The PS4 has so many fundamental advantages over the Xbox One that in my opinion it will crush Microsofts Xbox One. Here are 5 reasons why.
1)General Image of the Playstation Brand
Without a doubt Sony has better public perception. Even though Microsoft has done so many 180's most consumers are still under the "Evil Microsoft" impression that litters comment sections of articles, threads and videos whether justified or not. Sony has been stead-fast in maintaining a "good-guy" image, Sony has yet to mis-step the way Microsoft has. The greatest gift to Sony PR this year has not been the PS4 but instead the Xbox One. The PS4 momentum is strong going into the holiday season with pre-orders supposedly out-numbering the Xbox 4:1 in Europe and 3:1 in mainland North America. The Playstation brand just is stronger than the Xbox brand.
2) Exclusives
Sony World Wide Studios is the worlds largest internal development team comprising of 14 studios across 32 teams and has won more GoTY awards and nominations than any other development group since the awards inception.
After the back-lash surrounding the "The Xbox One has no games" "TV TV TV TV TV TV" "COD COD COD COD" MS in a last ditch attempt to save the DRM scheme and the initial Xbox One vision blew most of their exclusive games at this years E3. They announced games by the bucket load... some are only coming out in Q3/Q4 2014 and Q1 2015. According to two Mod-verified Insiders on Neogaf, Sony plans to hold back major announcements. Sony expects to sell-out every PS4 until March 2014 and does not see a point in releasing so many games in Q4 2012 and Q1 2013.
According to "Verendus" this years VGA's and next years E3 are "gonna be crazy" with major surprises including a "MASSIVE" Western 3rd party exclusive that will blow people's minds as well as Naughty Dogs next game in development since 2011, Santa Monica's (Stig's team) project that has been in production full swing for 42 months, Guerilla's next gen WRPG(rumored) in development since 2010, Media Molecule's next game and much more in fact here is a list I compiled shortly before Gamesom. http://forums.n4g.com/What-...
While Sony is dropping bomb after bomb MS will still be talking about Halo 5, Titanfall, Black-tusk next title, Fable Legends and so on. Also don't think that SCEJ&A is not cooking up PS4 titles.
Their are 2 SEGA PS4 exclusives (Yakuza????and Shemn*$%3????) as well as quote on quote "Demon Souls 2 , you will know it when you see it." Don't forget SCEJ is massive and under Allan Becker(SSM), SCEJ will be doing wonders next gen and don't forget SOE who's MMO's will play a roll on PS4.
Sony is saving bombs for when MS has run out of them.
3) Price
The Playstation is $100 cheaper than the Xbox One. This alone will massively swing the odds in the PS4's favor.
4) Sony Entertainment
Microsoft backed on the wrong horse, IPTV is the future not cable. Sony is the worlds largest entertainment company and has produced shows such as Breaking Bad, movies like District 9 and albums like "21" by Adele. After a spat between Time Warner and CBS Sony has managed to worm it's way in to securing deals with content providers including Viacom and when unleashed next year Sony will have a new "special feature" in the form of Playstation TV that will be trojan horsed by the PS4 in the same way Blu-ray was for the PS3 and DVD was for the PS2. If Playstation TV is a success it could move a sh*t ton of systems.
5) The PS4 is more powerful.
The Xbox One was designed as an entertainment system and after all the dizzying 180's we are left with a games system that doesn't play games as well as its biggest competitor for $100 more. The PS4's GPU as well as its memory system is far superior to the Xbox One and with the inclusion of hUMA(the Xbox One does not have it) makes the PS4 not on raw power but on an architectural level ahead of the highest end 2013 PC's. Hell, even AMD is parading the PS4's GPU being more powerful than the Xbone's and I am confident enough that we will, come release day, notice a difference between multiplats. http://www.neogaf.com/forum...
So what do you think? Do you think MS's billions and marketing muscle will guarantee a win for the Xbox One or do you think the PS4 will crush the Xbox One into pulp?
From GamesReviews:"A dark gothical fantasy with heavy concentration on puzzle solving and platforming in this Victorian 2D to 3D Metroidvania will make you spend your day solving the lore."
Do we call it a comeback? MultiVersus has returned with a new PvE mode, new characters and overhauled gameplay, but is it better in 2024?
The Tribe Must Survive features a new set of challenges to overcome, making the gameplay loop and replayability that much more satisfying.
HUMA is part of the APU design. Both XBone and PS4 got it.
Yep, looks like Sony will have a one horse race again seeing how MS pissed off their fans. Lord knows Nintendo won't be giving any form of attention.
