This generation is gonna start of with a PS4 lead.
because..
1: Low price.
2: Sony's gaming brand is way stronger then Xbox brand worldwide AND in the US.
3: Insane demand for PS4. (3month shortage remind anyone of the ps2 release?)
4: Neither console has any "Must Have" exclusive. Thus advantage goes to cheapest console..)
5: No Wii to compete with. Causal gamers have grown out of motion control fad.(aka kinect)

Xbox is a bigger gaming brand than Playstation in the US. It took Microsoft to basically fail in every single part of the Xbox One reveal to get the Playstation brand back on equal footing. One price drop+Titanfall+Halo and US is back to Xbox land.

Disagree, PS1 and ps2 says hi.....PS3 was late, expensive and did everything wrong...There is a good chance playstation will be as big or bigger in the US then x1 this time.

Xbox is a bigger brand in the US right now. There is no doubt. Why are you using consoles that are 15+ years old to back up your argument? If that is the case then NES says hi.

They have Infamous to combat Titanfall which will do nothing.

You do realize that the vast majority of Titanfall's sales for consoles is going to come from the 360, right? And those who are interested in playing it, but don't necessarily want a Xbox, will probably just play it on PC.

LOL I see Heisenberg is banned already. After seeing only a couple of his posts I had a feeling it's an iamdeath alt. Maybe I was correct.

Anyway Dec 14th numbers for the US are out here.. are these the numbers where PS4 was supposed to sell 250k+? If so, I guess he was only off by 100k or so.

Well, Titanfall looks nice, and it could even end up doing better on XBOne, although not immediately, but later, but from what I saw in the trailers, I highly suspect its fan base will mostly overlap with Halo one and a lot less with true mech fans, that could prefer Hawken. So having both Titanfall and Halo on XBOne could be a very good incentive for XB360 gamers to upgrade, but a smaller one for totally new adopters not owning any MS console yet.

The preorder numbers disagree with you.

There are more news from Thuway.

  • The January drive update will give a 10% performance boost for developers.

The best part of this thread is having more Xbone supporters derailling the thread (the ones who complain about ps fans doing) taking shots at ps (but make threads about how ps fans like to harass them) complain about a leaker that have mixed record (but made threads using totally unreliable source for it *cough* mister X-media, defended him. And Cursed who proved him wrong)... So much fun that it wasn't usefull for anything other than laughing material and hypocrital confirmation.

Seems like Thuway was right about 250k PS4 sold in 2nd week of December.

Sony back up it and shows that PS4 could be the NPD winner in December too.... so much sales.
