just stop with your bullshit. it wasnt a minority. MS preorder numbers were getting killed before the 180. everywhere you looked. MS knew if they didnt change they would get slaughtered. simple. as. that. if you want to be mad at anyone it should be MS for not giving people a product they want, failing to advertise the product to convince those people and finally completely scrapping their vision to cater to the MAJORITY.


We know nothing about preoders numbers.

It is a minority. 7mi people that have bought the nextgen are less than 2% of lastgen console market and less than 0.1% of global population.

Steam has close to 70mi users that are ok with DRM, they can´t resell, lend their games. Netflix killed video renting and, together with Amazon, is killing disc based sales.

I just fell in love with my kindle paperwhite, and I can´t do shit with the books I´ve bought besides read then anywhere any time as long I am logged to my Amazon account.

PS: For more insights in how information is the matrick of value, not the midia in it´s inside, please check this book.

??? Argument holds no water, the number of people who have bought next gen are not the only ones to buy, again prove it was a minoroty? Nor does that have any bearing on the sheer number of people whi may have been interested in x1 and simply hated the direction MS went in IF it was a minority MS would not have budged, corporations do not budge for a minority.

 

I repeat, it is MS job to market and get the message out about its product so consumers want it, MS failed, it is their fault. Stiop trying to blame the consumer for MS mishaps.

 

Steam was a digital only platform from day 1, where pc gam

 

Also steam works offline, where PC games are pretty much gone from shelves, Consoles are huge Retail boxes, where people trade in games daily, another useless comparison. Ms policies also required online daily for games to work steam does not.
