Sony stays winning. Your move Microsoft.

Dont seem possible at this point. At this time last gen Sony had already made  massive corrections, 1.5 years later they announced the PS4 at the peak of the PS3 turn around.

I think MS believe they can just start fresh next gen and therefor will enter next gen  with this current low/lazy output and people are gonna be excited, and they might be correct. 

But i think their best bet is to make corrections now and go into next gen the way sony went into this gen, on a high off PS3, otherwise it might not pay off. Worked for nintendo with the Switch so i could be wrong, but at the same time MS dont have a Mario or Zelda.

I think Sony and Nintendo both did great jobs analyzing why their respective failures (PS3 and Wii U) and doubling down on where they were most successful. Sony caught heat for a high price and low game output. They spent the majority of last gen investing in First Party Development and by the time we came to the PS4 everyone had some sort of experience or trade mark game on the PS4 that gave them freedom and leverage. 

Nintendo held back on launching Killer IPs on the Wii U and saved it for the Switch launch. 

 

Microsoft is just...there.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

One of the biggest French videogame website (jeuxvideo.com) gave the game a 20/20. Until now, they only gave this score to Zelda the Wind Waker and BOTW. Some "fans" are furious, insulting them and asking how big was the payment from Sony XD

Are they accepted on Metacritic? I recognize the name.

I didn't know ps3 was a failure, It did bad in its first years but thought it was ok, it ended selling more than the Xbox 360



Dont go anywhere near youtube, if you been watching reviews of the game as of today your suggested videos will be filled spoiler events titled videos.

I thought they were, but apparently not, I didn't find them on MC.

It was quite a failure in its early years, yeah. 

And as far as PS consoles go, it was the lowest selling. 

Keep in mind they said 'relative' failures, not that they just were a failure. Also, the point of their post was to identify and show how Sony learned from their mistakes and so did Nintendo while Microsoft is not.

Did they also ask how big was the payment from Nintendo? XP

Nah Nintendo 10/10 reviewers usually get told that they are nostalgia biased, Sony 10/10 reviewers are told they are paid off. Rockstar 10/10 reviewers are told they bought into hype. (Do not think any other companies reach this high of a mark outside of those three.)

I swear if all of those older games were reviewed today they would be no where as high in score.
