Xbox has created many fans, It took half of Sony's base, so not sure what you're talking about. Look ps2/xbox sales, then Xbox 360/ps3. MS has come back extremely strong. As far as brand loyalty, you are completely wrong. Games like halo creat loyalty. watch what happens when halo launches on the xbox ONE. you will see loyalty. Hmmmm. what sony game sells like Halo? Oh, non. |
halo has a following for sure but it's not what took half of sony's sales. $400 vs. $600 is what took half of sony's base.
xbox 360, much like ps2, thrived on 3rd parties. they don't have a ton of exclusives. many of their early exclusives like bioshock turned out to not actually be exclusive. and MS doesn't actually own their other big exclusive: gears of war. i personally don't think there is any more loyalty to xbox than there was to ps2 when much of the market left for MS. there are some loyal fans for sure but mostly just non-loyalists. we'll see. ..but to be frank, any platform that sells significantly more than 10M is going to be comprised of mostly non-loyalist as i don't think any of the platform makers have more loyalists than that. most of the market just aren't going to be loyal to anything in particular.
but sony does have it's halo, gran turismo. that was their halo of the ps2 era. today, i'd add whatever naughty dog makes to that list.
