| usrevenge said: 1. more/better exclusives 2. free online multiplayer, or better gold incentives ( I don't mind paying but it should be like PSN+ with free games every month) That's all they need. exclusives let them win last gen, and the first half this gen, but then they just stopped caring and so PS3 is going out with a bang and xbox is whimpering in the corner. ( and by win i mean gamers talking about them not sales which still, mean nothing) |
MS' xbox strategy has been to carve out market share and quietly make profit. This includes having targeted exclusives and publisher deals, MS stopped with the niche exclusives as really, they do nothing for marketshare. Judging by the HD split this gen, which is about 50/50 of the PS2 market, it looks like it's working and they just need to keep doing the same thing next gen. But I get the feeling that they may be shaping up to pull a Sony next gen and use the xbox brand for leveraging other properties, such as phone and tablet, like Sony did with bluray. That may be a mistake.
