xbox's marketing and games (like titanfall) are much too "dudebro" for me. 

    "Hate to break it to you but the majority of console gamers like top notch, twitch run and gun shooters."

..i mean, that sentence right there sums up my complaint quite nicely.  i hate run and gun twitch shooters.  i love artsy fartsy games, puzzle games, and action adventure games.  thats why i love playstation soo much more than xbox.   sony doesn't hone in on one type of gamer as much as MS.   oh sure, heavy rain and demon's souls aren't for everyone but it's these niche titles that broaden their appeal so much.  MS only wants to deal in the mega-hits.  i don't fault anyone in enjoying CoD but i have different tastes than that and don't want a console that doesn't have the games i want.

and sony did scout out third party games,. but they smartly, imo, choose to go after indies.  30 good indie titles are worth much much more than 1 titanfall.  for all the people complaining that "ps4 had no games at launch" take a look at xbone's and ps4 current library.  ps4 has about a 50% larger library already.

...but sony has typically been pretty bad with their marketing.  the "perfect day" one was great but a lot of others not so much.  but then again, all the marketing in the world won't cover up a bad product.  sony has their prioritize straight there.  empty promises make for unhappy (non returning) customers.

Sony as a brand worldwide is much stronger than Microsoft. Microsoft has gained a strong foothold in America though.

I made a thread about this if you're interested.

with how much ps4s are selling, out how much improvement could they much other than increasing supply?

they might not have marketed the launch to appeal the most to you and your dorm, but other than letting Microsoft get some third party exclusives and turning off some by following Microsoft's playbook by charging for online there only big issue is how much media the ps3 can do that the ps4 still can't, and that they can fix.

Sony's marketing has never been enough I think. MS overdose it sometimes though till the point you get annoyed with seeing advertising for their products.

Usher.

Sony is for all form of gamers not just the social-dudebros-yougotsomedoritos-ADHD gamers

PS4s are sold out everywhere, I think Sony is doing fine with the PS4 atm.

Thank god, no Usher performance at a Sony event. Yet.

Frankly, as much as I prefer the Sony consoles and exclusives, I must say that you have to respect the MS PR machine, everything looks and feel polished well prepared and they know how to spread the excitement, even when what they offer is actually not that impressive! it's the perfect incarnation of "fake it until you make it"...
