Basically this is the 6th gen, but with Xbox One doing better then the original Xbox at the very least. Serious observation: While I am sure diehard PS fans have zero problems with a repeat monopoly of the PS2, this confirms a personal theory that when PS wins a gen, they literally don't leave any room for competition to thrive. Nintendo will turtle and stick to just 1st party, and MS simply can no longer sustain their spending/expanding. At least in the 7th gen, all 3 companies thrived in their own respects. That IMO is how it should have been. Before people rebuttal me concerning my Xbox bias, yes 360 had a upper hand for the majority of the gen, but it certainly was no monopoly, as PS3 controlled mainland Europe/Japan, with Nintendo going after a different demographic all together. I dunno, call me someone who has a nostalgic soft spot for Nintendo and wants to see Xbox One selling better then it currently deserves. |
Only thing is, is that the Wii U was doing badly before the PS4/XB1 came out. A lot of XB1's bad image is mainly Microsofts fault, even after they fixed most of it the $500 price point at the beginning did a lot of damage to the obviously more powerful $100 cheaper PS4. Now people are just getting what they're friends already have.
And silly parent's heard about XB1's negativity but probably don't even know it's been reversed, last gen would've been VERY different if MS didn't have that 1 year head start.
