they haven't been released in Asia yet, which is a clinch for Sony.
Looks like PS4 will win the Launch Wars of 2013-2014

Discussing and being a fanboy are two different things. Discussing entitles actually making valid or semi valid statements and being willing to listen to the other person and have a real converstation. Being 100% unwilling to listen to anyone, accept anything that is semi negative about your system or holding onto your views no matter what while repeating the same thing over and over again isn't discussing.

If you're not wanting people to discuss things then I'm not sure why you're posting about them Steve.
Steve said:I have been posting waaayy too much console news lately BUT, in my defense, this shit is hilarious and we only get to witness the fanboy fighting once every 5 - 7 years.
Japan is pretty well a lock, but with their very large (and continuing) shift to mobile and handhelds I doubt that you'll see the same sort of console sales there that you have in the past. It will still be good if for no other reason than that it will get the system more Japanese developer support, but I don't think you're going to see the tens of millions of sales that some previous consoles have had there.
3DS owns Japan and I don't see that changing.
Oh and there are already some very interesting editorials out here, dev blogs that are saying, with the PS4 having 50% more power actually might be a bad thing for Sony in regards to 3rd party titles. They are saying in order to maintain continuity between a companies titles from one console to the next, the features, textures, frame rate might be held back on the PS4.
I wouldn't put money on anything you just said.
Thats the great thing, you don't have to.
2.1 million consoles sold and not a single even remotely decent game in sight.
This is why we mock console gamers, this shit right here.
Let me quote myself:
This will no doubt be followed by a whole bunch of random speculation, made up stats and chants of victory. Followed by crying and excuses the following week. Followed by crying and excuses the week after that. Rinse, repeat and so on (from both sides). Etc. etc. etc.
Like I said, it has been fun, but it will be nice not having to witness these threads for another 5 - 7 years.
...
China has by several orders of magnitude the most sales potential of any new market this generation, but I don't think it or any other console will make a big splash right off the bat.
It should be curious to see what happens in China though. There's a lot of anti-Japanese/Japanese product sentiments in China still with fairly frequent (almost yearly) anti-Japanese themed propaganda(nearly) films like Ip man, Ip Man 2, Fearless, etc.
The films all seem to follow a fairly routine storyline where the first half is about how great life was in China, until one day... about 1/3rd into the film, the evil Japanese, invaded and started killing innocent Chinese hard working, dutiful, nice gentlemen who would never hurt a fly. Till one brave, martial artists Chinese hero stood up and single-handedly manage to fight off an entire arm and/or the hero of the Japanese army therefore in a David vs Goliath fashion thus end the war in that local area/city. While being totally noble about it and never gloating or bragging; a very humble hero who fought to prove the Chinese are better than the Japanese in both spirit/force/skill/any way possible really. *Ahem Propaganda*
I wonder if any of the anti-Japanese sentiment would give any assistance to Microsoft in that region over Sony....

Microsoft has issued their response.
I find it rather amazing that Microsoft could not capitalize and dominate after 360/Live proved so popular over the last 3 years. Also, quite intriguing how Microsoft & Sony never seem to fully learn and evolve. They always seem to err on the side of bigger profits and not total consumer happiness. Give the people not what they want and then you can drain their pockets, Oh and they will love you for it
To be honest, do you blame them? The Japanese are not innocent in that they have committed their share of atrocities to their neighbors. Much of that hurt is deep rooted and will persist for at least a few more generations. That said, I do not think this really matters in that people will buy what they perceive as being the new thing. Stuff like this is a huge luxury as of right now, but marketing is going to be key.

No, I don't blame them at all. I'm just curious if that sentiment would affect sales in the event two countries make a very similar product where one is the US and the other is Japan. I do slightly blame some other cultures for continuing grudges on religious basis about events that occurred thousands of years ago. The Japan-China conflicts are quite fresh so I understand why its still a sensitive subject matter. I would be hard pressed to say the same about some conflicts in the middle east where people are waiting for Jesus to come back. But that's really really off topic from PS4 vs Xbox One sales. So back to the subject, now that China is like the #2 or so economy in the world, I wonder if the Japanese-hate might effect sales within China in a pro-Microsoft way despite PS4 having the arguably better hardware and running more games closer to 1080p natively.

Actually, as predicted (to the day) Microsoft has announced Xbox One sales topping 2 million.
Sony hit 2M in 16 days
Microsoft hit 2M in 18 days

Thought I would just get that out there before any fan boys came around.

ironically if you go down to the PC gaming forum and look at the GOTY thread people are having trouble even identifying true PC exclusives
