Xbox One SA launch heading for 2014

[prod]

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.

Real cool story bro, you just changed the mind of everyone who wanted the Xbox.

So you think the significant price difference, limited release and DRM fiasco won't affect the appeal of the console? E3 was a disaster for Microsoft.

Of course it has. But I, like many others, will still be getting it. Why is this an issue to you?

No issue whatsoever, just highlighted three areas (two of which that will be difficult to overcome; price and limited release) that will see Sony have a massive advantage early on.

A fan of Sony will never change the mind of a fan of Microsoft and vice-versa, but the casual gamer and fence-sitter will likely be swayed by the PS4 due to lower price and wider release.

tbh most fence sitters are waiting for the launch before they choose which one they are buying. but most are leaning towards the ps4

You all are missing the point, this just shows AGAIN how much MS thinks of SA.

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

Well the PS3 does(and at better quality than the 360), so probably yes.

Halve 2, ie July to December

1 half, 2 halves.

Well what did you expect from such a tiny market?

Why don't you work on improving the economy and job creation so more people can afford consoles, so the market gets bigger and they can take us more seriously?
