MS has cash at hand. They could have easily launched a more powerful console and tomorrow when Tomb Raider numbers are out , we would know how detrimental are those negative articles which reported xb1 version running at half the frames
did you even read the article?
"it's clear that of the two next-gen machines, the PS4 offers the preferable experience right now" and this is from eurogamer
please bring 1080p games not subhd
Sony doesn't need exclusivity at the moment. With multiplats running at higher rez/frames on ps4, that would be enough for Sony to have higher sales on multiplat games
PS4 has a lead of 2:1 in all the 9 european regions that Xb1 launched. The gap will get bigger when Sony starts supplying more ps4s
Titanfall is on PC and is an MP only game. Halo franchise is DOA after Bungie. Same goes to Gears . Also PS4 has gow,gt,uncharted -franchises which are still being made by original developers. A single game or 2 won't effect the outcome of console wars. A few upcoming multiplat games are running at 720p on xb1 which will hurt xb1's image even more as per Thuway

Halo is not DOA.The creators left the franchise for Destiny and h4 couldn't even hit 90 ...
It is a good news for MS . With Bungie leaving the Halo franchise , this was just another ip which MS truely needed to keep xb1 relevant. This won't impact the console war but good news for potential xb1 owners
This gen is done already. There is no waiting. The only thing that remains to be seen is if Xb1 can atleast match or beat ps4 in sales in US. Globally, the console war is over. You can expect ps4 to do ps2 numbers
Those countries are done for MS . Launching there won't cause anything . The only European country where MS had some foothold was UK, which has been lost too . THe only country in the world where xb1 might match ps4 in sales is USA. Even if xb1 wins Usa, ps4 would beat it by comfortable margin in the rest of the world .FYI , ps4 has a big lead over xb1 in all the 9 regions xb1 launched and as of right now ps4 has a 2:1 advantage vs xb1 in europe.

You do realize that Moody itself is a dubious firm . 150 billion dollar company and junk status, coming from Moody a US firm . They are more like doing promotion for SOny's competitors by coming up bizarre ratings
Thuway is known to all the execs of Sony and MS and almost all devs of all companies know the lad too
even if MS drops the price , ps4 would still beat the xb1 by a big margin. Their system is much weaker than ps4. Why would you pay for an inferior system . In europe/asia i expect ps4 to totally crush the xb1 . In UK too its done but in US MS could still make some decent sales which will in no way close any margin
excellent headset
Thuway is on a roll. He now has contact with people from both MS and SONY.
@dedicated
dude ofcourse MS cares. Look at anecodotal Xb1 sales on gaf, even in UK xb1 looks like a done deal since diehards have one at xmas . The console xb1 is vastly underpowered compared to ps4 . This is not ps3 vs x360 scenario where both consoles were kinda equally matched
better specs are needed to make better games. Play CD at 720p on Xbx1 and then play the PS4 version.
What would you like?
better gameplay or better gameplay with better graphics
The game lineups are better on PS4 too. Who cares about mediocre games like Dr3, forza and so on. But at the end of the day it all comes down to opinions. PS4 would have the better lineup just like ps3.

the game sold millions worldwide and more...
even if they remove Kinect it won't make any difference.

Resistance 2 was just a bit too ambitious for ps3. I hope insomniac releases another resistance game though
they were sold out. BB received a new shipment today
@lukas
the power difference will be a big selling point i guess. We will certainly see when UK and eu numbers are out
