What will be the key to win the 8th generation console war?

What do you guys think? Will it be the price, the features of each console, the hit exclusives? Let me know what you think. How important do you think it is to come out of 2013 with a lead?

Freedom and not being raped in the ass by greedy companies.

wii u needs great games. A lack of third party support won't help.

xb1 has it's media features, but it will need more great games.

ps4 has it's powerful gpu, but it will need more great games.

I think PS4 will 'sell itself' the most easily.

if there's a key then Sony's the only one that have it.

Well that rules out Sony and MS

Nintendo F'd up by making the Wii U lame with a pad controller.

MS F'd up with anti-consumer policies and sacrificing gaming to make the X1 have TV and other apps with a low GPU and RAM.

Sony did the best as they possibly could have. They made the PS4 all about gaming and put in powerful GPU and the best RAM while making the console affordable.

If people want the best gaming experience for a decent price it's PS4. Time will show if people are dedicated to getting the best gaming experience or if they like other crap on their console at the expense of gaming and can overlook MS's anti-consumer crap they tried, or they like an underpowered console with a tablet controller.

I have a feeling Sony's philosiphy of what people want out of a gaming console will be what the majority do want.

Exclusive games.

Not being MS or Nintendo should do the trick.

1. Exclusive games

2. Online multiplayer

3. Exclusive features that work.

Its a long fight, these consoles wars. You don't reach 80 million overnight, and its an up and down business. You can start slow and get hot, or start fast and fall apart. You jiust never know. So buy what appeals to you most. For me, that is the Xbox One :)

Price and worldwide appeal like every other generation.

1080peeeeeeeeeeee.

Games. It's always been games.. It could be a strong diverse lineup (PS1/PS2).. It could be ONE killer app (Wii Sports lel).. It could be a franchise (Call of Duty) <- could even be multiplat
