RageCreation You're a year late microsoft. Why hell would people in the countries want to buy your console if they have had the more powerful PS4 for almost a year?

Go away Sony drone. Nobody cares about your system.

Classic example of the ignorance on the internet...
For one, MS knows what they are doing. They make more money than Sony does with consoles.
For two, the PS4 isn't more powerful. If your talking hardware then yes, it is a TINY bit more powerful. But if you account for the Xbox One's ability to use the cloud like never before, and its ability to run with the Kinect simultaneously, then the PS4 is no where near as powerful as the One. But I'm going to guess you don't have an Xbox One and you are just a PS fanboy.

DRPZ This is going to make the sales go up very high.

I would not say so. I would think that it would make them go up a little, but the first months of release of a new console is when they get their big sales.
