5 reason I believe Sony will fail next generation

The storm of new gaming is coming and it shall be glorious! New graphics! New ways to play!
But let's be real about our expectation of who is going to be on top. Sony during the ps2 era like the ps1 era crushed it and was on the top of the world when it came to gaming but even being defeated as they were Microsoft had lots of money and at least 1 killer app (*cough Halo). While Nintendo had an abundance of beloved franchises there were timeless.

 What does Sony really have? Honestly Sony has what's called a "Cool Factor". Something they achieved first with the ps1 in being the most advanced gaming technology. Then they quickly got the mantle of having the most games on it's platform. Riding into ps2 they still had allot of games and what was still the most powerful console until Microsoft came along.

The Xbox was more powerful but it did not have the support that Sony did.

Fast forward to 360 and ps3 now Microsoft has support and a very powerful console. So Sony is left with out franchises that are not beloved and a powerful console. Sony has tried to catch up this generation but it just didn't happen Microsoft now has 2 if not 3 killer games. Halo Gears Fable? Sony on  the other hand has great franchises but none of which come even close to the return that Microsoft's 2 can perform.

So here are my 5 reason Sony will ultimately fail next generation.

5. Sony does not have good marketing. If you look at a gears of war or halo release you know that everyone and there momma is aware of it due to Microsoft insane marketing blitz for there games. This is on top of the fact that there games are always feature rich and designed to last. Where as Sony's marketing seems to be more focused on word of mouth and the game being an "experience" rather then a substantial feature rich software offering.

4. Xbox Live is more popular then PSN.Numbers don't lie. Xbox Live is huge and PSN is only carrying a fraction for free of what Xbox Live has and get revenue from. PlayStation Plus is a joke. It's no where near the Prophets of xbox live and still has less then a fraction of it's users.

3. lack of third party support. Microsoft will no doubt have the games that people want tied to 360 in one way or another and will make sure they run best on 360 that much we are assured.

2. Microsoft first party games are more profitable then Sony's. Numbers don't lie Halo and Gears do much better then Sony's best. Put them up again Uncharted and God of war any day and halo and gears are much better property's

1. Microsoft has more money. Bill Gates said it himself if Xbox fails they will simply release another one and another one. Because they can.
