The Madden curse is because EA is cursed. Microsoft should be fine!

But EA and Respawn are supposedly making an exclusive game for Microsoft. Don't you get it? It's all connected!

I agree with you the WIi U was cursed when EA annouced their "unprecident support" since the break down Wii U sales have picked up maybe 2% lol.

Jokes aside,

I don't know about curses, but readin gthat Madden Curse thing, is pretty interesting stuff lol.

I would also like to address the Poll; there should be an option for "Spin the Wheel of Fortune!" since this can either end up good or bad.

In that case what about curse of the 4th console for PS4? Nintendo Gamecube, ended up 3rd and very low sales for a Nintendo console. Sega Dreamcast ended up last and Sega ended their console business.

And in this case Sony's 3rd console has almost sold 80m and is in the top 5 of best selling consoles ever. (no handheld)

i think microsoft will be fine, only the market leader's third console was cursed. Microsoft is yet to be a market leader

the only curse it'll have is that it'll be stuck in 2nd place for most all of the gen like has the past 2

That's a boring answer though. It might end up good, it might end up bad. Enough uncertainty, it's time to make decision!



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

It's difficult to make a decision with having close to no information.

if they manage to fuck it up as badly as windows 8 then they are screwed.

Even if curses exist (which they don't), your data is dodgy to start with. The Saturn was Sega's 4th console not 3rd, also while the ps3 had a rocky start it has been relatively successfully, They sacrificed a lot for Blu-ray and lost a lot of money but still it is finishing the gen around equal 2nd.
