It kind of actually is. 
At least for me.
It'd take a lot for Sony to mess up. They have so many studios that are making unannounced games, and there hasn't been a God of War, Uncharted, or Gran Turismo announced for it yet.
Nothing is set in stone. Who knows how all of this is going to play out?

I think Sony is really going to have to push the $100 price difference at least for the launch window. As you point out, there are really only two major exclusives, Killzone and Infamous (quality games, but not system sellers) in the launch window. Driveclub is no Gran Turismo so that is not helping much.
From an objective standpoint, I think we can agree MS threw a lot more money at grabbing exclusives for their launch window which has resulted in a better lineup (at least for launch). What MS has going against it is price, and bad press post E3.
They have already taken steps to combat the price with free game inclusions for some regions, but bad press is a much harder thing to fix.
Will be interesting to see sales 1-2 years in.... Will exclusives and kinect 2.0 sell the system? Will Wii U make a comeback? Will Sony be number one in sales after a surprise defeat last gen?
Will be a fascinating generation just from a sales point of view.
As long as each company sells enough to have a wii Z, xbox two and ps5, i'll be happy.

The Wii-U is gonna win silly!
| Gamerace said: Don't count your chickens before they're hatched. Common thinking back in 2006 was PS3 was sure to dominate the next generation, even with a $599 price tag, that MS would do 'okay' and that Wii would be Nintendo's last system as it was doomed for failure. In hindsight clearly that was way off base, but at the time all the analysts and 'experts' and fanboys predicted it. From a short-sighted viewpoint, PS4 has this one in the bag, but it's not about launch price or launch line-ups. Having Kinect on every XB1 will allow for gameplay that while possible (with Move) won't be supported on PS4. Currently that's limited to some voice commands but as the generation goes we might see some amazing uses of Kinect with subtle face or finger recognition affecting gameplay in major 'core' games and sports titles. If it's compelling (ie: fun) it'll make the XB1 version the definitive version for these games. That's a game changer. Nintendo's early launch may have been wasted on one hand, but on the other, it gives them a chance to ditch the misguided WiiU quickly and launch another system within this gen. If they go back to their 'blue ocean' strategy they can come back with both a system on par with PS4/XB1 (or a little better) and gameplay mechanics that they can't match - along with mass market accessibility (like Wii) for a reasonable price. Despite a late launch, if it has both Wii's mass appeal and ease of porting all games it'll be a must have system for all and will be able to overtake the lead of PS4/XB1 (similar to Wii overtaking 360's year lead) The other factor here is the growth of mobile gaming and now Android/iOS home systems. This cannot be ignored as this market already dwarfs the handheld market and is probably close to par with home consoles if not bigger - and growing. While they can't match the graphics and processing power of PS4 at the start of the gen, they will certainly have surpassed it by the end of the gen. While it's split up among so many players it's hard to gauge, but if someone (probably Google/Apple themselves) gets it 'right' and becomes the go to system for home Android/iOS games, it could also beat out PS4 by the end of the gen. Or even if no one system does it, mobile/home based Android/iOS system might erode the console market away making PS4 the winner of a lost cause. |
bolded:I didn't read this. stand up gold for sure.
I don't think saying the PS4 will come out on top is shortsighted really.
Out of the gate, it is going to take the lead. Maybe Wii U battles it off until spring, but that's at the latest. So say around summer 2014. PS4 is in the lead, with either Xbox or Wii U trailing.
Unless Kinect 2 someone makes waves, Xbox will probably not catch up to PS4. A system that will worse versions of most of the same games while being more expensive will not attract that many gamers. Unless Microsoft changes their strategy to getting/making as many exclusives as they can, I really don't see them surpassing Sony for a long while. Sony is going to have more exclusives. It's almost guaranteed. Those exclusives will stretch late into it's lifecycle. If PS4 gets an early lead, Xbox won't be able to outstretch PS4 to beat it.
That leaves Wii U. Many people are pegging it as a failure already, but I think it has a chance for second place. A price cut will happen eventually, and when it does, Wii U will look very attractive to casuals and families. Nintendo's lineup this holiday may be lacking, but come next holiday, Wii U will be a cheaper system with a huge library full of very high profile exclusives as well as plenty of bundles. I honestly see the Wii U beating out the X1. Microsoft's console will always be more expensive, always require money to do anything online, and will never have near as many exclusives.
I predict PS4 to win with Wii U in second and X1 trailing both of them.
I'm willing to predict that if ps4 launch in the same date or before than xbox one, ps4 will be in front for the rest of the gen.
