How Sony and Nintendo can battle the Xbox One

Microsoft's Xbox One is out of the bag, and the next-gen console war's in full swing. So what happens next? Truthfully, the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Wii U are still big boxes of mystery--even though one already's been out in stores for months.
So, how will this new gaming landscape shake out? Sony and Nintendo, the also-rans to the current success story of Microsoft and the Xbox 360, have options. But they're not always pretty.

easy,do the thing they are both good at that microsoft never was,which is creating great exclusives besides shooters.

[StraightPath]

Microsoft should leave gaming and create cable top boxes. Left the core gamers rot with Kinect and voice commands.

Xbox fans it is time to prepare the transition to TRUE NEXT GEN THE P4.

[pr0t0typeknuckles]

yeah,or a new company that actually cares about gaming can take their spot and then we will truly have a big 3,because right now all i see is the big 2.

[ziggurcat]

they don't have to do anything since what they plan/are already doing is a far better option that MS's.

Xbox One - PS Four

Four higher than One. So PS4 is better. Thats all guys.

So, according to that mentality, ps3 < xbox 360, right?

[GoldPunch-TR]

Yes. Commodore 64 too.

I know the perfect way Nintendo can market. Have a Nintendo exec hold a WiiU up with one hand and give a thumbs up with the other.

At the bottom of it it will say "WiiU, we don't charge you to play used games."

easy nintendo and sony will give their gamers great exclsuvies and are not anti consumer unlike M$

[wantonGamer]

Don't know about Nintendo but Sony needs to just grab a bucket of popcorn and kick back, put it's feet up on the table and it'll be a flawless victory.

Don't try and have a dig at Nintendo m8 they have done everything right,

Miiverse,a real gamers community where u can speak directly to the gamers and get real opinions on apps and games.

OffTVPlay,the best feature of nextgen consoles,sony sort of has it as well.

Varied controls,WiiMote,Classic Pro,GAMEPAD,enough said.

Last but not least amazing games like X,Mariokart,Smash,Beyonneta2 ect ect.

eshop is up their with Steam as well the games coming to eshop are amazing hands down,and u can take a game around to ur friends house if you want.

What a joke of an article, ah wait a minute its cnet, that explains it all. Pathetic biased crap.

Take a good look at One, do a 360 and walk away

[chadboban]

Don't you mean "moonwalk" away?

If you do a 360 then you will still be looking at it.

I love how there's always someone that falls for it. You, my friend, have been successfully trolled.

And Sony is on its way out.

[thelaughingwiseman]

Just make the games, and people who like games will buy. If Sony can just pull off that one thing... Sony will become the new Sith Lord with... http://www.youtube.com/watc...

They dont have to battle they already one me over I have wii u 3ds ps vita and ill have the ps4 when it comes out : )

[breakpad]

they dont need to battle (at least Sony)they have already won....This is not a game console it is an ugly Call of Duty machine ....ok MS it s better to forget Japan from now

[PigPen]

Sony hasn't won yet. There is more that need to be told like price.

[PigPen]

Very bad advice to the point, how did you come up with that. They don't need to do nothing, Microsoft is doing it for them. Nintendo already lost is a opinion. You don't qualify to make such a claim when the other consoles aren't out yet. And what exactly does the PS4 need to do when its sitting high. You should be embarrass.
