Bookies tip PS4 to be 2013 top seller over Xbox One

'A cheeky spokesperson for Paddy Power said "With both consoles set to retail at roughly the same price it should be a case of one or the other for most gamers but there is the third option of a girlfriend."'

I place my stake on PS4 to be the NO. 1 selling as well as the most gallant console in next generation. <3

I don't know yet, Sony may be using the same used/borrowed games tactics as MS. They will tie it together and say the publishers are demanding it.

[Bigpappy]

Thamm: you one smart cookie. This is not a M$ plan to screw gamers. This is big publishers (EA, Activision...) demanding that the gamers get screwed. It is them who thing they are loosing money to used games and software sharing in general. They are lobbying Sony and M$.

"but Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida has now publicly put the whole thing to rest: The PlayStation 4 will not block used game discs from being played."

Sony tells Eurogamer: PlayStation 4 will not block used games

online passes (EA discontinued this) system that is already in the place. Not the more aggressive route MSFT is taking. People also forget that MSfT and Sony both publish games also. Xbox One will check for a connection once every 24 hours.

I honestly don't care about used games because I buy new anyway. But to try and dictate who I can share my games with is insane. And like I said before, if your account get hacked, people can sell off the games your already purchased. This will, in turn, force you to repurchase that game if you desire to play it. Hope your internet is working at the time.

So if someone buys a PlayStation 4 game, I asked, you're not going to stop them reselling it?

"Aaaah," was Yoshida's initial answer, but seemingly only because he'd forgotten his line. "So what was our official answer to our internal question?" he asked his Japanese PR advisor. The advisor stepped in but didn't seem to answer clearly, at least to my ears. Yoshida then took control again firmly:

"So, used games can play on PS4. How is that?"

Of course they will play, but will Sony tie it only to one account and the second user has to purchase? This is what the real question is, and if it's up to the publisher then that's going to be the real deal because I can see some(EA) saying that's the only route they will go to publish for the console.

I think you're right.

Hey, Paddy Power, what odds will you give me on this result?:

Xbox One - PS Won

:P

[supremacy]

Hey with the way things have been going thus far, it wouldn't surprise me if it did.

[SOULJER]

After all the bad news that keeps coming out of the microsoft reveal, this is a no-brainer.

[MasterCornholio]

With Nintendos focus on the casuals and Microsoft focus on TV lovers i can understand why the PS4 will be the top choice for hardcore gamers.

[majiebeast]

I really dont think Sony is gonna use such a draconian drm as Microsoft is.

1.Ea was buddy buddy with Sony for years and now all of a sudden they arent at Ps4 meeting and show up at Microsoft, With exclusive Fifa 14 content. I think Sony and EA couldnt agree on DRM for PS4 this happend between E3 2012 and the PSmeeting. The same way it might have happend between EA and Nintendo except they cant ignore the Playstation the userbase like they do with the Nintendo one.
2. After the unveiling a SCEE employee tweeted this "Its the console EA has always wanted #xboxreveal

I think Sony will continue with the 10$ online pass for used games and thats it.

[NukeDaHippies]

Either that or microsoft has ALOT to make up for at E3. All i know is it's hunting season for Sony and their out to fill the hole next to the Dreamcast grave.

[g-nome]

Maybe the best is to just stick to current gen for another year or so. Some fantastic games still to catch up with personally.

[stage88]

Painstakingly obvious.

[TwistedMetal]

so this means its time for everyone to get on the ps4 bandwagon before you end up looking like an idiot being the only one with an xbox one only one xbox one person playing. im still trying to figure out why some gamers are still trying to fight the inevitable ps4 domination and popularization. you cant stop it so join it ps4 is where its going to be at.
