Going to be interesting to see how it all pans out. It really depends how much traction Nintendo's exclusives get. XB1 hasn't as far as I'm concerned had any of it's main hitters yet as Ithink a lot of 360 owners will probably be content until exclusive Halo and GoW games launch. But by that point, the PS4 will also have hit it's stride and they may opt for that. Wii U currently looks like the logical secondary console for most people. Could be close.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

I just feel like the Xbox is toast everything that Xbox has 3rd party wise is better on the ps4. And people looking for a second console are going to buy a wii u whether it be a Xbox owner or a ps4. I know im in the minority as wii u is my main console and ps4 is my secondary but hey its an awesome console. Anyways your thoughts? not trying to upset anyone just my opinion I love halo but im not spending 400 dollars and 60 dollars a year for halo.


This made me laugh really hard

GOW is God Of War, not Gears Of War!

I agree to your point, though. In fact even Halo: MCC won't really bring many 360 users over to XB1 because its just an HD collection. Halo 5: Guardians would be the game which would convert many 360 users to XB1 users and Gears Of War 4 would further establish that.

I don't know if that reference was intentional or not!

it will be there, but the wii u will probably get replaced with a new console that´s slightly more powerfull than the ps4 in that year,

nitendo don´t support it´s consoles long, even the wii was a barren wasteland after 2011

Man some fans and there ridiculous predictions never cease to amaze, totally out of touch with reality.

nintendo will not start the next gen so early, they got burned with the wii u.

if sony will be around, we will see.

m$ will spin off the xbox brand 2015/16 why? because the shareholders will be to pissed. they are allready realy pissed, because xbox cost money and there is no way the console market will grow like m$ hoped for.  

m$ just dont has the studios to turn a good profit with software like nintendo or sony can. they are allready making preperations to spin of xbox.

m$ just dont need xbox like nintendo needs the console buisness of sony needs the elektronic business(with the playstation brand as last succesfull part).

they tryed to win last gen with games and this gen with multimedia, and both failed. they just cant explain to the shareholders why they should pay for the console buisness when they cant even outsell the struggling wiiu in the first year like the ps4 did in 5 month or so.

they make profit with the xbox one,

shareholders don´t really care about outselling other consoles as long as they get money

 

people like you are saying that they will sell xbox for 10 years and they still don´t have

 

and even if they would sell the xbox division, the xbox one would still be there,

 

but keep dreaming

Umm I don't think you are right at all.maybe you are the one dreaming?? Since xbox started they have lost more then made and xone is not making money currently. By the time it does it will be tiny as to not matter to MS. All there money comes from Softwware licensing.
