They don't really have momentum, at least not even close as much as their competitors. To have momentum now they had to start doing shit years ago but they didn't. Why would you think that they suddenly care now when everything is lost anyway, when they didn't even care when they were still in the race?

Xbox isn't even close as strong as a brand as Sony and Nintendo so the only thing they can do to close that gap is starting a new gen a lot earlier, having an unbeatable price and throwing out constant first and 3rd party exclusives. They did nothing of that. So either they're completely stupid and underestimate their competition or they just don't give a fuck and just treat Xbox as a nice little business on the side. The latter of which is much more likely and what I said before.

They do have momentum though.
They have brought 5 studios under their umbrella, many of which already had projects going on anyway.

Don't forget how solid the Xbox One X hardware is relative to it's direct competition... And the subtle hint of Scarlett at E3.

Well. You aren't wrong, they would most certainly have had to start doing shit years ago... And this year we saw a sneek peak of that.

I agree. The Xbox 360 though was a strong brand that gave both Sony and Nintendo a run for it's money.
But Microsoft lost a little of that glamour with the Xbox One.
But it is what it is... Console market is very cyclic.

Yeah.  I would not exactly start making assertions that one of the wealthiest companies is "stupid". - Do they get everything right every-time? Shit no. But neither does Sony or Nintendo.
Just need to give credit where credit is due for all companies.

Microsoft is clearly holding a few cards for next-gen, the Halo tech demo was a hint towards that in my opinion with some of the rendering techniques employed in that demonstration.

Doesn't matter true generation are thing of the past... There are no reason to have them anymore.... The next box will or should be backward compatible and the launch game should run or at least be available on Xbox one x at least.... Beside forcing to upgrade there is no reason to have generations for either Sony or Microsoft.... So it could release tomorrow or in 2 years won't matter... But I'm pretty sure they will just try to have the most horsepower either way... To keep it a good reason to upgrade...

I would be surprised if they released another console at all. The One X isnt selling well at all and really, neither is the Xbox in general. They will need to come up with something that Sony doesn't have that makes people want that console over the PS5 or risk losing a ton of money. The One X is supposed to be a console that will last another 5 years

According to whom?

LOL exactly my thought

The Xbox is not selling well?? 

I mean OK it's not selling as much as the PS5 but it sure is selling well. With your statement we'd have one or two brands in every markets and that's it... Selling less or even far less than the leader, doesn't mean you can't turn a profit...

And on top of that you realize your non sens just when you see the investment they did in the VG department with the new dev studios... 

If the ps5 plays at least PS4 titles from my librarie, no matter how soon or better the Xbox can be. I Will never buy One.

That's what she said lol 

Sorry that was too tempting to resist 😋

the XBOX brand name is so low right now that whether they release first of second or together,it will have a tough time winning
