Shinobi-san said: Thinking about the reveal more and I dont think US and UK are a lock anymore. Reaction has been negative to the reveal by most as far as i can tell. The even started out awesome though MS is going for a whole new market...who says they interested in a console? The hardcore 360 gamers have been quite positive about PS4....if Sony gives them a good enough reason to switch they will. The majority of the ~80 million people who bought 360 are not the market MS was targeting today. MS are trying to go beyond that audience to a larger audience. But its risky and in the pursuit of all those other markets they might just lose their core. Next gen battle still needs to be fought. We need to see how the companies implement their strategies. Saying US and UK are a lock is stupid at this point. You basically basing that off of cool looking voice features, gestures and tv integration....thats not enough.

Sensible post, and largely accurate for right now. However, things will change come E3. I got a feeling core gamers will be VERY happy with what MS shows. Also, as much as the online community hates to acknowledge it, multimedia functionalities are a big deal, and MS looks like they nailed it with this box.

Who cares who's wins I'm sure Microsoft gonna make enough money from it and they already got uk and USA and they will sell enough in Europe to make money as long as they bring me good core games ill support them and I already preordered mine from game shop

Its actually overdue for a PS overconfident thread. But hey, IMO.

We´ll see.

If this story is true (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=160444&page=1#), it´ll be quite interesting to see the potential effect it could have...but then, who´s to say the same won´t be true for the PS4...and in that case, very interesting to see the implications for the industry.

yeah ignore everything else i worte,hardcore wont consign the 1, i expect them to scorn the 1.

Check out what the media is saying about the device, their tone reminds me of 9/11/2001, they all sad and shocked over this this reveal, all trying to defend it.

but whatever, you will see for yourslef.

You know you've got a great product when your own employees are its biggest cheerleaders!

With the blocking of used games, I'm not sure how I feel about the fate of the newbox. I don't think it will win this generation at all. If anything, I see the entire console market shrinking and other emerging techs to continue to rise.

Wouldn't be much fun if I made such a prediction at the same time as everybody else is making theirs now would it?

At the moment its no way at e3 who knows. To early to call but so far not impressed.

Lol guess not, I do like reading some crazy prediction myself :P

I also think the Xbox will win.
