Are you people new this whole "console race" thing? Can we please just stop talking about this until maybe 2018?

If anyone is doubting MS and the future success of Xbox One, you're definitely naive to history. As was the last, this generation will be defined over several years, not the first 6 months or even first year.

For the MS/Xbox One haters, do you remember the $600 PS3 that launched in Nov 2006? That system was a disaster for Sony the first year and things finally began to turn around a year later (Nov 2, 2007) when they finally dropped to $399. Read this quote from Sony's president, Howard Stringer, in November 2007, a year after PS3 launched:

"Obviously, we've taken so much heat over the year on PS3 ... Finally, the turning point has been passed."

In July of 2011 PS3 finally began "catching up" to Xbox 360 and look where we are now. And let me just ask this question again: who "won" the last generation? When was that determined? Did it even matter?

Isn't he Doctre81 on youtube? You catch all the shennanigans of him on his YT page. 

Wii won last gen. Even if PS3 or 360 pass the Wii would it really matter? Wii has been dead for a good while now, while 360 and PS3 continued to receive support.

Sounds like a plan.

Everyone won.

Nintendo made a shitload of money, Xbox found its place in relevance and Sony put up a great fight on an uphil battle and finally catching up. And yes it did matter because now the console wars is even more fun :)

I think your prediction is rather reasonable. I think this could be the case, although it'll be either 50/50 or favor the PS4 in the US by the end of the gen.

The UNITY thread was pure gold! It gave me many good laughs!

Please not. I wouldn't even visit the gazillionth Nintendo thread unless it's called "Get your free Wii U now, vivster!"

The only country that might have these consoles going head to heads is NA. Xbox One had a price cut with Titanfall bundle and that never helped.
