But all you guys going on and on about PS3 sales forget that of the 3 consoles this gen the PS3 turned the least profits BY FAR. In the business world that's a clear loss for them.

It depends on how you choose to define last place. PS3 trailed for a while but has surpassed 360 in global sales because of Europe and Japan. However, 360 was a much greater financial success than PS3 was so I'm thinking the suits see it as a win for MS.

And where are these OFFICIAL numbers? Usually all I see when it comes to that is sales for N. America and 360 has clearly dominated PS3 there. But in Europe and Japan PS3 has been outselling 360 for a while.

This is the second gameplay trailer I have seen and it's the second time it will blow you away. There is really no words to describe all the things that are happening at once on the screen and you can see why it broke E3 records with over 60 awards. 

Xbox One will have the best version with titan's for example having the AI processed to the cloud which will add immensely to the gameplay. 

The game looks amazing from visionary, graphics, AI, gameplay, sound and music score. While it's only mutiplayer if you want a to spend countless hours playing one game you want them to just focus on that instead of adding some cheesy singleplayer like in COD or BF. I'd still buy COD and BF but I'm guessing they will probably do as fine beer place-mats.

What's "cheesy" about the single-player campaigns of COD? They're short and the stories tend to be forgettable but the gameplay is quite good.

For the record I remember when Halo was having horrible framerate issues just weeks before the launch of the original Xbox. Look how that turned out.

I actually like his claim that Xbox One hardware isn't finalized. I keep hoping for an improvement (If a delay is necessary then DO IT!). I want to pick it over PS4 but they need to do something with the hardware to give me a reason.

[QUOTE="freedomfreak"]From what I've seen, they look good. Not to mention games will look better over time. Just compare UC1 to UC3, or any other game.Tessellation

But people said the same thing about X360 for a while. Then Gears of War came along and changed peoples' minds. There will eventually be a moment like that for these new consoles as well.

Lots of people feel it's their Vendeta to absolutly hate Microsoft. It's a sad gaming community this day.  Buuuuuttt, most of you are just mad microsoft gets money- its plain to see.  Well news-flash, Microsoft will continue to 'get money'.  Believe that. And for all of you "real gamers" out there who will be playing Sony's new PS4 instead of Microsoft's Xbone, Just remember, in that moment, with the supirior console... I'll be having more fun than you.  :)

I don't think that's gonna hold up. Considering that they've made it so that Kinect doesn't have to be connected for Xbox One to work and they are now gonna include a headset in the box I'm expecting 2 different SKUs: One with Kinect for $499 and one without for $399.

The Sony fanboys may win the battle for now... with lots of empty talk about, "real gamers" and, "Sony actually listens to gamers" and the ol', "XBone isn't even a gaming console".  But in the end Microsoft will win.  They always do.  So Sony fans, have fun playing alone for another console generation. :) GLHF & GG

I suppose it's possible for Xbox One to outdo PS4 in America, although unlikely. But no way will it outsell PS4 globally, not with those specs. Sony did a ton of things wrong this gen and they still ended up ahead of 360 in sales when it was all said and done.

SO the list as it stands Microsoft has changed its mind on at least 7 areas most of wich they stood firm on not changing until it became in their finacial intrest that they change. 

Microsoft would not have changed if they though that it would be to their benifit in the long run, BUT the backlash was SO huge that they ditched their core differences with PS4.  We all know if Microsot even though that they sale about as many as PS4 they would have keep as many pollicies as Possible but they only have kept the kinect boxed in.... untill they change that also. will it still be the ONE? 

Microsoft is so damaged by its actions that at the last minute that it uped its MHz of the GPU.  I thought Microsft said that the consoles were equal in power, or was that just Microsoft's supporters claiming that.  YET it is now that Microsoft saw the curtin coming down on it that Microsoft boosted its GPU just to compete with the PS4.  http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/162977-xbox-one-gpu-gets-modest-boost-in-power-to-combat-ps4-supremacy-microsoft-confirms

So here we are 3 months prior to a November launch.  Microsoft has changed its console to that of the PS4 in almost every way. Now I will be the first to critise Sony for its bad decisions on the PS3 yet PS3 was able to game on regardless of the mess that it made.... and I am sure Microsoft will do the same.

Ya heard all the complaining, right? It was like a riot. That's why they backpedaled on so many things. Now if only they could get the specs on the same level as PS4 (They won't. Too late now) I'd pick it over PS4 in an instant.
