No offense but Sony fanboys are dreaming if they think the PS2 era is coming back (I have picked the PS4 to win worldwide though).

XBox is a much stronger competitor today than it was 10 years ago, they are the defacto "hardcore" gaming brand in the US and have the best marketing (sorry, Sony, take a seat) machine behind them.

Honestly too the XB1 launch lineup for actual GAMES is clearly better than the PS4. Forza, Killer Instinct, Dead Rising 3, Rhyse > Killzone and Knack. 

Saying XB1 launch line up is better then ps4 it's totally objective,and xbox360 was a strong competitor becuase it launched a year and half before ps3 and was less expensive and multiplatform was superior xbox one don't have any of this adventage.


Well at least you agree, it is objectively better.  I agree with that too.

sorry i mean subjective.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

lmao... and the rest of the article says...

 

They also anticipate a large waiting list for Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)’s Xbox One, suggesting a prolonged industry sales slump is ending.

 

Sony said on Nov. 17 it sold more than 1 million PlayStation 4 consoles in the U.S. and Canada within 24 hours of the $399 machine going on sale. The figure included some of the 1 million units Tokyo-based Sony presold on a global basis, said Dan Race, a PlayStation spokesman.

Microsoft’s $499 Xbox One goes on sale tomorrow in 13 countries and also is expected to be in high demand after a seven-year drought on new home consoles from the two companies. Nintendo Co. (7974)’s Wii U is entering its second year of sales.

......

 

 

I believe there is a difference between 'is expected' and 'millions are waiting'.

“In addition to selling through all of our reservations and some additional allocation that we have received from Sony, we still have over 2.3 million customers on the First to Know List, which indicates continued demand for months to come.”

It's global too.

That's a LOT of customers waiting! Good for Sony! If they can keep supply up then they will make a LOAD off of the PS4! Now I am ready to see what the XB1 launch sales will look like! Hoping they do good as well!



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

You forgot that Sony has been in this game much longer than MS has. Sony has a stronger PlayStation brand behind them. Sure MS is a strong competitor, but I always will say Sony and Nintendo are the kings of the gaming industry, just because the larger number of quality games they have pumped out over the coarse over almost 2 decades.

Forza? Good game but... no thanks, not interested. Killer Instict I have no care for, along with Dead Rising 3. And Ryse is already confirmed crappy.

And you highlight "GAMES" like PS4 is done with releasing games LOL. Relax dude, launch games are never really that great anyways, the AAA games are yet to come. A lot of people are enjoying KZ, and shit even people are saying Knack is fun despite the reviews. So you sitting here saying one console has "better games" is really a bland statement, because when it comes down to it, whether you like it or not.. people will still play and enjoy the games.

2.3 million for PS4 AND Xbox One, not just PS4



Aerys on 21 November 2013
