| BeElite said: - Alot of X1 greatest failures is it did things maybe even did them well, but it was is things No one actualy asked for from a gaming console. - It will struggle mightly to even achice half the sales 360 did. Its current market failing is due to the simple fact is its figthing for sales on PS4 terms and rules and it simply is inferior at it and has no chance there. Right now its being sold as something its was not originaly designed to do. The costant flip flops as anwsers to failing sales in light of the onslought at the hands of the PS4 has not worked and all its done is confuse consumers while maintaining their string of bad pr and has send a message that it a struggling product. X1 was not designed as a core console a pure gaming machice, but do to its failures that is now the battle ground where its competitions message has been clear. PS4 is a gaming console first and fore most, sales shown people have welcomed that with open wallets. misfired as Always online initial X1 vision- major failure market out right says no PS4 preorder skyrocket over X1. Could be more "what the x1 is does msges that failed" MS was kinda all over the place with this. I fully expect the 399 sku and new supposed focus on games to fail again in terms of out selling the PS4, while it sounds good there have come to many flip flops and pr failures to really buy into it. And history shows whatever they do PS4 still leads, as that happens MS flips flops to another msg and strategy... hell if i know whats next. You are smart enough to realize MS is in no position to flip flop against consumers now. It really can only get better for us now. The benefits of losing. "Supposed focus" on games.....lol. Also none should expect price parity to be enough to match PS4 sales. Its still an inferior product in most ways, to match PS4 sales it would have to be much cheaper then it. Ala 360/PS3 price, parity is NO where near enough to brawl it out with the PS4. While it may bump sales near PS4 or maybe a miracle and even higher then it in June. It will be short lived and will quickly drop to its regular levales though a bit higher then previous. "That's right, PS4 is genetically pure and all "inferior" races must be squashed! Any rise will be brief and we will be back to kick you down and laugh doing so." That is what you are really saying if people read between the lines. Biggest failure on X1 part is it lost the walmart crowd from last gen, this is where the price hurt the most. Hard to show it as we get no sale numbers but the largest retailer that has most custumers many the lower classes is where price matters most. 360s sub PS3 price was a mega win here and a big reason i think 360 did so well in US in comparison to the PS3. Maybe others can add to this, but from what iv seem shoppin there. I think thats where the 360 did majority of its sales ass kicking. I predict X1 market share of 30% of NA 20% Europe and rest 10%. Going of last gen that would be NA 22.5 , Eurrr 11.6, rest 2 and irrelevence in Japan. And we get 36 which works out to sub half of what 360 did. PS4 gets 124m of the market. Which leaves X1 at 22.5% PS4/xone market share. Now it may seem to low and unlikly but reality is. PS4 has taken 71% of the PS4/xone market for 2014. |
I read this. Like I really read this. And you seem to enjoy this. You enjoy kicking people when down ;). It is how you say it really. It takes a zealot to recognize another.
Words like "greatest failures", "struggle mightily", especially the use of "inferior". I take it you like Xbox more then PS2 since PS2 was technically "inferior" ;P.
Multipourpose entertaiment box - once more failure PS4 leads sales. Doesn't change that it is a great multipurpose box.
Waggle Kinetix tv whatever the hell - PS4 leads Doesn't change that kinect still has its uses and works well to command media.
Titanfall 450 bundle msg changing - PS4 still leads even in Murica Doesn't change that it was a great deal.
Secret souce cloud - now just dedicated servers You know games are using it too.
D12 mega power boost, Philly S "not a major change" This is passive PR and MS never pushed this as a substantial improvement.
399 Kless Sku, E3 core gmaing console Make no mistake, this is a good decision.
More bold responses in quote itself.
What is really funny is that the X1/PS4 is just 7 months old and you talk like its all said and done, especially with the predictions you made, especailly with you so sure about NA. At the same time, we all know what you are saying, but you feel you had to repeat it with your own personal smugness thrown in (and happily doing so).
Serious question: Do you actually get pleasure from PS4 leading in sales? I know I did last gen.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
