Ehh it was MS that convinced people of that, now they succesfully launch a game from a major franchise like Forza with less then half the content of its predecessor give you a 80 dollar special ed with a few extras and even but give you a 50$ car pass to buy back some more content that should have been there from day one at the regualt 59.99 price.

Forza 5 a $130 game with half its predecessors content, only at MS. 

PS3 launch vs RROD is debatable.  But X1s debut was the most controversial anything as far as xbox PS go.

Don't know what perspective you have, but Live Gold was adopted out of necessity more then anything. That and microtransactions have always got a negative backlash online.Doing it first doesn't translate to gamers loving you for it.

But to Sony fans, they now LOVE MP paywalls. Microtransactions? Bring em on! Indie titles? Downplayed last gen but now are the future!

I am serious here, Sony has this squeaky clean image that if there is anything controversal that gamers don't like, Sony can and will make it mainstream popular. Seriously.


You really have to stop generalizing like that sales. I still HATE MP paywalls and find them ridiculous and Indie titles have always had some gems in my eyes. Doesn't matter who did it....if it is good it is just good. If it is bad it is just bad....

THe reason in my opinion that MS got all teh crap they did is because they had basically ONLY exclusive indie/arcade titles for a while and were not trying ANYTHING different or new at all as far as big AAA exclusives went. And that was years into the life cycle of the 360. Sony has indie support at the start with some great Indie games and they have still released 3 retail AAA exclusives and have more in the works. And it is also only the start of the generation. The two situations are  seemingly the same yet different if you ask me. Even though I felt like XBLA had some great titles that I loved playing I still felt like they were lacking outside of that as far as exclusives go for the 360 to have already been out for so many years.

And now at the start of the gen on a 5-6 month old console people are trying to act as if it is the same thing when it clearly is not. Sony is getting all this Indie support because MS blew them off so they flocked to Sony. But at the same time Sony still has new IPs annouced and others in the works that they have not annouced. Not getting on you personally Sales it is just I get tired of hearing the same complaints about Sony and Indies just like I get tired of people down playing MS with the XB1 when it is clear they have a heavy focus on games and should be applauded for that.

Lastly I am not a fan of microtransactions either especially if I have already paid full price for a game and it content that should have been included is not just so I have to pay extra for it thanks to microtransactions. Nope don't like it AT ALL.
