Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why gets Microsoft a Free Pass when it comes to droughts unlike Sony for this year?

The Xbox One has no exclusive AAA games so far and will continiue having no Major releases until at the very end of September when Halo 5 comes out. Thats 9 entire Months with no games in this year. 

Yet if Sony delivers games like Bloodborne, Order, MLB 15, Until Dawn until august and comes in a situation where they have a drought for 3 months people are so disspointed about Sony and saying this and that. Even before E3 has started.

Yet where is the same critisim for MS having no major games for 9 entire Months?

This is a fun thread, right?

This was the original OP:

I guess since Sony is going so well this gen, the expectations are set higher for them too.

Because we only play games during the holidays, everything else is Pre-Season. We only play games for 2 months and that's it. Ok?

 

It's also funny they say that, yet the lost 2014 in US even with there "strong holiday lineup". I don't see how this year will be any different.

Samurai warriors 4-2 dragon guest heroes,disgaea 5,tearaway,until dawn,omega quintet,the order 1886. And quite a lot more RETAIL releases.

The question remains what has microsoft for next year?

This thread will turn out lovely...

Love the assumptions though. Who's to say they are getting a free pass? Might just not be that vocal on this website.

Because Sony's winning. They're supposed to keep up with the bar they set during the PS3 era (albeit with what should've been no longer than a year of hiccup room to account for new hardware). Were MS winning we'd see the same complaints more often, but because the Xbox is playing second fiddle, nobody really cares to talk about their drought.

Only reason we here about the Nintendo droughts is because Nintendo fans are crazy. Myself included. We're all at least a little crazy lol



You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt!  I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading.  After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!

At least Gears, and QB for starters though.

Microsoft has been granted incredible handicaps and the base is far more likely to ignore this issue that Sony's. Yes the PS4 has higher expectations but its also deeper than that:
There is no way for Microsoft to be Sony this gen. It is ahead by as much as Xbox has sold to date. Therefore, Microsoft has been granted incredible considerations.
