PS4 vs Xbox One clash good for the industry - Microsoft
Addressing investors at the Citi Global Technology conference, Mehdi said, “First, I do think it’s an incredible time for gamers. One of the things that has never happened is we go head-to-head with a competitor on a console launch.”I think that’s going to bring a lot of energy to the overall gaming market and a lot of focus and attention, and I think that’s going to further grow the market. So I think in general it’s a good time to be a gamer. We feel good about our business within that.
“Competitively speaking, so far, I feel like we have a much better… more complete value prop. We do things that aren’t found on other platforms with the Kinect, a huge piece of differentiation. As I said before, the fact that we do entertainment and gaming.
“And then even if you just take gamers, hardcore gamers, gamers buy for the game. They don’t buy for stats on a spec sheet. And if you look at the games we have, according to most industry experts now, a better lineup of games.”
Mehdi’s comments about spec parity echo those made by Microsoft’s Albert Penello last week in which he said between Forza 5, Ryse: Son of Rome and their competitors on rival formats, he sees little difference from a spec standpoint.

The competition is always great as it means that the companies, in this case Microsoft and Sony, will strive to out-do each other by creating the better console. With this, it means that we can expect even better consoles opposed to there only being one "Main games console".

Mentalist I think both companies are going to make BILLIONS on these consoles.
I agree but Xbox One will make more I think

Aggie Yeah it is good for business and publicity.
Obviously, they keep advertising their consoles really.

Lia Competition will always make industries thrive to push out better content and make them work harder to get the upper hand on the other company. Without it, we'ed be getting a product that was merely as good.
Competition also leads to innovation, hence why Microsoft and Sony have been pulling out new functionality for their consoles. I personally like the way that both consoles have turned out due to this

Well of course it is, because they are telling the truth so you will at least know if the console is bad or not, or better!

-Amp I'm definitely going with the Xbox One, though. It has much more potential with Youtube and the competitive scene. As well as the regular family/general person market.
That doesn't make sense as I think Sony can share with Facebook and youtube as well can't it ?
Also Sony probably has more family games then MS, I don't see MS having any exclsuive kids games really.
