Just paid a visit to Metacritic and I discovered the following:
Meta Score | XBOX One | Playstation 4 |
90+ | 2 | 6 |
75-89 | 67 | 108 |
50-74 | 87 | 107 |
1-49 | 8 | 15 |
That's right, PS4's game library is just far bigger and better rated. And people buy consoles to play games.
I think all the talk about MS damaging the XBOX brand with their terrible initial marketing is overblown, the average consumer wasn't consuming that information. The only people who paid attention to that were core gamers, who are still paying attention and know that MS changed the policies they initially had.
Bad marketing isn't keeping XB1 down, it's the lack of games.
