My overwhelming feeling is as you alluded to at the beginning, Xbox One is not some massively successful cash cow which ought to be milked for 8 years. It has a roof in terms of sales and impact, arguably the "Xbox One" brand is toxified somewhat, its already down YOY in the UK which was one of its more favourable markets. I think its smart for them to move on sooner rather than later, not just apply a bandaid and milk it some more. Do as they did with the OG Xbox in 2005 and beat sony to the mark. Chasing behind the market leader and doing a "me too" 6-12months later does not sound like a smart plan. Whatever they're doing they should be ahead of sony which is why I think a whole new console ushering in the next generations makes more sense. We'll have to wait and see... |
I think the PS4 Neo caught Microsoft off guard, they wherent expecting it, or didnt have time to react to it properly.
As a result, they ll be a year behinde. They spent more on R&D than sony too (tv stick, tv mini console, XBO slim, XBO-ii).
Its just Sony being on point, and MS a step or two behinde.
