RolStoppable said: As gamer, I say that Microsoft should drop it because they entered the console market for the wrong reasons. The less involved they are, the better. From the perspective of what makes the most sense for Microsoft, I say that it is a waste of time and money for them. They aren't going to sell more hardware with such efforts, at least not enough to make the efforts worth it. Japan is not going to start buying Xbox Ones, the amount of Xbox owners in America and Europe who are interested in Japanese content is negligible. In a broader sense, people who are interested in Japanese content aren't going to pick Xbox as their primary device, so Microsoft's efforts for more multiplats are going to be futile. It's not like Microsoft is the only console manufacturer in such a situation. Nintendo isn't going to convince the AAA industry to make games for them, at the same time people who are interested in the AAA industry games aren't going to pick Nintendo as their primary device; the correct course of action for Nintendo is to focus on the things that actually sell hardware, and that's what Nintendo is doing with Switch. Sony can't compete in the handheld market because their first party isn't good enough; the correct course of action is to exit and focus their efforts on home consoles, and that's what they did. But Microsoft apparently still hasn't understood what's up; they'd be better off by doubling down on what matters for them and that's games for America. Nobody really knows what Microsoft's goal with Xbox is at this point. Microsoft probably isn't even sure what they want to do, hence why Phil took a trip to Japan. I suppose it's good PR, but I don't think it will amount to anything tangible. |
Meet the Sony Switch:
super wrong we all know sony can't compete in handhelds but they are making a switch to at least get 1-13mill says flop as usual.
