I dont get why people keep saying its MS's last hope. We have other big name games (such as Halo) coming in a year or two. Other unrevealed titles too supposedly. Also the very real possibility of a price cut if things get too bad. They really have a lot of options so saying its their last hope is a bit silly.

Because it is there last hope. Halo 5 isn't going to come till late next year (if rumors are true) and Gears is 2016. That's too late (see Wii U). MS needs to turn things around now, other wise by the time that Halo 5 is out, the PS4 will millions ahead (much more than it already is).

I dont necessarily know if that is true - after all the ps3 really got started with their best exclusives in 2008 with MGS. And of course we know how well the ps3 did after the 2009 price cut and the intro of the slim.
But even if it is true, MS can still drop the price of the console and I suspect they will do exactly that at E3 2014 if Titanfall does not increase their sales hugely. I dont really think they will win this gen's "console war" by doing any of the above options (I personally think the ps4 will win comfortably) but that doesnt mean MS doesnt have options to claw back some of the sales.

The PS4"3 has more global brand power. That is the issue with the X1, it's too American centric
