There are things that are impossible. For example VGC threads without grammars error.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I can't see this happening, I'm sorry.

1: Which goes back to what im saying, Both systems have the same type of games, some are better then others on different systems but it doesnt mean one console is selling better then the other based off quality of games.

2: Its all down to how a console is marketed. Much like the Wii.

1: Only few people claim that PS4's success is solely because of its exclusive library (though games like Bloodborne and Infamous did move a lot of units when launching). Many multiplats are actually far bigger console sellers for PS4. Of course many buyers expect a lot of quality 1st party games during the gen like we had with the PS3.

2: Marketing means a lot. We know that. BBH does a far better job than Deutsch. Branding power means a lot as well. But marketing and branding alone don't make a success. Just look at Microsoft's billion dollar marketing budgets for Zune, Windows Phone, Surface, etc.

Sony actually did a clever job in building the PS4 regarding both hardware and software. Furthermore, the popularity wasn't simply handed to them. They made a large number of right choices including $100 cheaper than the competition at launch, stronger specs than the competition, fast and fluid OS and shorter download times than the competition, features like PS Now, share play and remote play, no blocking of used games, no daily online check required, no mandatory camera, vast improved controller, great design (slick, yet internal power brick and user-replaceable hd), history of strong 1st party (10+ prominent inhouse dev studios) and 3rd party library (unrivaled range from Destiny to Yooka-Laylee to niche JRPGs), etc.



Sony fucked up in every way imaginable with the PS3 and the two still managed to stay toe to toe for the entire generation. Microsoft just doesn't have the presence in Europe to win a generation.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Nope. Can't happen and won't ever happen.

Of Course they can, Xbox is a brand just like Nintendo and Sony and Sega etc. There are no advantages that favour any of them, if anything Xbox has a huge advantage since they are under one of the most wealthiest corporations in the world.

If Xbox really wanted to win the console market they would just sell X1s for $50 world wide, they can afford to do that (they wont because that wont look good on the shareholders) but if they really wanted to they can. This is why gamers need to stop looking at Sales charts. Consoles can sell more based off many things and quality of the product isn't included. They can sell by Bundles, Price Cuts, manufacturing issues, Blu Ray Drives, and simple advertisements.

It makes me laugh when a gamer comes to me talking about "This console is the best because of its sales" when I look at them thinking, there's another suckered in by the marketing. No one seems to care that the Wii dominated the competition last generation because of my points above, Cheaper, bundles, advertisings can lead to winning a console war not games. Lucky for Nintendo's Wii they covered all bases including games.

Lets be honest here when we look at the PS4 and XB1

Ryse - The Order
DriveClub - Forza Horizon 2
Killzone SF - Halo MCC
Bloodbourn - Dead Rising 3
Infamous - Sunset Overdrive
Knack - Ori and the Blind Forest
TLOU-RM - State of Decay-RM
Little Big Planet - Project Spark
Street Fighter V - Killer Instinct
Uncharted 4 - Rise of the Tomb Raider
God of War 4 - Gears of War 4

and many more to come etc.

I haven't put them in the best order but that's only but lets take a good look at that list and can you see a clear winner? Both have better games then the other, Where PS4 has the better Horror game, XB1 has the better Racing game etc

There isn't that much of a difference in terms of quality between the two to justify a superior console and to say one is selling better then the other based off its own library of games. There both equal when it comes to the games, I tip my hat off at Sony for there great marketing because honestly that's all it takes these days to sell consoles. With the change of CEOs at Xbox, they will learn from this and only become better for it with there next effort.

PS3 had a slow start last gen and even out at the end of the generation, XB1 is having a slow start this generation and will most likely end on the same note as PS4.

Gamers need to rejoice and stop hating on other systems. I am a PC gamer and to see people talk down at one another is just sad and gives gaming a bad name. If the 360 didnt do what it did to the PS3 last gen, do you think the PS4 would be what it is today? No.

Just by reading your first paragraph tells me that you don't know what you are talking about.  So Sony winning 3 out of the last 4 generation is pure luck, yeah right.  And yes ps4 won this generation whether you like or not and No, xbox one won't have the same "luck" ps3 had last gen.  It's obvious you don't understand the factors as to why ps3 did a turnaround last gen.  I can assure you it won't happen to xbox one.



Of course, the only thing they need to do is not to f* everything up at reveal...
