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!!!

Nope. It gets respect from me when it drops it's anti-consumer policies. Until then it's Xbone.

No chance its going to be so slow out the gate even if they can turn it round after a year or two it will likely take the entire generation to catch up


Actually, they'll both be fast out of the gate. The supply for the first two/three months will easily sell out. From what I'm hearing though Sony will have more supply. After that I think PS4 will continue to outsell the X1 for some time, but you are overestimating the severity. 

Also, the PS3 had spent this whole gen catching up, and now it's in the lead. Never say never.


thanks.

I would never say never, but to think MS can take out Sony and Nintendo in a Gen where there starting with no favourible press, the highest price point and not even the best hardware, crazy.

that word should be considered trolling then...I hope the mods don't allow that the way people are not allowed to use SDF, NDF, or MDF.

This is obviously a fake/promo account.

Not only is the OP completely delirious, but he's also completely omitting why MS has no chance to be the winner.

In fact he has a WordArt smiley avatar, this should have been a clue...


please read endminion's quote and understand!!!

 

Now how do you change the poll again?  B/C this is getting ridiculous.

you are not elaborating.. how exactly?

from a gaming standpoint i have no interest in the X1. which is weird because i brought both X & X360 one launch..

well it's difficult to say.... conceptually Sony and Nintendo are already out.... living in a dying era of gaming and living room entertainment... whether the fans accept it or not Sony is just doing more of the same with more horse power a lot like PC gaming has done and we can see where itis going compare to other market like cellphones and tablets or even consoles.....
For nintendo it's a bit different but still.... MS is future proofing there concept across the board... this has caused already a lot of disruption in people's mind.... for better or for worse....
when you see and understand their vision with all the different businesses hey are in you know they are on the right track and have great concepts to embrace a new era of technology for several decades to come....
the question is, "Is the world ready for it???" right now I would say for the most part they are not.... they are like my grand grandma when they invented the washing machine.... the question is how fast the shift will happen....
and that can happen way faster today than it ever did before... when you see the market penetration of the first radio, then of the first TVs, tape player, cd player, dvd player, cellphone, smartphone, tablets.... you can see how increasingly fast the world can shift....
in 5 years we'll know if MS had the right vision for their business as whole or not.... until then it's pretty tough to say.... but one way or the other.... MS is a behemoth than can take a pounding and get up again and strike back harder.... fan or not a company like MS by its implication and relevance in so many businesses and public services is close to unbreakable....

This took the words out of my head.

still hard to understand this.. so how is the Xone Revolutionary? its graphics are abit worse then the PS4. its a huge negative for gamers and there pockets plus the TV capabilitys are basically just a Sky box menu.. in a Xbox.. there trying to solve a problem nobody had... 

i dont see how your comparing the revolution of Radio, TV, MP3, Iphones and Tablets to.. a xbox? its just agmes console you plus your sky box in.
