Comment on Mikhail Golovanov’s Blog on PS4 prefered to XBox One.

I was interested in Mikhail’s blog because one of my good friend’s from back home could not stop talking about the new product by Sony. From the article that Mikhail chose, I completely agree with him that consumers are willing to buy PS4 rather than Microsoft’s XBox One. PS4 has outweighing advantages compared to XBox One and this might be one of the contributing factors to why more people are willing to buy it. Just from the mere fact that one is being released before the other might a reason because people want new stuff in the market as fast as possible. The other reason based on the article is that PS4 usage is not limited to internet usage as compared to the XBox One. Which means that people are willing to get more flexible products. Pricing would also be a factor to consider. I compared the prices of both and PS4 is cheaper by around $100 dollars which shows that basic economic laws are being applied. The other reason why consumers would prefer PS4 is because it is still compatible with its previous games unlike XBox One which has made this a limitation. People would rather go for what they have than spend extra money for something and let the old but still useful ones to go to waste. Sony will therefore have a greater market share after the release of PS4 of which Mikhail has emphasised.
