Which Game System Will Win The Console Wars?

Although there are three next-generation game consoles, one of which has already been released, the battle is really between Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Xbox One and Sony's (NYSE: SNE) Playstation 4. Nintendo launched the Wii U, the successor to the original Wii, last year, but sales have been disappointing. While the Wii U is less expensive than both the Xbox One and the Playstation 4, the console is also not nearly as powerful.

Well there's little doubt that PS4 will win. But competition is good for the entire industry.

Zuperman3942d ago

Honestly I'm just gonna go back to my roots during the PSX and PS2 days and won't give a damn about who wins this console war..

I'm just gonna play my PS4 games, enjoy them, than move on to the next.

SirKilla3942d ago (Edited 3942d ago )

what war. I listen to the news and I am not familar with this war.

so is there a war between... subways and mcdonald or left handed sissors and right handed sissors or Iphones and smart phones.

Drama Queens! give it a rest.

SpinalRemains1383942d ago (Edited 3942d ago )

Yes there is a war.

Stop trying to seem insightful, or beyond the war.

Cola wars exist, fast food wars exist, and console wars exist.

dedicatedtogamers3942d ago (Edited 3942d ago )

3DS will sell the most overall, except for maybe the PS4 in the long run.

In terms of console sales, my guess is going to be PS4. It's the safe bet. PS4 has all of the positive momentum, and Sony has already won two generations sales-wise, not to mention they made the two highest-selling game consoles of all time.

The underdog is the Wii-U. I'm uncertain if Nintendo could pull a win out since the odds are stacked against them, but who knows? The SNES managed to beat the Genesis even though the Genesis had an 18-month headstart.

Microsoft? I don't think they're even fighting the "console wars" anymore. They're aiming to tackle Google and Apple, and if a few games just so happen to come out on their all-in-one box? So be it.

Shhh...! Don't tell Nintendo and the XboxOne guys but the war is already over...

PS4 for me. More focused, gamer friendly and stronger system specs.

my apologies if this seems rude but, weren't people saying that the PS3 would win the 7th generation before it encountered a major block in sales for a little while? Many said the same with the Wii U. I feel it may seem a bit too early to mark a console as a winner just yet. lets give it some time after ALL the consoles are released.

My guess is that xbox-one will be the winner.

NatureOfLogic3942d ago

Well no one can say that your guess is wrong. My guess is, PS4 will easily win and wipe the floor with competition, but again no one can say I'm wrong either. I just don't see any reason to get Xbox One over PS4 if you can only have one console next gen. Plus, I've seen firsthand what MS is really trying to accomplish. I won't blindly support a future I don't agree with.

FlunkinMonkey3942d ago

No way Belking! They don't call you Mr Unpredictable for nothing...

Belking3942d ago (Edited 3942d ago )

I predict that you will be molded to a gorilla by xb1..lol

thomasmiller3942d ago

I think the wii u will win, it has a one year start over the others and MARIO, ZELDA, SMASH BROS. DK, MARIO KART, MON0OLITH X, too many big frachises, and with the x box one off to such a terrible start after a horrible E3, and when you get a micro soft worker to say that the x box brad is a CRUMMY PRODUCT, YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN TROUBLE!! NINTENDO EMPLOYEES HAVE NEVER TRASHED THE WII U!! http://readwrite.com/2013/0... SO, with it being just nintendo and sony, I think nintendo can win, if they make the right moves.

thomasmiller3942d ago

and look how much money microosft has lost on the x box product 6 billion to 10 billion dollars!!! WOW!! htis is deep trouble for microsoft and yet the trolls and the biased media, thin Nintendo is the one that is doomed?? oh well, what ever helps the trolls sand media sleeps well at night!

Manic20143942d ago

6-10 Billion...............Where the hell did you get those number's. Nintendo is the one whom is doing bad in business hence they had to sell the wii u in a lower price compared to originally planned; So they can dodge administration.

Belking3942d ago (Edited 3942d ago )

Dude, don't even go there with money loss. We all know sony has been bleeding red for years. Selling off assets, their buildings and cutting bonuses to help pay for things and save money. The xb1 and wii-u can totally fail and both will still be in a better position than sony. Samsung and LG have been cleaning their clock for years and they have lost market share in the gaming market to nintendo and MS. PS4 is an improvement but they aren't out of danger just yet.

Now i will get tons of disagrees but what I said is a fact. Remember who's credit was downgraded to junk not long ago. You don't replace CEO's because business is going great.

Manic20143942d ago

Microsoft had a terrible unveiling but a very successful E3 with just showcasing there games. Overall they are getting good pre-orders but still behind the PS4. To be honest Out of the three consoles Wii u is much more likely to get third place this gen. Microsoft employee calling the box brand crummy........It was by an EX MS employee whom was against MS going into gaming. sure the wii u could gain more momentum once the new games are released it would still be overshadowed by the release of PS4 and Xbox one.

shibster883942d ago

Defo ps4, with indie support and more exclusives and now they have released the feature were you can play your games by signing into any other ps4, and its cheaper and has 50% more power and more flops, its an around good friendly system.

Ksar3942d ago

I'm pretty sure Xbox One will win

first1NFANTRY3942d ago

just like they won this gen? oh wait...

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows901h ago(Edited 1h ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

-Foxtrot7m ago(Edited 5m ago)

Yeah I thought it was pretty decent, it had its flaws but for their first big console single player open world game it's a solid 8/10.

I have never seen an AAA "zombie" game feature as many enemies as the horde sections did, you really had to think about your surroundings and plan carefully.

I feel journalists had an issue with this game from the moment it was announced, they really didn't like the Biker characters and the overall Biker gang theme. If they were anything else I feel it would have had a better chance or at least they'd overlook some of the flaws like they do for certain other open world games. They don't mind waiting weeks or months for a patch knowing its coming but a game that has it Day 1 it's suddenly a big no no? Yeah this was one of those moments that showed you how they cherry pick who to suddenly decide to go harsh on when they want to.

mkis0070m ago

Ill never forget the reviewer who tried to claim the "ride me like you ride your bike" line was anything but a joke...they (sarah and deacon) explicitly call it a joke and the reviewer still misinformed the reader about it as if it was a literal thing.

Leeroyw1h ago

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Inverno1h ago

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak59m ago(Edited 51m ago)

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.

Awesome game. Just bought it for my laptop last week
