considering the way thirs parties are talking and have been talking about microsoft and their next gen plans, it doesn't look good at all

It was just supposed to be a jab at the prievous "Sony fans are getting overconfident" threads didn't read all the posts here to be honest :P 

But well from what people on the internetz say it was dissapointing so well ;-/ nothing you can do.

I agree with the OP, I think that the XB One will take the lead here. I don't think Sony has the funds to pull too many exclusives, where MS has a lot more flexibility to do such. I foresee a lot of exclusive content for the XBOne.

Making people pay to use rented and used games is probably not gonna help it much

Xbox will win unless Apple decides to spoil their party.

When you consider PS4 and Xbox 360 will have 90% same games again with exclusives being the only differentiator, however the Xbox One will offer a slew of other features, the competition really isn't going to last long at the same price point. Console fanboys can account for about ~1 million in sales max, and after that it will be about games, wider mass market appeal and features. Xbox One should easily win 2 out of 3 there.

Some of the posts in this thread...wow, talk about being delusional. PS4 will have 160 million console based on core game exclusives? Makes total sense...

The number one complaint againt Microsoft for the longest time has been the lack of exclusive games. Exclusives are rather important and drive people towards one console or another. The features Microsoft is offering are laregely unimportant to real gamers and casuals already have ways of watching tv or looking at fantasy fooball lol.

I don't understand while desillusioned lying fanb*y like you are not censored

Err... no, i find that very unlikely if you're talking worldwide. If you're talking US... i dunno. But if tonight showed us something is that they are in for alot of pain.

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.

I agree. To be honest MS doesnt have to do much to get all the support the PS4 gets from 3rd party developers. Same goes with PS4...thats just how things have turned out. From a gaming perspective its almost as MS have said "well we pretty much have all the gamers we need, lets try and expand the market in other ways".

Sony on the other hand is saying something like this "lets focus solely on gaming and try and be THE console gamers want". From a gaming perspective it gives them the advantage.

Also just because sony spent their conferene on games doesnt mean it doesnt have similar features to the XBox1. And likewise MS might have it down with games. The point is the focus of the companies are different and it will show in some way through the gen.

It already shows in the hardware. MS going for significantly less capable hardware. We might see Xbox games at 1080p 30FPS but PS4 at 60FPS (if MS allows it lol they probably won't). Gamers take note of these kinda things. This also gives Sony the advantage when it comes to 1st party exclusives. With almost double the performance PS4 games will easily be able to distinguish themselves and really show the advancements.
