The following entry will be a comment about Erik Kain entry on the Forbes Blog website: http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2013/11/16/xbox-one-vs-ps4-the-console-wars-are-just-getting-started/
In the blog entry Erik Kain discusses the future releases of Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s PS4 and the future competition (qualified as war) that will start by the time the new Xbox console is released (PS4 will be released earlier therefore Sony will be competition-free for the time being). He also tries to compare both consoles from what little information there is within his reach before the full release of the consoles on November 15th and 22th.
He came to the conclusion that the consoles aren’t really comparable due to the fact that ever since the start of the “war” between Microsoft and Sony consumers have always been loyal to either one of the brands and is therefore very unlikely to change brand. This is also likely to influence the reviews online because absolutely no one is 100% neutral on the subject and therefore the review will be bias towards whoever the person prefers. In conclusion it is practically impossible to compare those 2 consoles before some time after their release, once gamers have had a handle on the consoles, only then will people be able to compare the Xbox One and the PS4.
