I know the history of the most powerful console rarely winning the generation, but the 360 wouldn't have outsold the PS3 in the west if it hadn't delivered the better looking multiplatform games for a lower price.
There are other factors, but right now we have no idea what exclusives will look like, etc. For me, MS exclusive was enough to convince me to spend more for less hardware power this gen, and it won't change next gen.
Most multiplats are played on console. It is absolutely a factor, a selling point, which consoles play them better and the PS4 would be less of a success if it had sold for $600 and been less powerful than the Xbox One.
This is all a hypothetical because Sony aren't going to pull something like that and Cerny will have put together a really well architectured box, but I keep looking at this as people broadcasting to Sony they'd still be there if they were getting ripped off and maybe everyone who voted that way is right... But we already saw what happened when Sony presumed on people staying loyal and didn't think they had to earn it.
And thankfully Sony learnt that lesson and we are all better off for it.
You don't get it because it's a typo on my part that makes the post contradict itself. I bought PS4 day one, and didn't buy Xbox One until later. I've fixed the offending sentence. Thanks for highlighting the nonsense I wrote.I don't get it. You did the same for XB exclusives this gen. You didn't buy the cheaper and more powerful system, because it didn't have the games you wanted. Why should others choose differently to broadcast their disaproval, when you didn't do it either?
As some have already said, we buy these systems to play games. Specs and price matter, but nowhere near as much.
LOL seriously.If Xbox came with a rainbow and a pot of gold and a leprechaun and a unicorn and magic beans would you buy one?
Yeah 360 was far better until the end of the genDid you think the 360 library was weaker than the PS3? Third party games generally ran better on the 360 and even if the exclusives weren't your cup of tea, they had just as many as Sony. This gen I understand, though.
I can certainly see people being pessimistic nowadays.
LOL seriously.
In no timeline will a new console be both "more powerful" and cheaper.
That's really only because of a forced peripheral. Doesn't really seem to hold relevance to the topic at hand.At launch the PS4 was both more powerful and cheaper than the Xbox One.

Because I remember PS3 / 360 gen. No one predicted software turning out the way it did on that gen. Real Sony (vs this hypothetical one) aren't about to drop the ball on exclusives, and Cerny will have engineered something very developer friendly, so I don't think we'll see a repeat of that, but I just don't think platform loyalty is as much of a thing with the mainstream as people here presume.
It's a thing, for sure, but I don't personally discount PS4's success being very much based on it being the cheaper and more powerful console. That was fundamental to the PS4's success. It certainly wasn't coasting on brand loyalty after the PS3, and while I think Killzone Shadow Fall is an unfairly overlooked launch title, it's not like PS4 sprinted out of the gate with the quality of exclusives we've come to love it for. Those showed up a good deal later. It heavily leant on multiplatform games in that first year, and the power and price difference *was* the difference.
Then the lead into "TV TV TV" along with Kinect and being $100 more and always online, just killed whatever momentum the 360 had. The 360 was a really good system.I remember that gen as well. Sony built a lot of goodwill in terms of games at the tail end of the PS3 while Xbox was floundering with their exclusive output (aside from Kinect). No wonder that success carried forth with PS4. The power and price certainly didn't hurt, but wouldn't have as much of an impact if they didn't just close out a gen on a roll with stellar exclusives.
You could call that brand loyalty, but that's shortsighted. It's consumers relying on Sony to deliver must-play games. And they do deliver. That kind of trust goes far.
And Microsoft decided to use DDR3 as a sure bet to get 8GB of memory. So they had to sacrifice die space for eSRAM to offset the limited bandwidth of DDR3.That's really only because of a forced peripheral. Doesn't really seem to hold relevance to the topic at hand.
Yes.If Xbox came with a rainbow and a pot of gold and a leprechaun and a unicorn and magic beans would you buy one?
Its OK to be confused, what I am about to tell you is VERY confusing.I'm confused.
One day I'm in the Henry Cavill The Witcher "PC" thread reading how PC is so impractical because it is a rich mans platform and how you need $3k to have a decent rig.
Then, the next day I'm reading how there is no point in buying the new xbox no matter it's price or power since all of it's exclusives will just be on PC.
I understand Resetera is not a hive mind, you can spare me that reply. I just find it a bit perplexing.
LOL seriously.

It was a mere game console with a mandatory $100 camera lbrNot a fair example, as the PS4 was just a mere games console and the Xbox One was an ALL IN ONE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM.
Sony games output are much more in line with my personal taste.
Xbone was more expensive because of the Kinect, the all in one entertainment system is lol Worthy.Not a fair example, as the PS4 was just a mere games console and the Xbox One was an ALL IN ONE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM.
