To tell the truth, I disagree with this. The more I look at Xbone, the crappier it looks to me. I mean, just look at it - the design of this console is so poor, easily the worst out of all 3 consoles on the market. It's so big, bland and unappealing, which is a massive let down, considering the first Xbox 360 Slim was the sexiest console last gen (imo). Maybe once they redesign it, it's gonna improve, but at this point it's massive, doesn't allow you to change the internal HDD and isn't as powerful as a significantly smaller PS4. I don't think it really deserves much at this point. It's a poor work on part of both the MS engineers and designers. I think Nintendo could be doing a much better job than it is now. Splatoon is no Metroid after all. But it has potential to become the go-to 2nd console (it will be my 2nd console) and that could just be enough. Remember - Wii U can grown in all 3 regions, while Xbone is limited only to NA. If Wii U grows by 10k in each, Xbone has to grow by 30k in America. This will be an interesting race, since both companies aim for different customers and need a different strategy. Xbone is probably the favourite, but Nintendo will put up a fight. And as someone said it here, I hope Nintendo learns that at this point, they mean next to nothing on the market without having 3rd parties on board, so they can't afford any more of this crap with underpowered consoles that may be ok for Nintendo but give nothing to work with to the 3rd parties. |
The design matters little when it has the games. Yes, PS4 looks better, (IMO) is smaller, and more powerful but against the Wii U, it still did more right. It's a video game console after all. It laps it over and over again, in releases. (Quantity)
Nintendo is putting up a fight to stay relevant. Against the XBO? They could be trying harder. I don't blame them though, focusing on getting the next console right is probably best
