How long do you think it'll take for the PS4 to catch up to the 720 in sales?

Think it'll take another six years? Gosh, I sure hope for Sony's sake that it doesn't take that long. They can't afford to fail two gens in a row!

Those systems arn't even out yet.....and why do you care? All I care about is games, and I know what system I'm going to for the best, and it's not the Xbox.

Doesn't matter to me as long as Sony keeps churning out world class, GOTY winning exclusives.

Depends whether they release it before or after the new xbox. The PS3 has been selling more units per year than the 360 for all but one year its been on the market.

We still dont know the launch dates, depends on whether or not xbox gets decend head start. Luckily though, MS can easily afford to fail three gens in a row, so no need to worry about them.

It'll outsell the NextXbox. Heard it here first. SONY have too much worldwide appeal, plus they actually make games.

Microsoft lack worldwide appeal, and as of late have really stopped creating new and inventive titles, sticking to the same old worn out titles, that are selling less, and being played less.

That being said, I'll prefer the 720 as all my friends will own it, and we'll no doubt have countless hours of multiplayer fun.

I think they'll perform about evenly, just as they did this gen.

Don't know is very hard to predict anything,the Wii U did not start like the wii which show you that next generation will be nothing like this one,the PS4 may never ever catch the xbox 720,but there is also a big chance that the xbox 720 is the one that doesn't catch the PS4,specially since sony say that the PS4 would be affordable,i don't think the whole $600 dollars think will be in the way next generation.. We may even see a $300 PS4 who knows.

I don't think Halo will be as popular as next gen, it's a trend and trends change over time. Same goes for COD, the shooter phase is going to pass. I remember when it was Mortal Kombat era and everything was a fighter and people thought it would last forever, but as you can see Mortal Kombat is not as popular as it once was. These games will always have a good fanbase, but the next Xbox is going to need more than just Halo and Gears next gen.

Look at current system trends and you will understand why my statement is not a contradiction and makes perfect sense.

how are you defining "world class"?

If it says Sony on the box, because we all know Sony is synonymous with world class gaming.

Some things always stay the same though like Sony's great 1st party, which is worthy buying a PS3 and PS4 alone for. Same goes for Nintendo, Xbox? LMAO no.

PS4 will outsell.

Because the brand has better worldwide appeal and it'll have games.

LOL spoken like a true fanboy, i have a few questions of my own.... Will Microsoft ever get as many great AAA exclusives as Sony? and Will Microsoft ever let people play online for free or will they continue to rob them of $60 a year.

I don't think Sony will make the same pricing mistake that turned a lot of ps2 owners into 360 owners. And they will try to beat 360 to the market this time. So, no.

The next Xbox won't start out with a massive lead like the 360 did. I highly doubt Sony are going to let the next Xbox launch a year before the PS4. They'll probably both launch at around the same time. Plus Sony won't completely mess up the price like the PS3.

PS4 will come out before or at least the same time so it will not fall behind. It will also be priced more competitively. No year's headstart, no game library advantage, and no price advantage this time for MS. Go to the main page and Today's Gaming Headlines and select the one with the PS3 console in it and watch the video. The PS4 is coming out this fall to next spring. The next Xbox is not coming out before the PS4, so there will be no advantage for MS this time around.

Agree with what you guys are saying about launch times, and pricing. I also see Sony jumping out to a lead in the next gen. I really think people (myself included) are growing tired of paying for Xbox Live, and M$$ won't be able to just keep throwing us Halo and Gears forever. PS has some great exclusives, and if they can tweak Killzones online multiplayer to be as good or even better than Halo, then I think Sony could be a run away winner in the Next Gen.
