Ok have a look a the recent article from IGN
Can you believe it? after all the disastrous PR. However Skull One from Xbox One Forums seems to have some sort of a clue about what’s going on.
Quoted
"This analyst may actually have a clue. I’ll try to justify why.
Sony didn’t have a unit to show at the initial launch press conference. And it would be weeks before we saw a shell for the console. Still don’t think they have shown a fully working unit. On the other hand…
Microsoft not only showed a unit at the launch press conference, they have shown working units to the press.
Normally that wouldn’t be enough of a clue on how production is going but there is one more piece of evidence that needs to be kept in mind. Microsoft said that the Xbox One will require a day one patch to remove the daily check ins and used game DRM. This statement has had me wondering for weeks; “Just how many consoles are already made”?
If you put all of that together, his prediction might actually have merit.
Of course this could all be BS, but I like to keep a open mind. Comment below and make sure to pre-order a xbox one now before there is none left!!!
Honestly I think the next gen console wars will be a close draw with each company getting about half of the market. I have been on the early preorder bandwagon for the Xbox One for some time now.
The fact that the X1 is beating the 360 in preorders means nothing. Consoles have become a much bigger thing since 2006, and that was a given. Now, when you compare to PS4 sales- that’s where the truth will come out. I’m pretty sure the PS4 is winning by a landslide (due to previous reports) but after the change in policies, maybe things are becoming better for Microsoft.
I’m just waiting for Sony to screw up. It’s bound to happen some time… No?

They did, they just let it slide under the radar at E3. Most of there fans are with the PS3 for 2 reasons:
-Free Online
-Blue-Ray
And now Xbox One has Blue-Ray, and PS4now makes you pay $50 a year for online multiplayer, but they let that one just go almost undetected.
I’m still trying to figure out what “F****” stands for… Shouldn’t it be F***?

F**** = FoRlz
Personally, I think the only reason Xbox One has such a bad reputation compared to PS4 is that Microsoft actually came out and told us what they were doing, were as Sony just let everything slide by.

And Sony commented to make Microsoft look bad at their press conference at E3.

It has nothing to do with the actual hardware, Sony just knows how to talk better. And now the Internet is filled with rabid Xbox haters.
I saw a better lineup of games for Xbox, it still looks to have the better controller, and is what most of my friends who play games are upgrading to.
Reason enough to stay, I’ll pick up a PS4 when Naughty Dog release a game, the only Sony developers who make games I think are top quality are Naughty Dog and Sony Santa Monica.
Guerilla games, Quantic Dream and Media Molecule either make outright bad games or incredibly generic ones, Sucker Punch are alright though.
