i agree with the man

they were actually so far ahead that they had to paddle back to get in line with the consumers expectations.


Ohhhhhh the irony! Let me get my PC and head into the future!

Microsoft is trying to expand the video game console space instead of playing it safe like Nintendo and Sony. There are people out there bashing them to hell for it but all you have to do is look at dedicated video game handhelds to see what happens when you completely ignore your competition and play it safe by simply doing what you've always done.

In all fairness, Sony has tried to expand, and they have achieved some success.  With Blu-ray 2.0, Blu-ray Live, 3D, apps on the PS3, even putting a blu-ray on the PS3, and a DVD on the PS2, CD on the PS1, eye toy1 and 2.  They have achieved some success, ie the Blu-ray.

They just haven't been able to keep up with some of their competitors innovations.  It's tough world out there.  Who could have predicted the success of the Wii or Kinect?



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Microsoft has the money to make a Xbox One gold. Years ahead of everyone else is stretching it. It has my attention though and I'm thinking of buying.

Not always a good thing. The consoles that are considered ahead for there, rarely do successfully. N64, Dreamcast and probably PS3 were all considered ahead of their time. Only the PS3 did really well out of those 3.



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)
