The original PlayStation dominated the competition, knocking Nintendo's N64 off their high-horse and sending SEGA into a desperate frenzy.
PlayStation 2 came out and dominated even more... becoming the best selling home console ever. It knocked SEGA out of the console manufacturing business, walked all over the GameCube, and crushed XBox so bad that MS lost a ton of money on their console.
PS3, while not as dominant as it's predecessors, has still sold 75+ Million units globally. It is basically tied with Xbox360 in sales despite coming out an entire year later (year and a half later in Europe) and being more expensive ($599 at Launch). IMO Sony did everything to screw up the PS3's launch and it hurt their reputation a lot, but they still somehow made a comeback and did what no one thought was possible. They tied 360 in sales (give or take.... whoever has the lead right now, its by an insignificant margin).
Now this gen, Wii U has Launched first and is doing pretty abysmal sales. The new Xbox is strongly rumoured to have weaker specs than the PS4. Sony has struck before MS and has generated a ton of buzz for the PS4. The Launch window looks pretty good with Drive Club, Killzone, Knack, Watch Dogs, ACIV:Black Flag, and more. Plus securing exclusive content for Bungie's Destiny was a solid move. 2014 will probably see Infamous:Second Son and Uncharted 4 come out.
The controller has been upgraded. PS4's online is up to par, if not better than XBL. PS4 is dev-friendly and will be easier to develop for.
And the way I look at it, if Sony could tie 360 with the PS3 despite all their screw ups.... then next gen should be an easy victory considering they're both coming out around the same time and Sony has promised the new console won't be $599 like PS3 was.

everything in bold is either speculation / untrue / or doesnt matter.
PSN better than XBL?!?! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Did you watch the PS4 event? The new PSN will be heavily intergrated with gaikai technology and of course it will have cross game chat. XBL has nothing on PSN now.
Gaikai? like what? anything announced or is this more speculation?XBL has had cross game chat for years
I did watch the PS4 event and had nothing to be excited about.... except the controller, but the 360 gamepad is already perfection.

this uprising of Sony fans happened last generation, with the same views, the same hopes, the same expectations from sony.
Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same fvcking thing... over and over again expecting... shlt to change..
