Yeah, really. I actually thought this was going to be a blast from the past predicting that the original Xbox's failure was teeing Microsoft up for success in the seventh gen. Silly me, it was just a bunch of stupid shit about how cross game chat is a system seller. I'm really interested to see how Microsoft does next gen. There's a pattern of no console being ascendent two generations in a row, seemingly mostly down to corporate hubris. I wonder if MS can break that cycle. The social connectivity aspects of consoles these days might make people less likely to change brands between generations, and if so, then having the strongest online presence has to help them. |
That's the same thing i thought, that Ms lost the onther gen to win this one or something like that.
