I wonder how much buzz it will generate when some real news actually comes out! Anyway over the past 3 months I would say talk about Xbox Infinite is at a higher level than talk about the PS4 before it's reveal. Not that any of this matters can't wait to play either the PS4 or Xbox. Hopefully after the 21st I have a better Idea which one I'm getting first.

Seriously?? Are we that quick to forget the insane hype before the PS4 announcement? There were hundreds of kaz gifs created for that single conference, for pete's sake. And the gaf thread got over a million views,


Sorry I don't think VGChartz or GAF are good ways to measure how much media buzz the PS4 event recieved. I know it was a good amount of hype that I don't deny, just not as big as some make it out to seem. 


Vgchartz and GAF might not be but Youtube kinda is. PS4 video went viral.

Also it was on the mainstream news....

People all over the place were talking about it or atleast aware, im talking about non gamers. The event delivered.

Its died down and i dont know how people actually felt about the console itself...so this isnt a long term thing. But in terms of getting the word out there to just about everybody relevant and making them aware of the PS4, they succeded 100%.

Now the full reveal, release and games need to take it from here.

Like I said it had great hype. I do agree with most here the Next Xbox reveal hasn't generated that much Hype compared to PS4 I'm ready and eager to pre order my PS4. 

I think perceived hype will also depend on what region you living in.

US im assuming will have more hype for nextbox....i have no clue what effect the PS4 event had on the US market, but im guessing it was minimal :/

It was good, but my friends in real life and over Xbox live didn't hear about it until I told them about it.

If that's the case, that's terrible for Sony. I mean, Ms has shown pretty much nothing. It should have been at least 4x or more. Oh well, we'll see.

Next Xbox Reveal Set For May 21, 10:00 A.M. PST, Livestreamed ( 1 2 3 4 5 ... Last Page )  867,055 views. 

And there is still 3 days left...  I think both gamers are equally hyped. I also was hyped for Sony's presentation, of course.

I love all this underestimating of Microsoft. The tide will turn... and how!

Saving this one, just incase.

PS3 has just had or is just about to pass in two weeks time X360's lifetime sales, which is Microsoft best try in the gaming arena and is still poised to end in third place.

Sony has restructured, reorganized, refocused and is more committed than ever to gaming, after starting as horribly as could be imagined and will still end in second place (first if we take into account the best predictions due to ongoing Other sales into the future), where other consoles with the same starting points (mostly bad launch games, overpriced launch, difficult to program for) failed miserably and drove their owners out of business.

Yet some people think that the next Xbox is somehow handily going to kick PS4's butt. Even with the small amount of information that we have right now about the next-gen, the mind boggles at the lack of common sense when faced with the current reality.

"social media"

forums = social

Don't listen to them.

I respect your useless anecdotal evidence.
