Over 70% of Xbox owners have Gold memberships, and with the PS4 requiring PS+ for multiplayer I bet numbers there will be similar. And either way who the fuck pays 400-500 bucks for a netflix machine when a 50 dollar blu ray player can do the same thing? I seriously question the intelligence of anyone who has that as a deciding factor.

The NSA has a record of all internet traffic that crosses US DNS servers. So anything that happens online on XBO or PS4 is all the same. And don't forget, the kind of people who buy such expensive machines usually will also have smart phones amd laptops and other devices tht have mics and cameras and gps that can be exploited as well. The console that sits at home should be a very minor concern in comparison.

It's going to come down to the same thing it does every generation, who has the better games, and who can drop prices fastest.
