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.


Do you remember that leaked MS doc from a few years back that showed their plans for what would become Xbone? The first step was conning "core gamers" because according to them, they're the ones who start the party and get your console rolling. In those documents, they basically spelled out everything that they're doing right now. They WANT to fool the core gamer into buying their console at launch by showing core games, and talking about specs etc. That's why they have freaked out about all the PS4>Xbone specs talk because it's screawing their entire business plan. They were suppose to con the hard core player into buying the system, then pull a bait and switch like they did with the 360.

It' not happening, and they don't know what to do.
