they will be both amazing, no doubts there, almost everybody will have to choose one.

In North America, is safe to say that Sony will be slaughtered, probably 4 Nextbox will be sold for each PS4, that will never change. If you give the general American a decent patriotic option, they will never buy something that is not American, that is a very patriotic and somewhat curious feature about them. So, even if the PS4 is better, to USA it will not matter.

In Japan, the Nextbox will be slaughtered, probable 10 PS4s for each Nextbox, but the japanese market is small, so, such a advantage will not hinder MS by any means.

Well, now, EUROPE. This continent will be the stage of a bloody combat. Who wins there? It is not safe to say, but it will be a tense time for both MS and Sony there, and a time of wonder and doubt for gamers, no doubt the new consoles will be amazing and incredible, but, which one shall we choose. That is the question that will be on gaming minds across the old continent.

Who will win this battle? Me. You, every gamer wins! Competition, fair competition, is amazing for Video game, and this 2013 hollidays will no doubt be one to remember for gamers.

I hate statments like these. At best this scenario only accounts for an absolutely tiny amount of consoles. I can tell you that easily most kids and young adults (the biggest market for the 360 in the US) are not patriotic at all (AKA, they simply don't care). They buy whatever they deem is best. That's it; end of discussion.

In the end it's really just subjective. You can't say a console is better than another in most cases because it's really all subjective to what people want and like. The next generation will probably end up like this one with both the Durango and PS4 having quality and neither one of them being better than the other except in whatever subjective tests you put on them.

 

OT: I think Europe will be split 66/34 in favor of the PS4

North America will be split 60/40 in favor of the Durango

Japan will be split 95/5 in favor of the PS4

Oceana 50/50 

Asia 80/20 in favor of PS4

South America 60/40 in favor of PS4

Everywhere else 70/30 in favor of PS4



Around the Network

Sony will go bankrupt this generation trying to compete with the new Xbox pricing. You heard it here first!

It is the PS4 launch, the biggest event in the year... so everythink else is just a plus.

Youd be wrong, since MS has a bigger marketing budget.

So a plus with budget .

If I was Ms, I'd advertise Next Box as an "American Console" anything else is Un-American!!

this Slogan would generate millions upon millions of sales in America alone!


NextBox: buy it or the terrorists win.

they could go for the older audience and replace terrorists with commies

It would be funny to see the PS4 guys standing in line across from the 720 guys.
