Could Sony's PS4 Really Destroy Microsoft's Xbox One?

Sony has a reputation in making brilliant gaming consoles and it is still probably the biggest brand name when it comes to gaming. Microsoft has done well in recent years and has even outsold Sony's PS3 console for several months; however, Sony's console has outsold the Xbox 360, in terms of total sales, since the release.

Yea but Xbox One doesn't even work in all those countries

BigFnHooters4726d ago (Edited 4726d ago )

"Yea but Xbox One doesn't even work in all those countries"

And...

* Microsoft didn't get a chance to rush their console out the door a year early in the US and Japan, year and a half early in Europe to pad out their installed base numbers

* Microsoft doesn't have the luxury of the Xbox 360's RRoD fiasco leading Xbox fans to buy on average 4-5 duplicate console hoping to finally find a model that doesn't overheat or breakdown

* Microsoft isn't 200 dollars cheaper

The PS4 is going to absolute destroy the Xbox One in sales this gen.

The Xbox name went from being nothing to overcoming the successor of two consoles that were the most popular of their respective generations; now THAT was a challenge. It won't be a surprise once the PS4 outdoes the Xbox One name specially since MS is trying to kick itself out of the industry.

HammadTheBeast4726d ago

Overcoming?

PS3 has won this Gen. Unless the Xbox 360 magically gets 2.5 million sales.

(And this is according to VGChartz who under track PS3 sales by a lot)

pompombrum4726d ago (Edited 4726d ago )

Lets be honest, Microsoft gained an unthinkable amount of ground this generation, look how underplayed the MGS5 trailer was.. compare that to the 360 E3s where GTA4 and FF13 being multiplatform was huge news, it's safe to say Microsoft deserve a lot of credit this gen.

It's just too bad they're about to blow all that hard work away.

Ju4726d ago

XBox won the US. There is not little to argue about that. Sony won overall, and probably is more profitable now (if you don't count Live contributions).

But I suspect even in the US XBox with what MS showed will have a hard time to repeat that. Everything rather points towards a landslide victory of Sony. Maybe MS can catch up, but I doubt at least at launch and in the first 6 months this will change.

ricochetmg4726d ago

You are all wrong this last gen was won by nintendo.

Imalwaysright4726d ago

The company that saved gaming and as result, the reason why we all play videogames today.

Relientk774726d ago (Edited 4726d ago )

Considering that I see the PS4 being the new PS2, yeah I do think PS4 is gonna dominate the Xbox One

Game4life4726d ago

finally someone understands
ps2² = ps4

jaredhart4726d ago

Microsoft entered this generation with too much hubris. Soon they will learn.

BigFnHooters4726d ago

Which is absolutely mind boggling for a company like Microsoft and the Xbox 360 that came in last place to have too much hubris.

dcbronco4726d ago

So MS made billion in profits this generation and Sony lost billions. But you believe Sony won something. I would bet Sony would love to trade places with MS this gen.

rainslacker4726d ago

I believe they won the respect of many a gamer. But if sales numbers are more important to you, I guess Nintendo beat the crap out of MS.

NYC_Gamer4726d ago (Edited 4726d ago )

MS really screwed themselves by building a restricted console that doesn't even work in every country...PS4 is going to outsell X1 worldwide..MS just gave sales to Sony based on restrictions alone.

forum674726d ago (Edited 4726d ago )

Frankly , American gamers dont know shit about gaming in other countries.

Any guess which company actually cared about gamers to officially(with service+ warranty) launch a console in 1.2Billion pop country of India ?
Answer : xbox 360. [PS2 was available unoffically]

Why not Sony ? They dont care about gamers , only rich gamers aka Western countries.

Used games restriction is a great idea because it will reduce the price and be affordable to Indian market ,but Sony FCKED up !

Look at PC games . FARCRY 3 PC launch price is $59(usa) and $20(India) . FCK U SONY,Console games will be again expensive till next gen console wars !

EDIT : @Combatcash , 95% owner of xbox has kinect in India. It is a successful product than Move and even medical,NASA etc uses it. Additional $100 is a great upgrade and not to drag-off the console. Paying $59 per game is stupidity !

combatcash4726d ago (Edited 4726d ago )

You sound really ignorant, either way the restrictions don't benefit me and neither does the mandatory packaging of kinnect which is costing an additional 100. Maybe more.

@forum67 I'm not comparing move to kinnect that's great if its successful in India but the upgrade should be optional not mandatory if you want to pay $100 for an additional item that many of us don't want or need then go for it but we should have a say in the matter. I live in America and used game restrictions don't benefit me in any way.

forum674726d ago (Edited 4726d ago )

Agree from an American point of view ! I am staying in USA for 5yrs now. Used games(Which are $10-$20) restriction is not a good thing over here especially for gamestop but prices need to get reduced.

Steam summer sales is coming soon !

Huh, let me think about this for a little.

And then I found this:

@forum67 Glad you mentioned India. Xbox One will not work in India at Launch:

dcbronco4726d ago (Edited 4726d ago )

@combatcash

You really don't realize that MS and Sony's used games policies are pretty much the same. It's up to the publishers. The only difference is that MS requires you to go to certain retailers because they want the developer to get some of the money. There's no reason for Gamestop to make more in profits then the developer. Jack makes it very clear.

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot24d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose26d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE25d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername25d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy25d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde25d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8625d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8625d ago (Edited 25d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300025d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle25d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7725d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
