................if M$ are going to go down the mediabox route next gen then they could do very well with the general public and sell a lot of consoles.They could out sell Sonys console again next gen.

Personally I'm a big Sony fan and gamer so won't be touching any M$ console but fanboys around here should realize however crappy the nextbox is for gamers it could still sell very well.

berry the use of sales as a metric for judging the quality of a console, instead, cover it in berries, berry it in berries. a good console will be able to be pulled out.

Assuming Microsoft launches a console that is about as powerful as the WiiU but with a lot of RAM and a Kinect2 (with projector); they could have a console that costs about as much as the PS4 but with most of the cost not manifesting in graphics. Sony will be able to say, "look at these awesome graphics-- this is where your money is going." Microsoft won't be able to do that-- they will be banking on people getting excited by Illumiroom.

So you haven't be paying attention because it's pretty evident that lems don't like games. They mostly like giving money to M$ and playing with numbers.

which would explain why the software attach rate on the 360 is equal or more than it is on the Ps3 and why 360 exclusives generally sell more than Ps3 exclusives, it would also explain why i have 220+ games listed on my gamercard. Sorry dude, but basic facts destroy your argument.

Most people only play games for the graphics so they will probably go for the PS4, me on the otherhand like high frames per second and will take good gameplay over graphics, if I wanted graphics i'd go watch pixar film ya no

What console was more powerful than the PS2 on 2000.? The xbox arrived almost 2 years later not head to head with the PS2,when the PS2 launch there was no other console as powerful,by the time the xbox arrive with more powerful hardware it was all over.

Well without sales Sony will not be fine with that. They are obviously putting everything into the PS4. If the PS4 for some reason bombs (For the record I think it wins Japan and Europe easily) then Sony will have to get bailed out. I don't think Sony would close it's doors but I do think whoever gives them the money to stay afloat will drop making consoles. Nintendo was able to surre console droughts because of the Gameboy all those years. Sony does not have anything to fall back on if the PS4 flops.
