The numbers look worse for MS when you put it that way.

The one (ok maybe 2...no 3) casting decisions they got right in that series of movies.

I have a PC webcam that I use for streaming, is it compatible?
Sorry for OT.
Wrong, but I'm not going to explain why again.

It is a good price and a choice. Even though the Kinect is far superior people don't like to be forced to buy an accessory.

That's because it's the correct way to look at those numbers.

Nah, there is a special aux port on the back of the ps4 dedicated to camera and future peripheral use. The camera is $60 if you can find one.
You don't need the camera to stream though.

Playroom + Twitch/Ustream streaming is extremely popular.
I seriously doubt it will be. At the very least companies like NisA and Aksys will continue to bring over games because they make good money off their vita releases (the vita pool might not be huge but it does well for niche games that only need 20-50k copies sold to turn a profit)
As for first party, well we will have to see. On one hand the vita isn't doing honorably in japan right now and thus it should still get games made for it there. On the other, if they get localized is another story.
At the very least we know we will never see a major western third party game made exclusively for the console at this point.

Just like they bought the shit out of 3D World!

Nope. If you want your face visible to the stream audience, you need the Camera. It's proprietary connection.
However, you don't need the Camera to stream if you just want to show the game footage.
Oh, no wonder! That's a very reasonable price.

I honestly don't think they would be that different. Early adopters have money to spend, they just appear to want to spend it on the PS4.

and watch sony move their product and services forward with psnow and morpheus, on top of ps+?
frankly, fortaleza doesn't seem enticing at all. why transport a game to your world instead of transporting yourself to the game's world?

What an incredibly short sighted post. The systems haven't been released for 6 months yet. Remember that the 360 had a huge turnaround mid cycle and now near the Wii's total sales. I'm not saying that will happen again, but to call it over is very premature.
IT'S OVER LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT'S OVER!
I have a hard time imagining a month where Xbone will outsell PS4 at this point, besides maybe price drop month. Titanfall was as hot of an exclusive as you can ask for. Maybe Halo?

Some of the key differences is that Sony had a clear advantage over MS in terms of first party support, they initially priced themselves way out of the market, and Sony had a lot more worldwide potential with the PS3 that the XBONE simply doesn't have.

How did Wii U do YoY compared to last March?

Nice to acknowledge "we know what we need to do". I think a lot has changed as fast as it could since June 2013 and the team has done a great job making changes as fast as they have. I think they definitely do know what they need to do and the relevant games. services, and changes will be coming. I am so glad Mattrick is gone. Marc Whitten was always cool but I think Phil is an amazing choice and I am excited to see what he does.

Heck, it's already "Sprinting" unless Microsoft does something drastic.

up, but apparently not by much
Mine. You don't care about Kinect and obviously you enjoy speaking for other people. I already stated that KSR, to me at least, wasn't even the reason I enjoy Kinect. I have used it in other titles and actually think KSR looks like shit. I don't want Kinect to be used for games like that; let me use it in some innovative ways on core titles like they have already, use it for OS functions and I will continue to enjoy it .
*if* you are at all interested in the future potential of Morpheus, the camera is also VR-ready, since it can capture up to 240fps footage.

I think it might have to do with Microsoft trying to achieve its 5m sold by end of fiscal year. I believe March is the end of that year? Or was that just for Sony? In any case, Sony has shattered their goal of 5m sold through by over 2m consoles. Sony also managed to win against Microsoft's biggest exclusive till Christmas and aggressive Xbone bundles and price drops. It seems the theory that a lot of Titanfall players either stayed on the 360 and PC, or already bought their Xbone. However you dice it:

Likely little change. My guess right now ~70k; 2013 was 68k.
Yep, which is why I don't see Xbone replicating it the way things are now. I guess they could try to build their worldwide appeal, but it would still be a very long, arduous process that still wouldn't result in a full PS3-style recovery.
according to john harker it's up yoy, so probably around 70k.
Well that isn't saying much.
If the majority of people buy Mario Kart that's 3-4million sales. Not too shabby despite horrible marketshare.
I'm wondering what the internal talk is tho. Because they did try to market the hell out of it.
Not really what I'd call a waste, just wasn't enough.
Well they were already proven wrong with that with the Wii and the PS3 last gen.

Better, according to John Harker:-
EDIT:- Beaten by theprodigy, bloody hell the thread is still moving rapidly even at this time.
That is a good point, but what is over anyway? The Xbox One isn't going to stop being produced and MS isn't going to pack up, take its ball and go home.

I am sure that after the success of Playroom, MS might be secretly building their own "Playroom" app somewhere in Redmond. Playroom sold plenty of PS Eye cameras and combining it with streaming was a genius idea for sure.

keke another nice guy act from from "have you seen titanfall?"
Well, we have seen Titanfall now major.
Believe it or not, I have this weird little feeling that when ps4 reaches 10 million units sold this little "first to 10 million wins" thing will come back like a boomerang towards MS

The attach rate on vita games is too high I think. It's not like the Wii where all software sans Nintendo first party just straight up stopped selling. All those indie ports are selling, and those niche japanese games are somehow finding an audience to justify a localization. Probably not gangbuster #s, but profit is profit, if money is lying on the table you pick it up.

Made a whopping $20 bet last year with another gaffer that by May 2014 the Ps4 would end up having sold more in the us than the xbone. They might as well just pay me now
Please.
I just want some great games and features, man. Both systems will offer that, but I'm just more sold on the Xbox One for the first system I plan to buy.
As for their AR plans, I'll wait and see what they have to offer before deciding if I dig it or not. But I do think the possibilities are nice and am looking forward to seeing it.
