Sony is going to curb stomp Microsoft.

I think many Sony people will be greatly disappointed with the PS4 because MS farce of the Xbox One is pushing the customers expectations of the PS4 too high

So Microsoft's kark marketing strategy will make the PS4 seem worse? That is stretching it massively...

The way Sony is stomping MS it's going to give the customers unrealistic expectations

The question of 'who stomped who' will only be answered, again, towards the end of the generation. And it might well, again, turn out that there's comparatively little to choose between the two. Right now though I think the Xbone is looking the more innovative console & for reasons that are my own I prefer not giving Sony any money.

Of what? Sony have set the bar, the cannot help it if Microsoft lowered theirs. It shouldn't affect the PS4.

It's a long list... But I sleep OK at night.

 

[Fudzy]

It will probably be Sony then, I enjoyed the exclusive Sony titles a lot more than Microsoft's.

Old news

 

[FreeStanler]

Will PS4 be able to stream Netflix, Hulu+ etc? Of

 

[prod]

Meh, the people who want to buy the Xbox will still buy the Xbox. But I guess this gives the Sony fanboys something to jerk off to again

Halve 2, ie July to December

Sony is selling their console at a lower price while offering identical hardware (I care not for things like Netfix. It is a gaming console that I want), Sony didn't try and f@ck its fanbase with DRM (they immediately regretted this) and Sony is offering a global release off the bat, so yeah, I guess I'll be happily fapping away over December while you have your Xbox None.

Microsoft have made a complete and utter hash of releasing the Xbox One, that there is no denying and it will give Sony a market edge, especially in SA where we are more price sensitive than Europe and the US and where Sony will have a release advantage.

The fanboys will still buy their preferred consoles but for the fence-sitters and casual gamers the PS4 will be very, very attractive.
