Atari Founder Expects Xbox 720 to Outsell PS4
“I personally believe Microsoft is in a superior position, and the reason is Sony, whenever they change consoles, the software tools that they have are lame,” said Bushnell in a recent interview with Game Trailers about the chances of the Xbox 720/Xbox Next/Next Xbox. “A lot of people do not realize how strong the software community is at making the hardware platform sing and dance,” the Atari founder added.
Despite Sony’s efforts to make the PS4 a more developer-centric console with its hardware, as well as developer tools, there are several experts who believe that isn't enough for Sony to outdo Microsoft and its so-called “Xbox 720”, which is known internally as Durango.
Aside from Microsoft having superior developer tools, Bushnell believes another variable that could work in Microsoft’s favor is its financial kitty. Microsoft’s superior budget, said Bushnell, could help the Redmond company “defend” its capability of manufacturing “much better products sooner and easier” with the aid of its “strong software tools.”
Nonetheless, gaming industry and technology specialists are still confident in Sony’s potential to improve graphical quality drastically based on confirmed specifications thus far. They also believe that the chasm between Microsoft and Sony in terms of compatible video game titles wouldn't be that significant at first, but could potentially become much larger over time, eventually determining which company’s console outsells the other at the end of the day.

Not surprised, I've heard a lot of my friends who have PS3 wanting to switch to xbox. Microsoft has done a lot of great things, meanwhile Sony gets hacked a lot to ruin their reputation. We'll see what happens, who knows PS4 might make way more sales.

TTG_GTL Still undecided if to get it or not
Just wait until they release more information on the consoles to start thinking.

Taker34Third_Eye It's not hard to believe at all. People just dig Xbox more.
That's why PS3 sold better than 360?
What? Where are you getting this info from? WWW.FakeNews.Com? Pretty sure xbox sold more. That whole thing on the news said PS3 SHIPPED more not SOLD. Two different things. Not saying its better but they did. Had a lot to do with it was cheaper at first and still is. PS3 sold more in foreign countries but in the United States xbox is still leading in sales.

CL4PTRAPSTaRzZ_HDII Does this really matter they both are different in many ways xbox is more reliable and ps4 will have blue ray
If the new xbox gets blu ray that will be cool
It does get blu-ray actually.
