Yet another #damagecontrol press release by M$, eh?

Look around you, mate. The writing is on the wall no well informed consumer trusts M$ nor its products anymore - especially when Xbox One blew it big time last year.

For 10 months in a row majority of American gamers want the PS4 more over the Xbox. Something you and M$ can not deny nor hide forever.

M$ can never release sales figures for the Xbox One because its embarrassingly abysmal. Even you loyal to can't even get figures from your beloved M$, can you? You guys are in the dark & lost.

You compare Xbox One with PS4, Bing with Google, Windows with Android and iOS, Windows Phone with Android & iPhone, Surface with Android & iPad, Internet Explorer with Firefox & Chrome, Windows PC with tablets and smartphones....

M$ might have hundreds of billions of dollars but the well informed consumers has spoken with their wallets- no amount of money from M$ can buy their trust.

You cannot restrict everything to US, and believe me there's no chance Microsot's Xbox One is getting ahead of Sony's PS4, Worldwide.

Fill me in...when did that happen?

Lol.. When was that??

I agree with your comment but disagree about the games for the PS4. Well informed gamers know that the PS4 has the most games of the 2 systems. Also they would tell you the first half of the year was owned by Sony. Exclusive after exclusive released while MS released Titan Fall. After TF nothing until recently this fall with Forza, Sunset Overdrive and Halo Remake. Sony still has one exclusive left to release this year, LittleBigPlanet 3.

We need to be carful about making statements about who has games because is a matter of opinion.

I disagree with you. Partly because your comment is condescending and partly because it contradicts itself- passing trite judgement on the games available and then claiming right after one must be careful about doing just that....

You also you seem to suggest quantity overrides quality.

Sony's biggest, highest rated exclusive game this year and highest rated one on metacritic for PS4 is a HD update of one launched only 12 months prior.

Studying the top rated games closely also show that PS4's lineup albeit certainly wider, is inundated with remakes, ports or updates to smaller titles, often indies and usually on another platform albeit older versions.

Xbox One isn't much better in that regard.

Informed gamers might tell you that these machines have not exactly had a stellar 12 months unless you are mad for remakes and updates.

However it's difficult to argue that Xbox One doesn't have a better holiday lineup by some distance with more exclusives and several more NEW IPs of full games the past 12 months, which should drive sales best- this is the period of most sales naturally.

Despite this, Xbox One is not easily closing the gap. Sony have the advantage and all they need is some triple A games, big hitters and hit new IPs to finish the job.

That's funny because Phill Spencer announced MORE games I 2015 than this holiday. Nice try though.

Yes but has he announced more games than Sony, good try though
