We wont know MS's brand loyalty until the end of the gen, but just because people purchased a 360 instead of a PS3 does not mean they will buy an XboxOne over a PS4. I'm afraid you are totally misunderstanding the game market. I already know 2 staunch Xbox users who only care about the games, they liked their Xbox360, but have only the need to play the best games. Cost was also a consideration... cheapest but more powerful is a powerful combination for the core gamer.

PS3 still has some sales to go, in many markets the ps3 actually sold best once it went to a budet price. There are still millions of sales to be had and with Sony still making games for it, there is very good reason to think that it can go and hit 100+ million easily. You know that the PS2 sold many more millions after going to a budget price right? (were talking tens of millions).

MS messed up their launch year pretty badly, Sony is currently outselling them in pre-orders, anything can certainly happen in the next 12 months, but at the moment what you are suggesting is certainly not being shown by the market at this moment in time.

In believing the Wii-u will be the best selling console,... sorry that is just *NOT* going to happen. The wii-u is a 30-40 million console if they are lucky. Weak technology, poor marketing, launch too late, competition from the PS3/Xbox360, lack of 3rd party.. it's going to be last this gen no doubt.

It's too early to call from PS4/XboxOne, especially with a 5+ year plan, but I think there will be a 10-20 million gap this time between Sony and Ms... but MS did very well this gen counter acting Sony's moves, so they have a good chance of keeping up. Overtaking Sony without a year extra, without a more powerful console without a price benefit and with a poor message to consumers so far... thats going to be a challenge, but Sony were able to do the same. There is always a chance, but if Sony launch well in europe in the countries MS doesnt, I don't see Sony losing out this gen unless they mess it up.

The bolded part exactly how Microsoft took gamers from Sonys marketshare and made them defect. A gen with Microsoft and Sony launching head to head and with Sony having more powerful hardware at a lower price gives the edge to Sony. Last time I saw Sonys preorders they were ahead of MS 2:1 in America and in the world Its basically 3:1. They have over a million preorders WW.

I agree, but it costs too much either way.

Have you seen FIFA?

Do you actually understand what brand loyalty even is? or are you just churning out nonsense you read someone else say?

if people went from PS2 to 360, its not microsoft brand loyalty

if people went from xbox to xbox 360, THAT would be brand loyalty.

360 launch with no direct competitor from Sony, for 11-16 months depending where in the world you lived, those wanting a new console and not wanting to wait a year to get one, bought a 360, some didnt buy a ps3 due to price, or simply having felt comfortable with the 360, others did.

But seriously, claiming microsoft has "more brand loyalty", because people went from a SONY console to a MICROSOFT console is just outright crazy,

Also, incase you havent been paying attention lately - despite an additional year to a year and a half on sale, the 360 is no longer ahead in sales, so even if all current owners of current systems stuck with the brand consoles they currently have, the ps4 would still come out on top.

Now on to the bold. The console hasnt even hit 80 million in sales yet and youre claiming each and every one of them are all ex sony fans? you know, some people.. i dont know.. own more than just one system.. and if i was going to make such claims id be more inclined to say the Wii got more of sonys players than the xbox did.

But hey, keep crafting that world of delusion.

i still dont understand why people think microsofts lineup is better, sonys is already better and there still hasnt been anything announced from naughty dog ssm or mm. imo, sonys indie lineup is better than any of microsofts exclusives besides titanfall, and nothing exclusive announced from either camp comes close to infamous second son, that is by far the best looking exclusive next gen

i think the ONE is a great console . but alot of people dont want kinect they wouldnt use it so to them its $100 dollars down the drain . ms will do a kinect free console otherwise its not going to capture the mass market who always buy the cheaper alternative. id get the kinect personally its cool

Yes that definitely contributed greatly to its sales, if im not mistsken its been bundled with every Kinect outside of special edition bundles like the Star Wars one. I didnt want to get into an argument over what caused the games to sell tho, just wanted to show him that a majority of PS exclusives sell on par or greater than many Xbox exclusives.

This is unprofessional, in my opinion.

LOL!
