Yeah...the investments seem to be focused on next gen. Last I checked they said between two and a half to three years. yeah...the next Xbox will be out by then. Another problem is those exclusives are being made by studios that we know exactly know, so it might or might not turn out well. Remember that we went through this before with Crytek and Black Tusk and one game was switch from a Kinect game to a regular game and the new IP from Black Tusk was scrapped for the perpetual Gears release. There will be one last Halo and One last Gears this gen. This gen for Xbox is like watching a ship sink slowly. Next gen people will be tired of Forza...mark my words.

Like i said in another thread.

This is the same ol' Microsoft we are seeing here, i dont know why people are surprised about this. Yes, this is by far the worst generation for Xbox ever (imo), but the tendencies are always the same.

Xbox consoles start with a strong foot, with several exclusives and deals and then...PUFF, they blow their load and end up the generation in a weak way.

It happened with Xbox, Xbox 360 and we are seeing the same with the Xbox One.

I dont know if they run out of money too soon, if they lack vision in the long term or what, but it always happen the same.

I cant see why it shouldnt be the same for next gen. Great couple of years, shitty couple of years. 

Rinse and Repeat.

Damn we're linking Blackb0nd's videos now? That's pretty much the equivalent of Crapgamer's shit. Dude's a walking hypocrite, can't take anything he says seriously

He has been consistent with his ideas and i consider him pretty level headed with his opinions.

Comparing him with CrapGamer is just ignorant of you and shows that you simply dont watch his content.

You could simply dissmiss his point of view with one of yours, but i guess you lack the required arguments to counter his opinion.

We all know that, but they will pretend that it isn't true.

Well I would say that is the strategy that benefits them on investing less and getting the users to forgive them 3 gens in a row... it probably makes the early adoption fast, warranty 3rd party multiplats and them they cut the money and put on next gen. The burnt customers seem to want more of it.

Lol I got a Crackdown 3 ad before the video started

lol Blackb0nd made it to VGChartz



Clicking on this video made me enter the Sony v Microsoft section of YouTube and I'm very disturbed.



I think he's mostly right, though he doesn't really say anything new. But really I think that's because the situation is obvious.

Xbox needs games. They need big, quality, exclusive, games. It's not a secret. They just don't have a library worth getting excited about and until they do they are always just going to be a not quite as good Playstation.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

What has blackbond said that's hypocritical? I definitely must disagree. Bond is far more objective that crap and could destroy him in a gaming debate. Actually, the last couple debates that I've seen with Xbox owners on YouTube they generally lost. Bond is neutral with Sony and Xbox Though. Chances are he won't buy their consoles now but he'll somehow play their games and give back great feedback.

"I don't play games at 30 fps." 

Played Zelda Breath of the Wild. 

No he's most certainly not objective. All his shitty rhetoric is, is pidgeon holing fanboys.

No he's not, he's again.. a walking contradiction. He doesn't follow his own BS rules. Why would I watch his shitty content? I have to hear about it all the time from WWP. So I've definitely had my fill to know what he's like. 

He's nothing but a glorified troll who has this deep insecurity complex, goes around talking like he's some WWE heel. 

And lol what great content? His 100 videos about Zaire's PC, his love with idiot fanboys, or his videos proving he has a life to a bunch of men on the internet?
