“There are still many unknown factors, such as pricing, launch dates and quantities, the level of first-party support and, importantly, consumer purchase intent in a world where consoles are no longer just competing with each other, but also with new platforms, such as smartphones and tablets." - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

 

Thoughts?

Wow. I suddenly like Activision more now; not because they are saying bad things about Sony and Microsoft, but because they are being realistic about it. Everyone thinks that these systems will launch 100% perfectly, when that has almost never happened.

But the Wii U is still doomed right?

lol anyways I'm glad someone out there is realistic.

We live in a Smartphone/iPhone world now, of course Microsoft and Sony will have struggles.

so ubisoft: go head first on all next gen, so they have ground to stand on knowmatter how it goes down, unless gamming market completly crashes. Activision, support major games, wait and see who does well, then support them later. EA, rip off were they think the most morons with money are.

*Sigh* I dunno man, so much hype yet there is never a bad sign besides someone being butthurt over their console is better than another's, Both are very powerful yet I know the price will be higher than half a thousand, I don't think anyone should be exited or worried, just wait until something happens.

Of course it will, people got no money these days, pricing takes a lot of thinking, lets hope they get it right.

I am sure it will have a slow start like pretty much every console launch these days, but they will have so much support behind them that i've no doubt they will push through. They will have doom and gloom threads all day long, but the support they have and their marketing will come out pretty strong in the end i think.

Idk how well they will sell. Money is tight these days but i can see them both selling a crap ton BC its Xbox and PlayStation and their fans will get them no matte what lol

I supported Sony last gen (foolishly at first because of ff13) and then it turned out pretty sweet actually. This next gen? Don't know yet. Probably just PC. I agree though, they'll both have slow starts, and then slowly strengthen. 720 might have a slow start because of the online thing, but I don't doubt the majority of American gamers will stick with the 720. I find it strange that people support companies from their own country over those from another, but that's the way it is in a lot of cases. PS4 will be just find however, they'll have a small bite, but lots of them. Of course, not including Japan.
