Forums - Microsoft Discussion - It’s About Time We Cut Microsoft Some Slack

It's pretty insecure to believe that every decision against buying an XB1 or any criticism of the XB1 is solely a result of 2013 E3 + Reveal, and everything since then has been perfect. If it was reality would fit that.

If anything, if there was more of a negative slant of XB1 vs PS4 in the media, which I doubt, it would be because of the negative PR MS has generated for itself, not to discount things like baseless rumors.

And at the top most level, "slack" isn't a consideration, lost sales are lost sales, you don't get that back because you made some "superficial changes" that mainstream doesn't care about.

To be fair the XOne is exactly were its suposed to be, I mean the X360 was as sucessfull as it was cause PS3 screwed up badly, but Sony and the Playstation brand have an enormous following datting back to the PS1 days, as soon as ppl saw the PS4 was great they went back to Playstation, the fact that the One sells as well as it does despite the fact that ppl were just waiting an oportunity to return to Sony is an achievement for MS and a testament of what they managed to buil on the OGXbox and Xbox360 days.


So every competitor is destined to fail because of the PS1 and they only buy PS because they don't know better? Btw, I think the 360 was successful because it was an amazing console. This doesn't mean the PS3 wasn't, though. 



if anything xbox should be getting less slack now then ever,.. have you seen the list of third parties games announced for ps4 but not xbox. it's getting staggering now. and now just the little games,.. amazing titles like Valkyria of the Blue Revolution that just got announced today.

This, the way he makes it sound as if Sony is a literal god that bestows greatness upon anyone without it losing a fight but losing on purpose instead. That simply isn't the case though since the 360 was a good console for that generation and it brought some old and new within that generation.

People are also very quick to forget how arrogant Sony was last gen with their "get a second job if you want our console" which I still find more damning than "always online", especially since PS3 also started out at a higher price point and their cell cpu is also screwing them over with full on BC support compared to Wii U, XB1 and PC and yet no one is giving Sony huge blows for lack of BC, those that don't give it claim they don't care about old games and then suddenly they do when remakes or remasters come about which shows in the end that they do in fact care. I honestly don't know what planet people come from when they pay for something they intend to keep yet don't want to ever play it again in the future let alone on another device of the same brand and yet pay more for the same game with little added to it but still being the same game, I personally always want to play my games both old and new.

I have never seen one console get so many pledge drive articles to beg people to buy it. Enough people own the console now and it will provide a lot of content from here on. If you have an Xbox One, there's a lot to do on it, MS had always made sure that was going to happen. There's no shame in buying an Xbox One. When I see articles like this, they're creating their own inferiority complex with owning the console. Are you enjoying the console, or do you just want other people to buy it because you don't like being out of the status quo? It's just plastic, have fun with it.

I think for the most part, people don't even consider that E3 reveal as a purchasing point. It's ironic that he accuses people of treating the Xbox One like a boogeyman when that's exactly what he's doing with those E3 conferences.

But Xbox/MS don't care about Japanese games nor do they ened them is what I keep getting told time and time again from multiple sides, so why or what does it matter to MS that Sony got some Japanese games on a Japanese system that isn't their own?.

If MS mentioend some Japanese games people wouldn't be over the moon for them, if anything we'd be met mostly with "I wonder if it's been moneyhatted or if it's ever going to PS4/VIta. Then of course we also forget the whole Western games scenario where we go with "MS only publishes Western games/shooters", to which we then go back to the Japanese focus and we begin the circle anew.

How do we even know if those titles are amazing when they haven't been played or released though?, do we even know if they will be exclusive forever?, especially since Sega has future plans with not only PS4 but PC and them having released the first VC game on PC this year, it'd be super daft to just give that platform the frist game and nothing else for years on end, especially after their recent promise of quality titles/ports.

Sony was never forgiven for the disaster that was the PS3.

Nintendo will never be forgiven for the disaster that is the Wii U.

Why should Microsoft be forgiven for the Xbox One?!

There is no special treatment. Only WAR!!!

Man that reveal though... and their outlook on the future of console gameing was pretty grim.

I honestly dont think they would have changed their tune, if sales and PR backlash wherent that overwhelmingly negative.

 

Cut them slack for that? no.

Do they have good games for their console? yes.

 

Think americans where to quick to forgive and forget, plenty of slack has been given them already.

Nothing wrong with a digital future imo.

If you have a friend/brother/sister whatever with an Xbox One.  You can set your home console to theirs and they can set their home console to yours.   You get access to any game each other downloads and you can both play online at the same time or seperately.  And its something that is super easy to do.

 

I don't know why people wouldn't cut them slack, this forum has many users that mightily hate the XBO and know how to get away with subtle shots that are trolling.  And I have no idea why.  That new dashboard update is damn amazing and its finally faster than the 360s UI.  + games.  I just use my xbox one for a select number of games (not many), tv, and streaming.
