I believe Microsoft is more concerned with flipping a profit. Xbox One just needs to make money, and it seems the console is finally looking favorable by consumers. Meanwhile at Sony they are just hoping they can still afford the electricity bill.

Besides 3rd party games are the money makers and console sellers. First party is just used to differentiate the two.

Hyrperbole incoming: This bolded sentence makes, quite literally, zero sense.

If the two products are the same given third party software then how does the first party that differentiates them not matter and sway console sales?

Your entire post is at odds with itself. It starts off with a veiled conceit that the important thing for MSFT is simple profit not growth, then immediately jumps to consumer perception, then randomly ignores the games division at sony making a profit and extrapolates Sony Corps struggles and implies the games division is somehow responsible for their mobile division catastrophic losses.

You really could have just said "So, MSFT makes more money" and been done with it rather than post contradicting, unsubstantial sentences.


In regards to bolded that was in reply to sales statement about how Xbox one has had in his opinion the better games yet Ps4 still continues to trump it. The 3rd party games are going to be the biggest selling points but than games like uncharted and halo will give gamers a reason to go with one console in particular. 

And yes let's look at the bigger picture... in rainbow land im sure everything is nice and peachy for Sony. But in essence they are in financial ruin which won't be sustainable for long.  Sony has no choice but to be in first place in terms of consoles and software. Microsoft on the other hand just needs their console to make money to give shareholders a reason to continue funding the Xbox division. OP is implying xbox is doomed since it's not selling 50 million consoles a week like ps4
