The average German game console consumer is a lot smarter than the average US one. That makes it harder for MS to stay relevant there through marketing and giveaways alone when Sony provide better games, hardware, and services.
MS could step it up a little, but the only -really- strong thing they could do is better emulate Sony's creative role in the industry. |
The average german game console consumer is smarter?
Services, microsoft provides more, look at xbox one features vs ps4. LOOK AT UPDATES, please.
Hardware, goes to ps4.
Games, really? BETTER games? Halo MCC, sunset overdrive, Forza horizon 2 beat driveclub, how does ps4 currently in this season, have the better games?
Anyways, i think microsoft should focus on US and UK. biggest markets. US alone accounts for more than the rest of the world COMBINED.

FH2 is available on 360. MS provides more services in which way? Please tell me aside from XBL and Music what exactly they provide.
Sony has PS+, Music Unlimited, Video Unlimited, PSNow and soon it's own TV streaming service. All owned, operated and provided by Sony.
Games are a toss up. MCC had/s major online issues and literally every thing offered there is, was and has been offered on older platforms.

Lol, microsoft has xbox music, and xbox video, but thats not even the services i meant, Hulu, HBO go, showtime, alot of network programs fron fox, nbc and cw. heck if you check urself there are more apps on Xbox one than ps4.
Even services like EA access too! Dont get me started on psNow even sony fanboys say its a joke. Have you seen the prices??
Tell me one, JUST ONE, platform that allowed you to play 4 games, all on one disc, 100+ multiplayer maps, 4000 gamerscore, and with two of the 4 games being upgraded from their original version. comes with a beta 1 year in advance of release of the next in the series. and a free full produced show.

Then clarify by saying Microsoft depends more on others to provide a wider range of services. Which should be obvious given the original focus of the VCR1 was to be a cable box first, game machine second. HDMI pass through says hello to that. What's funny is that all of those network programs you mentioned are available on Hulu lol. So they've made most apps redundant by having all these same programs available from a single app. I have browsed the app store on X1. It's pretty pathetic both ways - neither console offers more than a handful of apps right now. I will give you one key app X1 has secured - EA Access. But that's catch 22 and goes back to my first sentence - It's because they have ALLOWED more apps on their platform. I'm sure you'll still be bragging when Activision, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Take Two and the rest of the publishers each have their own service too.
But yeah, PSNow is overpriced, agreed. It's also available on non gaming consoles which makes it far more justifiable on those other devices. Pay a premium to stream a game, but no overhead of having to purchase the console before hand. I think that's the market they're going for.
There's one single game in that, Halo 2 that actually got some attention to detail. H1A was already released. They simply rebundled the first 4 games in the series, you make it sound like a godsend yet the multiplayer didn't even work out of the box. I still hear the ranking system is non existant, is that true?
