I agree. Japan is the 3rd biggest market and Microsoft should attempt to break thru.

At the same time, I don't see that happening. They need non-shooters to get support in Japan.

As long as Xbox has strong multiplayer titles, it will sell well in the US and UK regions.

Are we in 2001? Because the Xbox 1 managed to(barely) outsell the Gamecube only... Oh, you're talking about the Xbox One. Right. I don't know, but making those predictions generally isn't a good thing: the consoles predicted to sell the most on the internet are actually the ones that sell the worst.

Why "calm down" ? My post was very nice and indeed very calm...
Don't assume people are upset or anything else just because they are replying to you lol I even added a ":)"...

Seriously dude... You need to take a break from the internet... Do not textwall post like this just because you want to hammer you point....

I got it, I disagree with it but I got it. And stop posting "clues" like people are too dumb to understand what you are saying just because they do not agree with your oppinion...

All of the things you posted are irrelevant to my point of Microsoft having a vision (not the most easier one to fight for, but still a vision) and the fact that I (or other "Xbox fans" like you call them) believe it may work in a long term.

Be respectfull please :)

And if you reply again, just keep in mind that we understand your point (understand != agreeing with it)...

Why do people keep saying this?

The Xbox from 2001 was simply called "Xbox" this system is called "Xbox 1" 

No these are not facts. These are only hopes or speculations.

PC is ALREADY doing everything the PS4/Xbox One does in term of gaming, so if we follow your  reasoning people should not be interrested by the next gen console at all...

Just stop bashing other's opinion with your so called "facts"; they are not.

Look just because you can't say either way what will happen, doesn't mean evidence doesn't exist to support a future conclusion.

The PC argument is grabbing at straws. PC has been doing more and better than what consoles do since the beginning of everything. Why would it change now? You're just throwing that out there and saying "that's your logic".

PCs are much more expensive (for the average consumer) and tend to get all sorts of other problems like viruses, etc. Consoles are not only optimized to play games, but their hardware actually significantly outperforms the same hardware in a pc. There are myriad reasons why that example doesn't work. And this has been the main reasoning why consoles have thrived, because they're cheap, and easy. They take out the complication of having too much, and simplify, which increases performance and dramatically lowers price by comparison.

Specialization is what has helped consoles thrive.

You're taking my argument of people buying out of convenience and specialization, and saying that I'm logically saying that nobody would buy consoles because of PCs. It's like the opposite of my point.

TV isn't a draw (to the casual audience) because the other products are cheaper and more closely align (by a wide margin) with what a casual interested in tv controls wants.

XB1 doesn't do the tv control significantly better than the competition, and where it counts (price) it's severely outclassed... it's not cheaper, and it's not easier. There are specialized products that do what xb1 does in terms of tv control for a lot cheaper, and a lot easier, and a lot smaller.

Oh, and don't forget that xb1 STILL needs another box in order to even USE the tv function...and it's a Microsoft peripheral. I mean, COME ON. So it's not just 500, but probably another 100, on top of live. If those numbers aren't looming catastrophically above you like a towering building beginning to lean over, I don't know what else to say to you. It's sheer madnees what they're expecting people to pay for.

These aren't opinions imagine. These are facts.

I'm trying to be rational but given the facts that we know up to today, I don't see how the X1 will outsell the PS4, for a variety of reasons.

1. If the XBox brand is so strong, how is it that despite having a 1 year head start coupled with Sony completely screwing up the PS3 launch, the PS3 has now surpassed the 360 in global hardware sales?

2. Price matters. Sony learned it the hard way with the PS3. $100 goes a long way for the general casual audience.

3. How will MS support the X1 come year 6 and beyond? The 360 started out strong with tons of great exclusives. It looks like it will be the same with X1. However, the last couple of years things have slowed considerably in terms of AAA exclusives. Meanwhile, Sony is still showing very strong support for the PS3 in 2013 with exclusives like TLOU, Ni no Kuni, Beyond: Two Souls, and GT6. If you want to sell a lot of consoles, having a long life cycle is key. Sony has shown that they are committed to a 10-year life cycle with their consoles. MS doesn't seem to share that same vision.

4. E3 fallout and MS's flip flop. This doesn't affect the hardcore supporters, but it does with the console-agnostic gamers. MS came out in May during their Reveal to announce to the world their grand vision of the future of gaming and the bold direction they're taking with the X1. Whether you agreed with it or not, they at least had a vision. Couple months later after some bad PR and internet firestorms, they do a complete 180 and throw their grand plans out the window. So what exactly is their vision now? And how confident are you in their leadership in guiding the direction of this new console? Would you be completely shocked if they flip-flop on something else later on? I think for a lot of gamers who were on the fence before, they may take a wait-and-see approach before deciding to invest in an X1.

5. Kinect and privacy issues. This is probably minor, but it will impact a segment of gamers who do care about these types of things. I can see some parents being wary about this because of things they read or hear that may or may not be true. For some of them they may choose to just take the conservative route and get their kids a WiiU or PS4 (which are both cheaper) instead and not have to deal with this issue at all, even it turns out to be a non-issue.

I think ps3 had outsell all Nintendo home console expect Wii.It is imposible that wii u outsell ps4 due to 3rd party.
