Sony has that, and more of it if you take into account all the damage that has happened to the PS brand for the last few years, financial troubles,tc yet like Maya Angelo "Still I rise"

Thats the vg charts syndron in which people think past gen = next gen. We have seen that this is not automatically the case this gen.

Who have thought that we beable to sell 100 M Wiis.
Who havethought that Sony will struggle so hard the first 2 or 3 years?

Next gen everything can happen.

Everything can happen. But Americans seem to be more open to a always on videocamera in their living room. Germans go nuts over it, not the fee or always on DRM but Kinect and unlike Americans they wouldn't trust a off profile. I think UK is a wild card. I think MS doesn't have as thight a grip on the UK as many seem to think.

I dissagree, yeah past gen is not next gen but it does infleunce next gen.
Certainly to a certen degree.
You think the ps3 would've sold a lot with that insane price tag if ps1 and ps2 didn't exist?

MS will win in the US market, but the gap that separates them from Sony might be smaller.

PS4 will win globally.

uh, everybody I personally know is either going Wii U or PS4 or both of those for the 8th gen especially after the MS conference, so I don't know, I just don't know.

With as many gamers who own both a PS360 paying $38-$60 a year on XBL to use features such as Netflix that they already pay for or play games they've purchased online when the PS3 and PC can do it for free, there are many gamers who will question why they should continue to pay this fee when the PS4 is more powerful than the Xbox One, and online for the PS3 works just as well on all the same games as it does on the 360.

The 360 having its own dedicated servers through XBL does not mean that the game will run better online. It's all about the netcode. That's why those of you who have played the same games for both consoles online, both wired, will know there's no difference. There is a difference using the fat PS3 wireless and the 360 wireless adapter. The fat PS3 has probably the worst wireless component in the world. Wireless in the new PS3s is a lot better.

Regardless that they're trying to market this to casuals by introducing television features. One thing people seem to forget is you need an additional set top box hooked into the Xbox One. You also know that these additional features will cost a fee on top of the $60 a year. Microsoft knows that people who don't play games will get the system and they're not just going to give away a cheap DVR. Like any other DVR, people are going to have to pay for the recording service, whether it's from the cable company or from Tivo. The only people who can use a DVR without paying anything is those people who watch television on their computer, as there are many programs with all the functions that a DVR has if you decide to watch tv through your PC.

So while Microsoft is going for this new market, they're not going to really capture it as easily as most people want to believe. Why spend $500 on a Xbox One then another $100-$200 on a receiver when you can get a Tivo and a lifetime subscription for $600. No monthly or yearly fees afterwards, and while your the Tivo can break down, if it's out of warranty, you'll want to pay to get the Tivo repaired because lifetime subscriptions can't be transferred between Tivos.

Most cable television packages include the cable box within the package. So if you don't get the cable box, your package is usually increased. Why remove the cable box just to get Xbox One which does the exact same thing, with a few exclusive things you can do on a smart tv or PC?

So between casuals that Microsoft is shooting for and their own fanbase with what's now a weaker system on the same 64 bit engine, with $60 a year online fee, and being loaded with DRM, I think they're going to lose many more gamers than they've gained. The fans that purchase multiconsole titles on the 360 and PS3 exclusive only will switch hardware for multiconsole games when the PS4 gets the better version every time and having more exclusives, some may not even purchase the Xbox One at all.

While this is all my opinion on why I think other people wouldn't purchase the Xbox One over the PS4, and atleast the opinion remains true for myself as well. We won't know until both systems are released. Everyone is different.

MS has TV and the NFL in addition to the same games PS4 does. It will win Murica. Who knows about UK.

I don't think XB1 will "automatically" win the US, but I think they probably will power themselves to victory if they do things like money-hat Respawn's FPS game and so on.

When averaged out, we give the least.

I don't know exactly what you mean. The united states is a very giving country as far as chairty work goes. I'm sure you know all of the main ones. We also give billions in foreign aid. Some of that is a waste,in my opinion. Sure we waste alot and could always give more,but that could be said for any powerhouse country.
