That's never going to happen... It's an integral part of this generation... And time will only solidify that more.
Too bad...

Realy? Anyways if I wanted a gaming console I would get the ps 4. Xbox 1 deliveres some cool features sure, however I take better performance/graphics over voice commands. Voice commands in games it's just like 3D, a niche, which I don't need..
It's a good thing GAMErs care more about GAMES than a few extra pixels. Launch games are better and when Titanfall hits Xbox will continue to dominate where it counts. We will see what happens from there. PS2 beat Xbox original overall because of more games that people wanted despite a huge power difference. In the end, they will both be worth owning like almost any console that has come before.
Wii U is still in 1stContinue to dominate?, I was under the impression the XB1 is behind in WW sales. So dominating what? second place?.
I don't know how reliable this is at gathering general sentiment, but I guess that's good news for Microsoft. I think it's really hard to make any predictions about next gen at this point though, whether it's sales numbers or early sentiment.
Both companies are selling every console they can make right now, and it seems it will be that way at least until January. The company that is selling more is the one that is making more right now. And a lot of the people that are buying these consoles now fall into the PS4/Xbox One fanboy or hardcore gamer category, and their sentiment and impressions don't always correspond with the more casual club.
I think next winter around this time is when we'll actually get a much better picture of how this gen is going. I could see Halo and Titanfall giving the Xbox One an early lead though. I'm sure Sony will show off some very good exclusives, but I don't know if they'll have anything next year that carries the same weight as those two franchises.
Just like the Kinect was supposed to be mandatory at all times?
Just like headsets were not supposed to be included because the Kinect provided sufficient voice communication?
Just like the Xbox One was supposed to be an online requirement/hourly check-up process?
Just like there were going to be restrictions on buying/selling Used Xbox One games?
Just like there were going to be restrictions on sharing game discs with friends?
I recall people saying all of those things were never going to be reversed right after E3 because they were all 'integral parts' of this generation.
I see why you skipped the PS3 / XBOX360 comparison ...It's a good thing GAMErs care more about GAMES than a few extra pixels. Launch games are better and when Titanfall hits Xbox will continue to dominate where it counts. We will see what happens from there. PS2 beat Xbox original overall because of more games that people wanted despite a huge power difference. In the end, they will both be worth owning like almost any console that has come before.
All games technically use Kinect..... if you had an Xbox one you would understand what I mean by this... but you don't so its kind hard to explain.Kinect is sooooo important for MS that its biggest game(TITANSFALL) doesn't(THANKFULLY) use it.
Continue to dominate?, I was under the impression the XB1 is behind in WW sales. So dominating what? second place?.

The games race, I couldn't care less about sales, only fanboys care about that. As you can see, I said "where it counts." Pls go.

Not sure what you're talking about. What do you think I am comparing? I mentioned the PS2 and Xbox original to show how little the power difference matters. There was a much bigger difference then than with PS3 and Xbox 360 and overall, I would say the 360 performed better overall. It had Uncharted which was better looking than anything on 360 but the majority of games looked and ran smoother on 360. Why would I even bring them up? Again, I am not talking about sales.
I admit it Viktor.... the Xbox one is doing better than I wanted it too.
I used to love MS but i just can't see why Gamers are not aware of what this company is doing and keep supporting them as if its their own. just my 2 cents ....

Not sure why anyone would want any console to not do well. If someone prefers one over the other, great...but to wish less of a success on them............
Money is always a companies number one goal. They really don't care what moniker you place yourself under either. All that talk about being "for gamers" back in Feb from Sony was scripted and designed to make you buy their product. It works when they get your money. You have to choose based on the product what works best for you. I choose all. I will have a Ps4 once infamous comes out. I chose an X1 first because I prefer Microsoft products. They owe me nothing. It is a symbiotic relationship. They enjoy my money and I enjoy their games. What is funny as a customer they treat me fine. My surface rt broke yesterday. The Microsoft store gave me a brand new one, no questions asked. Just handed it to me. Things like that earn my repeat business.WoW what do gamers actually care wich company dominates the market?! They won't pay ur bills or help you out if ur in need of money is it?! I was a Day One 360 owner and i will list my reasons why i won't support MS this time around as its clear to me making Money is their number 1 Goal and we gamers are not really in their best intrest.
You need Xbox live gold to be able to use almost every feature on XBL. First they force you to buy Kinect and unless you have gold you can't even use the Video Chat feature and many more: Party chat, Crackle, Sports Pick, Internet Explorer, Skydrive-cloud storage, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Game DVR, Netflix NFL etc... in comparison to PS+ the only thing u can't use is ONLINE MULTIPLAYER that's it as far i know and has 4 free games you can start to play from Day 1 and games like DC Universe or Planetside 2 dont require PS+

Read GT6's microtransactions are just as restrictive as Forza 5's. Sony was originally forcing people to use their music service if you want to listen to music on your console. They backtracked on that one though and are working on allowing MP3 playing/streaming. Where do you see MS is different from what Sony in giving "less content" and "forcing users to give up more money?" I don't really see it.I wish less success on MS because it's quite obvious where they want to take this market. They want a firm grip with an iron hand over ALL aspects of this business. They want to be able to force developers to do what MS wants them to do, they want to force users to give up more and more money for less and less content and they want to force unwanted hardware on consumers under the guise of "innovation".
Sony's not much better but they're also not as brazen about it either.
Point Taken ... But i just don't like the fact that XB Gold is a paygate for 80% + of the features. I had a a few weeks i didnt play online and didn't really need Gold cause my type of games weren't released yet but i couldn't get in Party chat and chill with my friends, I can do that on PSN. Sony is by no means perfect but MS is really pushing it IMHO. Pay pay pay and its getting old for a company that rich they are acting really really greedy and people shouldn't accept things like this but that's just me i guess.
It's like anything else in life. You get what you pay for and they have a solid and secure online service. I would rather pay a little more if it helps prevent my account getting hacked and not being able to play any online games for over a month. Also no different than a smartphone. You have to pay for some kind of Internet service or data package in order to use the majority of services.Point Taken ...

So glad to see the XO applying duck tape handily to the haters. Not gonna lie.... And I hope it continues at an astronomical rate.
Remember a couple of weeks ago when certain other people couldn't tell us enough about the PS4 on Amazons top yearly chart... Why no one one bringing that up now???
Sounds reasonable. PS4's BLoD is a surefire killer of fun.
Kind of like the X1's broken disc drives? Or all of issues with PSUs I've been reading about?
Those in the minority that keep whining about Kinect obviously don't understand the long term plan and design of the system..
The XO is performing beyond expectancy for one.....it'll get worse if NPD numbers show they've sold more than the PS4. MS has been keeping a steady flow of consoles delivered to retail. Thats a big deal.
