This is just it. All my "real" friends didn't even know about the PS4 event. Not showing the console was a mistake, in my opinion.
Today all my friends are going ape-shit over the XONE stuff... FANTASY FOOTBALL!! YES!!
smh
Xbox One will be Number One in Sales

When E3 is said and done, I think that the core functionalities of PSN remaining free will be a huge selling factor for the PS4. No longer can you justify the XBLG paywall by saying that PSN is an awful service, because they're on par now.
Not to mention that PS+ wipes the floor with XBLG as a subscription service.

You mean selling at Vista rates?

Why are so many people saying the 360 is on last place? Are people holding on on fake news or did something new happen?

Possibly in the states, where bad taste abounds.
What the hell..? You think it should be ban-worthy to have an opinion you don't agree with?
Worldwide sales numbers for a while have had PS3 in the #2 slot & Wii sales obviously crushed both.
Because PS3 is dong better in pretty much every country outside of the U.S.
If what we've heard recently sales numbers wise is true it's technically true on a global scale, but it's only because the Wii was a crazy casual success and the PS3 is only ahead by a few million. It flips around between countries/regions, and Japan aside it's close enough to equal in most areas, so I'd say it's basically a tie. Think we had similar happen with the SNES/Genesis come to think of it, Genesis debuting a year earlier and being in the lead for a long while with better EA support, but the SNES ultimately beating it in the end.
... Yeah, that is not a great comparison for X1.

Most likely. I don't care... if they don't change or clarify this stuff very specifically they won't have my wallet this generation on premise.

PS always dominates Europe, MS stands no chance now especially without a headstart. japan is locked too for Sony so US is the best chance for MS. Even then there is no headstart so lets see how it goes.

attach rates will be better on PS4, because it will be the console to buy multiplatform console games on.
Too many people standing in Defile.

Oh, just look at popular music, movies, TV, and the i-phone for starters.
What is ban worthy about that? He's right , the most popular console always becomes more popular (with all types of consumers) because it is the most popular.
Based off of what?

Weird argument to make. Halo and Gears are small fries compared to Call of Duty and Madden, which will both be on Playstation along with a ton of exclusive Sony franchises... even some dudebro ones like God of War.
OT: Don't know a single person interested on the One (besides me), and Brazilian's mainstream tech news are all over how used games are fucked (even before MSFT confirms anything).
In the USA, sure, that's the only place that will have access to the console's feature set at launch.
World wide? Lol, no. Even if the reports of sales are not 100% spot on, between the fact that there was mass RRODing and the PS3 coming out a year behind, them being anywhere close in sales is Microsoft's loss.

I'm very surprised at the 180 degree MSFT turned the last years (Kinect, Xbox ONE, Windows 8, Office 365, and I don't know if something else).
Just like EA, they made a HUGE effort to not be seen as evil with the Xbox360, Win 7, etc, but it's like they want to destroy all the goodwill they earned with years of hard work.

See the thing that is going to make this an even more uphill battle for Microsoft this time around, is that Microsoft is already cutting off millions of gamers who purchased a 360, simply because they don't have internet. This is going to matter. I think the novelty of Kinect has worn off, they can't sell it as a simply more advanced Kinect. They are going to need some application that has Wii Sports/Fit type success, the TV features are going to have to be a really huge hit, or they're going to have take an even larger stake of gamers from Sony in the next generation to really excel. I can see them pulling a good portion of gamers in the US. But honestly thats it.

it being the more powerful system that doesn't require you install every game or be online at least once a day. based off of that. multiplatform games generally looked better on 360. they will generally look better on PS4.
it's just a prediction though, naturally. just like the OP.
Just throwing MS an Xbone.

Not sure if this was already posted: http://m.joystiq.com/2013/05/22/report-microsofts-nfl-deal-valued-at-400-million-over-five-ye/
NFL deal worth $400 million over 5 years. NFL to advertise Microsoft products on live game broadcasts. Like it or not it's this type of mega exposure that will ensure the X1 will be number one in North America again.

The 360 is set up to finish 3rd in total sales this generation because Microsoft has nothing for Europe and Japan. Xbox One is set up to be even more focused on America, and it won't have the benefit of having the best versions of multiplatform games on it anymore.
XOne looks to me clearly set up for third overall. Wii U will pick up steam once we get some bigger Nintendo exclusives and the price drops (just like the 3DS), and the PS4 is currently looking like a fucking home run aimed directly at gamers. This is assuming Sony doesn't shit the bed at E3, which is totally possible.

This isn't so much about fanboyism as it is about realism.
Compare market share figures for software and hardware and total $$$ spent during the last two generations and you will realize my point with Microsoft. Whether you're talking NA or worldwide, the piece of those pies that Microsoft has garnered should impress even the most stubborn sales-age GAF'er.
Let's talk about "consensus" NeoGAF for a moment while we stroll down memory lane. Consensus GAF said 360 would be lucky to break 40 mil before it launched. Now we're talking about 80 million and possibly much more if the Mini is real. C-GAF believed Sony when they said they would release shortly after the 360. Whoops, they were only off by a year. C-GAF also believed the PS3 would be an order of magnitude more powerful than the 360. Whoops again. See where I'm going here?
Now C-GAF is saying X1 will go the way of the Wii-U and PS4 will be the white knight of this generation with their free online play and lack of used game blocking. Let's see if C-GAF can keep up its impeccable record

It's not weird when you consider the fact that they sell disproportionately well on Microsoft's platform.
Yes, I'm glad it's obvious because it was quite a shocker to me. The 360 and Windows 7 seemed like this all new Microsoft that was hitting all the right notes, than some time around Kinect, things seem to go in an all new and terrible direction, not just on their gaming front.
Like they lost touch with people who use their products.
