Sony also need to find some cash too....the way microsoft has been throwing cash around to grab all exclusives,dlc etc. They have been ruthless these last few months.
Ps3 was more powerful than xbox 360 yet xbox IS more popular. most xbox players will pass over to xb1. same as sony fans as they all follow their friends. There needs to be something big enough to make people cross over either way.
With watchdogs and driveclub being pushed back to early 2014 that doesnt help their corner. THeir launch tiles look very weak against xb1. Also, watch dogs and driveclub are then launching around the same time as titanfall. They will get put in the background by that game especially with all the momentum its picked up from critics. Then, halo is coming after that. Im not keen on halo, but it does big numbers for microsoft.
Graphics alone dont sell consoles, but online gaming,great content and quality games do......
Had this discusion with a friend the other day.
The most powerful consoles have always sold the least! right back to the ps1 era.
I see microsoft have just made sure Titanfall will never make it onto the ps4 as well. They really have been throwing money about.
If I do decide to get one of these "current gen"
boxes I am going to wait until the cloud is fully up and running. That really has the potential to blow the ps4 out of the water with functionality. I'm amazed microsoft aren't making a bigger deal about it.
As it stands im still on the fence.
