As europeen,

I don't care about social game, i don't care about football, and i play strategy game on my PC, the game i can like  outside of this is, action/adventure, jrpg & various japanese game !

So unless microsoft put a good feet in japan, i can say i am not tempted much per xboxone, only 2 game suit my taste atm, and they not out before 2016, and 2 is so low to consider a buy, when at end they may end on PC too.

But what does XBox have to do with CL TV rights? And you do know how much those cost? They are a billion pounds for the UK alone, for Europe MS would have to pay about $20-30 billion (per year). 

And surely UEFA would give it to them so only about 80 million people can watch it (in case that XBox took a 100% marketshare).

 

The only way MS can make XOne sell more in Europe is to allow it to be modded.

its 1 billion for some years. and the uk is the costlys market by far(and they could partner with sky for some bs).

i would guess 500m-1b pe year i the price for europe wide exclusivish CL, BUT they would make alot of money from subscriptions.

it would mean going the wii road, get a xbone in every home, gamer or not.   and trust me, people would buy into this to watch CL. football is the only reason there is any paytv in europe.

That's a whole bunch of arrogance which basically translates to "most of the PS4's titles are coming 2016 so were going to beat our chests and make it look like we turned things around ourselves this year".


how the heck did you read arrogance in that?


this is how blant arrogant talk looks like:

Oh, geez Microsoft seriously just sstop, nobody outside of the UK wants your console in Europe and your usual stuff plus timed Tomb Raider is not going to change that.

Nah, actually that's what realism looks like, you really have to worry about the state of Xbox Europe if their top management thinks they can bring the same stuff to the market they've brought for the last 8 years or so, add Tomb Raider (for a couple months) and boom they suddenly start making up lost marketshare. I think they actually know that that's not going to happen but gotta make it look good for the press, can't really blame them for that.

Also I'd like to know what their supposed strategy and social gaming killer app this holiday season is supposed to be.

You still didn't explain how MS should broadcast the CL. Digital only on Xboxes? Taking it away from commercial television? More than selling Xboxes MS would get riots at his head quarters, with burning offices. I mean, they are the Hooligans we are talking about. Why the heck should one buy an Xbox to watch it?

digital only, exclusive on xboxone.   they have to go big or go home in europe. and this would be the biggest thing ever



Now that Sony has COD deals, there is no chance of MS having any hope in EU.





Nothing is gona change they're situation here, not even in the uk. The PS4 momentun is unbeatable in this Generation, everywere in the world.

"Normally, most of the B-teams of the DC Universe should have no problem with either Goku or any other SSJ out there, Gotenks and Vegito included. I think Black Adam would be enough, easily, to end them both. Maybe Booster Gold, if he could stop being a fuck up for a while."

just pretend to yourself, live in your own world and be happy...
commets like that are just pure arrogance and only be used by a cetrain group of people

i also could say no1 gives a shit about uncharted and most sony first party games in the us. they only buy that console for theire daily dose of shooter and sports + action games. why do they even try. and that would be pure arrogant fanboy talk, too

people and regions prefer different games and console for different reasons. some are in the majority some are in the minority
over 1 million people already disagree with you. and microsoft is doing great for THEIRE audience. if people want to join xbox, fine. many will follow. some won't, because playstaion fits them more. some will never because they are just dislike everything microsft and xbox relatet no matter what. that is also okay, but the xbox is not made for that kind of people, and microsoft should not even care for that kind of people. at most for the money of that "audience"

microsoft has to compete with sony this generation without the xb360 head start and the fucked up ps3 launch.
even last gen, they got outsold over 2:1 in continental europe. microsoft had a rough start, but they are fine.
if they manage 10 million liftime in europe (without uk ofc) they should be very happy. if the ps4 don't outsell the xb1 by more than 3 or 4:1 overall in continental europe, they should be happy

 

p.s.
social gaming killer app = minecraft ofc
that's what they refer to. minecraft is always in the top 10 sales charts in southern europe...
