Atari Founder Expects Xbox 720 to Outsell PS4
“I personally believe Microsoft is in a superior position, and the reason is Sony, whenever they change consoles, the software tools that they have are lame,” said Bushnell in a recent interview with Game Trailers about the chances of the Xbox 720/Xbox Next/Next Xbox. “A lot of people do not realize how strong the software community is at making the hardware platform sing and dance,” the Atari founder added.
Despite Sony’s efforts to make the PS4 a more developer-centric console with its hardware, as well as developer tools, there are several experts who believe that isn't enough for Sony to outdo Microsoft and its so-called “Xbox 720”, which is known internally as Durango.
Aside from Microsoft having superior developer tools, Bushnell believes another variable that could work in Microsoft’s favor is its financial kitty. Microsoft’s superior budget, said Bushnell, could help the Redmond company “defend” its capability of manufacturing “much better products sooner and easier” with the aid of its “strong software tools.”
Nonetheless, gaming industry and technology specialists are still confident in Sony’s potential to improve graphical quality drastically based on confirmed specifications thus far. They also believe that the chasm between Microsoft and Sony in terms of compatible video game titles wouldn't be that significant at first, but could potentially become much larger over time, eventually determining which company’s console outsells the other at the end of the day.

In my opinion it is too early to tell how the gaming community are going to react to the two next-gen consoles. Once we find out all we need to know about the upcoming Xbox, then it will get serious.

ITG Honestly, who doesn't? Microsoft is too big of a company to not beat Sony.
I don't. I think there are many factors and rumors that can hurt them. Like the always on console, no used games or the $599 starting price point.

Undisclosed I believe it will sell better for the sole reason of having a more reliable service and hopefully better controller
Well the ps4 controller looks just like the ps3's, and Microsoft already said they won't change it that much if at all.
