I only dislike the direction microsoft is moving in. The other two I am alright with. |
microsoft is moving in one direction and it's not about gaming it never was and never will.....it's shifting from your office to your home office and now to your living room and in your daily life..... they made that point clear 10 years ago when bill gates said the cellphone is the future
XB was never meant to compete purely on the game market it was a way to step in your media room and in the middle of your life because they knew that staying a software company exclusively was a dead end for them.... they try to find a point where you have to use them for something like it "was/is"the rule for PC
I have no worries about the nextbox blowing our minds out.... once again this is not about casual or core..... because in our day and age it's not just about gaming anymore..... good gaming experience is the basic, the strict minimum any system will have..... what will really make the difference it's all the other services....
much like smartphones today..... making calls is the least important thing now a days.... it's something all of them do....

I'm Canadian, so the movement they are doing is pretty effortless for me in terms of "entertainment". Remember my only real hobby is gaming, so I have everything this generation from Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft. My other hobby watching Television, I don't even do on that....I watch it on the computer, or if Netflix Canada has it, on my ps3.
Microsoft was smart, they already got the hardcore, so they know that strong percentage would not buy multiplatformer any where else, but see I have options. Namely when Sony games are slighty better, they contain more value incase I ever need to sell my collection (worse case situation) and sony actually tries to offer me exclusive stuff.

well I understand what you are saying... the thing is that the reason they have issues to get threw in media related services is due more to copyright issues and broadcasting rules changing from one country to the other.... but the more global the world gets the less it's gonna be an issue.... one day we'll be able to watch the same thing the same day everywhere in the world..... because it's the way people want it.....
now exlusives are irrelevent in my opinion I don't care if a game is exclusive as long as it's good..... to me beside first parties nothing should be exclusive.... that way the competition would be clearly about the system and the in house devs.... i don't want to have to buy more than one system if they all have pretty much the same quality overall!
next generation will be even better than that one by miles I have no doubt about it... and we'll still have tons of fun with it....
