I find it funny that playstation fans dislike the x1 so much and want it to fail and vice versa. Seriously, they share like 90% of their game catalogue with each other and have almost the same specs and features. One would think if a person enjoyed one of the systems they would like the other because they are pretty much the same thing...

As far as whether the x1 is doomed, the answer is no. Will it sell better than the ps4? The answer is also no. Will the x1 be a success for microsoft? The answer is most probably yes.



wow wait.. x1 have the same specs as ps4? Can your facts be more straight? 


Can you read? I did not say they have the SAME specs.


Can you read? I was telling you your facts were really straight.

While they are similar, they are worlds apart.

That was... Contadictory...

Think about it like the Olson twins. Supposedly, one likes it in the butt and the other is vagina only. Differences can be huge even if extremely similar.

You were telling me... Yet you used a question mark... Hmmm...

Ok, but im pretty sure most people would be incredibly excited to be getting it on with either of the olson twins, no matter which route they took...

Damn I hope it's the new Dreamcast, that system was amazing.



I'm a PS4 owner and have always prefered Sony but to say Xbone is doomed is going to far it has sold well and hopefully will continue to do well Sony needs competition.

Cleverness doesn't prove points, roy.

Yes, the majority of people (casuals) would like either Olson (console) if given the chance. If they had to pay for it, then you might start seeing preferences pop up.

im not the one who brought it up, he did. and no, multiplatform games sell consoles. look at CoD, GTA and Fifa for proof. 


Yep. Multiplatform games can definitely move consoles. Especially when the console in question is of a lower pricepoint than its competitor. Destiny for the PS4 is a more attractive price than Destiny for the X1. Same goes for other games like Watch Dogs. It also depends on how much momentum the console already had prior to the launch of the game. If the PS4 is significantly ahead of the X1, and thus has the attention of being the hot console, it's likely that those who are still on the fence and haven't picked one yet and want some of those multiplatform games such as Watch Dogs and Destiny will opt for the PS4. It will be both cheaper and perceived as a safer bet for the longterm.

As far as the PS4's library looking 'pitiful' if Uncharted doesn't release this year, that's making quite a few assumptions. First of all, I would argue that neither library looks like anything special right now. Outside of Titanfall and the next Halo, the X1 has no other games currently aimed at a 2014 release that are generating 'system selling buzz'. As far as I know, there is no official word on when we can expect Fable Legends or Quantum Break. That's even assuming that Titanfall and the next Halo are awesome games. If you want to try and convince me that Sunset Overdrive, Kinect Sports Rivals, or D4 will be amazeballs you're more than welcome to try but I'd advise not wasting your time. Will Infamous: Second Son and The Order: 1886 not be amazing? Possibly but there's also a decent chance that they will indeed be awesome and move some consoles.

As far as titles that may not be system sellers but can certainly help fill out the roster there are plenty. Driveclub may surprise us and be more than just a racing filler for Gran Turismo. There are currently third-party multiplatform games that are announced for the PS4 and not the X1 such as Kingdom Under Fire II and Final Fantasy XIV which is actually proving successful. There are projects yet to be revealed for 2014 on the PS4 such as whatever nDreams is working on along with a number of rumored titles. We also can't forget the smaller games that collectively can make a big difference. Shadow of the Beast, Rime, and Helldivers are smaller games to watch for. Rime certainly has people curious. Then there is the huge list of digital-only games not published by Sony but thus far not announced for X1. Basically, saying that the PS4 needs Uncharted this year to have a good software lineup is being rather ignorant.

i think you replied to the wrong guy  

my presence is this thread was to point out the very flawed and ignorant statement that Destiny has ZERO hype.

Yes, but even if they had to pay for it and had a preference of one or the other, I dont think they would start hating the other option, which is my point.  They are too simliar to hate the other option, at least when looked at objectively.  There isnt a problem with having a preference of one or the other, but when you hate one so much you want it to fail, even though it shares the majority of its characteristics with your preferance, it just feels hypocritical to me.
