If you mean the most sold, then yes, PS4 wins.
Edit: Well actually I'm talking outta my ass, MS win in the satisfaction stakes, they seem to be bowing to every consumer whim just now.
Do you have a link to an actual customer satisfaction survey or are you just guessing?
MS haven't exactly had the best of year, they ditched kinect and annoyed many people who already paid for it.
Sony are winning the sales race but I would agree that people are more happy with MS than Sony, especially in the latter half of the year.
There's loads of factors to consider. Could the OP be more specific about the parameters which determine the win ? Or was he leaving it as vague as possible to try and cause an argument ?
In English?
No link, I was jesting at their current upgrade policy of, you tell us what you want and we'll do it, I couldn't say for sure if its satisfying for their consumers or not, but I'm guessing it don't do any harm.
What ever else they do, like you say dropping kinect, probably goes some way to annoying some customers, but I think the general consensus on that is, good riddence
So in those terms no I think Sony have dropped the ball and are sitting on their laurels. As a good gaming machine, I think they've got this round won, and it will take a miracle for Xbox to make head way against the PS4. Titan Fall just didn't really do it, maybe Halo will.
I think those who didn't buy an XB1 at launch will be happy of the MS ditching Kinect and lowering the price but the rest who got it at launch and paid extra for something that is little more than a paperweight now must be a tad annoying.
Going by sales figures I think we all win as the media would have us think that home consoles are dying because of mobile gaming on Android and iOS.
That's because the media don't seem to realise that a lot of mobile gamers were never console gamers. Most of the console gamers I know who play mobile games (Most of them) do so casually and as time wasters, the people who play mobile game seriously all seem to have come over from Facebook web games, office solitaire / minesweeper or the Wii. I don't think I know anyone who was a big PS/XB gamer last generation that has become a serious tablet / phone gamer, they all want (Or have) the next version of those consoles.
I will say though because of my phone I will probably never buy a handheld gaming machine again.
I think many people feel this way which is a shame as playing a game on the Vita or 3DS is far superior to any mobile phone.
You have to remember he was there for the bad stuff too. He still has a lot to prove. They need to be more proactive for long term success. Reactionary tactics won't cut it for long.
Sony wins on sales, quite easily and seemingly without really trying. They seem to have the edge on the hardware too.
Microsoft wins on software in my opinion - both in terms of OS updates and exclusive games. For the first time I am looking with envy at the xbox line up (god damn you Insomniac.....) I have been impressed with how reactive they have been to customer demands too.
I never use my XBone really.
ETA: others will no doubt be the opposite.
I don't get the love for the exclusives.
Titanfail was a fail.
Forza and FH2 were ok.
DR3 is not my cup of tea.
Ryse was good.
Sunset Overdrive is again not my thing.
So basically Ryse.
Apart from Forza what other exclusives do you refer to?
I recently completed DeadRising3 / RYSE and enjoyed em more then anything I've played on my PS4!
(& I'm really looking forward to playing Forza2 & Sunset Overdrive when I eventually get around to em aswell!)
That's very subjective though and definitely not "in another league entirely" like you say.
For example Rise got a metacritic score of 60 and DeadRising 3 a score of 78 which is both lower than Infamous Second Son which got a score of 80.
Also its worth mentioning that neither of those games are exclusive to the Xbox One as both are available on the PC.
I'm not bothered about reviews (too biased & rigged imo) I'm talking about my personal preference.... They are **in another league** as far as I'm concerned & I've bought / played all the PS4 exclusives! ... Nowt compares! ;-)
Hurry up tombraider!!! :cool:
Id rather have the media player tbh! 👍 ... I bet shareplay will be next on microsofts firmware agenda tho! 😉
My concern with MS is that so many of their exclusives have been secured by waving their cash about. They don't innovate and create new experiences in the way that Sony does.
Don't get me wrong, a good exclusive is still a good exclusive and not to be dismissed, but in terms of diversity and new experiences I think PlayStation will be the place to be in the longer term.
