S.T.A.G.E. on 26 June 2012
| endimion said: lol it's funny how only in S.T.A.G.E. mind PS3 is the only console that has games to play.... yet to my knowledge xbox360 has a catalog longer than PS3 and more exclusive title... so by simple math you can tell that 360 gamers have still a lot to play at their disposition... and reading the different posts here and taking in consideration that most of us are "hardcore" gamers... i'm starting to believe that they might push it to holiday 2014 easily.... if we still have games to play a lot of more casual gamers have even more... and if ms and sony are aware of that and comfortable with their current stream of income i don't see any incentive for them to move on just yet on top of that ms is launching win 8 this year, surface, and probably a win 8 phone in 2013 or earlier... they'll also push oem win 8 distri on arm, tablet pc and smartphone.... there is no doubt win 8 will be a major player in their next box strategy... we have to keep in mind software is their core business not consoles... sony is a hardware company facing major issues in many other corporate branches... if their respective platform still have decent traction I don't see why ms would jump the guns because i don't see sony taking a financial hit on a branch that is healthier than the rest and ms has other priority right now... unless they aim for a launch before sony... so yeah the more time passes the more it seems the next gen could be pushed as far as 2014 imo |
Great...name the exclusives the 360 has to play between now and next year. Outside of Gears, Halo 4 and Horizon. I'll even let you use summer of arcade as a crutch, which isn't that great to begin with. Dont wind yourself now. The Wii is finished as well an prepping for the Wii U. Nintendo didn't even last six years proper before they gave up.
Good luck. :)
