Microsoft has stated there will be no New Console generations going forward. They are trying not the split the base at all, which also means very few exclusives. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/microsoft-talks-xbox-scorpio-and-the-end-of-consol/1100-6442774/ "For us, we think the future is without console generations," Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg said. It is you that doesn't seem to understand where the market is going, but one day you will figure it out. I perfectly understand what the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X do. The Xbox One X is complete failure and waste which hasn't sold anything. |
Microsoft have said many thing they changed later. This for example is over couple years ago. Now if you think MS will launch Xbox next costing 499 and playing same games of base X1 you are for a very strong wake to reality.
Sony have said they will still have next generation. And you can be sure their 1st party won't be hold down to a machine over 10 times weaker than their offering in PS5.
And exclusives on Xbox at the time was basically a no conversation.
drinkandswim said: Xbox One X sold approximately 4 million in it's first year counting 2 Holiday seasons. If you think that is good then I don't know what to tell you. That is pretty abysmal to me considering how much more power it has then the Xbox One. In my opinion they would have been better off splitting the base. Especially considering Xbox One X had a price cut in its first year and a major sale on Black Friday ($399 with a free game). |
Xbox total on that year was less than 10M, so X1X that is the premium offering sold quite good. It doesn't play a single game over X1. So over 40% (perhaps 50%) opting to pay 2,5x more for the same game is quite unexpected.
