Well, I think that at this point we can agree that most of the market thinks otherwise, at least based on the shameful sale numbers compared with ps4 and switch last couple of months... 

So, what would you think they should change, that was the question. Saying everything is fine already showed its incorrect... 

nothing except vastly lower the price of their system. They have far too few exclusives these days and it's been a suicide move to put their games on Windows Live as well. even if their end goal is to sort of merge their video game division with their software.... short term it was insane decision to essentially give people fewer reasons to game specifically on Xbox 

no offense but Recore's reviews are far from stellar (and I think its available on Windows Live anyway)

are Gears and Forza really considered top tier enough at this point to retain gamers based on their sales though? Agreed with the general sentiment though, Microsoft needs to invest in big new IPs because they don't have a strong enough group to draw in the bulk of gamers 

In fact the biggest weapon Microsoft probably had was Minecraft, maybe they should have had that as PC + Xbox exclusive, just saying. 

Nothing, the problem is worldwide. There is only a 2 million gap between them if we only look at USA. Scorpio will do shit to change anything. The gap between them will be huge due the world wide sales and there will not be a kinect crowd to push xbox one to 360 numbers here in US to equal what sony does world wide. And sony also has long term partnerships with star wars, disney, destiny and Call of duty so it wont be easy. Lets say a miracle happens and xbox one scorpio sells 2 million at launch in US. The still would need like 28 million more sales to close the gap. That won't be doable before the ps5 launch.

yeah.... spend probably over 5 billion dollars on acquiring Capcom just to essentially TAKE AWAY Franchises from their competitors. Capcom is probably just not worth acquiring at this point for their IPs or someone would have attempted it in the last bunch of years where they weren't doing great imo

Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, Mega Man- they're all stellar franchises but don't justifiy taking over Capcom. Not that a move is even possible most likely , we've been over Japanese law on foreignors buying their companies 

I do agree that moneyhatting for a bunch of third party exclusives can't hurt though. They honestly should get Resident Evil exclusive on the Xbox. get some Square Enix games exclusive (the Tomb Raider game was a mistake obvs, but anyone could have seen that coming). maybe get a window of exclusivity for some giant game (lke a 2K game or some EA sports game).

The problem is MIcrosoft is too cheap with their video game division. They're unwilling to invest heavily into first party development and won't moneyhat third parties. I'm not sure what their longterm plan is beyond, again, just transitioning to a platform where Xbox is directly connected to their PC software/programming 

Terrible idea, they need their own Ips not take away from the others. How does it benefit xbox fans? They would get the game either way. Fortunately, the playstation marketshare is so much bigger that it makes that very unlikely.

i was talking to the other guy and just telling him what i liked.

i dont care waht reviewers said. i hated BoTW and reviewers loved that game. i sold it half way through.
