Well a lot (but not all) of confirmed Xbone fans think Xbone is not going to outsell PS4 (dunno about Wii U). They just think (my interpretation) that the general consumer isn't going to "get" Xbone, and as a consequence they will miss out on the best console ever made (to date, until the Xbone-2).


can we all agree not to call X1 Xbone...it's just wrong and kinda' annoying actually!!!

Sorry I'll call it Xboner from now on :)


Better stop or you'll get reported to the office!!!  I am trying to have the mods treat Xbone the same as SDF, NDF, and MDF.  There is really no reason to call it that!!!

Halo 5 was announced and no one really cared, so i'd love to know what exclusives you have in mind that could possibly have it dominate the generation.


...................That wasnt Halo 5 smh

 

 

Anyways i have been reading through this thread and honestly its so hard not to be a MS defense force fanboy on this site anymore. The amount of blind idiotic bashing this site is literally rivaling N4G. I joined this site about a month ago (been visiting for a few months before) and its literally has become on of the worst communities i have ever seen. I cannot wait for the Xbox one to release and people to realize how great it actually is so they can eat their own words.

unfortunately the site had become more pro-Sony everytime.  Look at the poll and you'll see all the MS and Ninty bashing going on the thread.  People here are fools if they think Sony won't implement some sort of DRM.  They copied MS's charging for LIVE, which many here were so critical of; but don't here a peep about Sony charging for P+.  Anyways, I don't want to remove the poll only take out the option of themselves as it really is getting out of hand.  I think people are voting twice as no way could the results be that one-sided!!!   



The thing I find ridicoulous about this thread is not Xbox beating everybody in sales but kicking PS and Ninty out of the industry ... I mean Nintendo lost their marketshare with the n64 and GC and look at them here they are , alive and kicking ... there is no way somebody is going to get kicked out of the industry in a generation ...



MS is either going to do really good, or really bad with the One. It could do really good, if it sells as a DVR, and gets casual people to play Dance Central and such more often, but at the same time it could do really bad because they are trying to copy steam, and failing as a DRM.

I'm inclined to say, very bad, but I'm a "hardcore" gamer, I'm biased towards aspects of the One targeted towards gaming.

So what we might see, is a split in the casual audience between the Wii/One, and Sony gets the bulk of "core" gamers. If that happens, I think Sony will come out on top, but I dunno who will do better, the One or WiiU....

Well they surely aren't taking anyone out this generation .

PS3 owners will surely upgrade to PS4 rather than go to X1
And many xbox owners aren't happy with MS policies , and thus are moving to PS

As it currently stands Microsoft is getting a lot of bad press( and it's legit ) ... I doubt they will outsell the PS4

But even if they did , and by a large margin ... Sony is still going to get it's profits back .


Bad press created by Sony biased journalist in the gaming industry.  Core will be core but MS is fightng for a larger market that includes mainstream; and breaking out the image of game consoles as toys and part of everyday living. It's just ahead of it's time.  Also those hating on the X1 are pirates that one to give them bad publicity b/c it curbs their illegal activities!!! I personally have no problem with the being on and who here doesn't have internet connection?  Nowadays broadband is more prevalent than cable...Sheeesh!!!

Sony already did that with the PS1.. 

Nope.  Sorry, Playstation brand (just like Nintendo...nothing wrong with it) is still considred by many as just a glorified toy and not a true all in one entertainment brand that MS is clearly marketing the Xbox brand!!!

Posters like this and JusSayian truly make me believe that the Xbot crowd is at least 10-20 IQ points behind the rest of gamers.. Not to say that PS4 gamers have above average intelligence, just that Xbot gamers are below average. Anyway this is just my opinion of course, and what I have observed.

Thanks for being level headed in your response Michael-5.  I would like to ask if we can have Xbone treated the same way as calling someone fanboy or the same mannerism as SDF, MDF, NDF as it really is meant to troll or flame the person who is inclined to go for the system.  A person could easily call it X1, XB-1, or XBox-one.  Allowing people to call it Xbone is really letting people troll the console...in all fairness.

Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)
