It wouldn´t actually surprise me if MS upheld the embargo. The problem MS has right now is that they play in to the notion of X1 being weaker by constantly reminding people of how great their games look. It is a sign of uncertainty tht they should let go off. The X1 can stand on its own, anyone that has seen the games realize that they look just as good as PS4 ones, so let the games do the talking. |
Of course on its own it will be a great gaming device with great games, an improved controller, strong 3rd party support and hardware way better than 360.
It's the competition that is making them trouble by now.

I actually think that PS4 is no trouble at all for X1. I think back to when MS released Kinect and every fan of PS3 bashed it to pieces. MS didn´t care and showed people the attraction that is with Kinect. I do believe most reviewers would say that MS has the stronger launch library, along with their HDMI in-solution and Kinect while PS4 has the stronger graphics capabilities. In other words, MS can market the X1 on its own merits, but right now they are catering to a fanbase that won´t even buy the X1 in the first place, so there is were I see their faults.

I think that your comment hits it right on the head. The only thing that I would add is that the reason that M$ keeps trying to pander to these people is that they just want to make sure Sony doesn't get the whole gaming community to get behind Sony. That would lead to the casuals to follow, just like what happened with the PS2.

I agree, but they should also now that the casuals will come later, and now in the beginning it will mostly be the die hard fans that buy consoles. Word of mouth did alot for Kinect (still to this day I meet people that, when they see Kinect, actually want a 360 just for it). They should play it cool :).
