I honestly don't know <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> ).Again no.  Everyone I know, quite literally my entire gaming circle, with exception to 2 people, are 360 gamers and NONE of them want Kinect and most (if not all tbh) are switching to PS4.  I like Forza a lot and I think Killer Instinct looks great but I can't justify the extra 100$.  And with Prism and all this 1984 **** going on yeah you're damned right I don't want that camera in my home.  ****ing telescreen coming true, and if you read up on Prism you'll know Microsoft was the FIRST company on board with that ****.  **** um.I won't count them out because like Sony they have an army of fanboys now that don't think for themselves and will purchase anything that says Xbox or Microsoft.  Not saying you, just saying in general.  And Sony Fanboys are the absolute worst so I'll be careful who I add to my new PSN ID later this year.As for the "game".  I love industry speculation.  If you look at the market, Microsoft has a BIG lead in the USA.  But Sony has been able to keep pace because of their European and Japanese presence.  Microsoft needed to get Europe into the Xbox One in a big way if they wanted to remain industry leaders going into next gen.  Instead they chose Kinect, a 100$ more expensive box and a bunch of cable box features that are absolutely meaningless to anyone outside of the US.  You can call Japan irrelevant but PS3 did 7-8 million units over there that's nothing to sneeze at.  IMO Microsoft bet it all on the US and they are betting on Xbox One to become some Apple-level breakout success.  I highly doubt that is going to happen.  But you never know. If I had to make a prediction.  I think Microsoft has lost and will not gain back a very significant portion of core gamers to Sony.  I believe that casuals will not be buying a 500$ box in big enough numbers to make up the difference.  I think Microsoft bet on the wrong horse and I think Sony is going to regain the number 1 position in the market.  I expect significantly so this time, too.  Talking 5-10 million unit lead over the Xbox One and notice I'm not calling it the Xbone I'm trying to be as civil and respectful as possible.</blockquote>
