And you gone from MS not allowing themselves to lose because they have a lot of money to a very specific point of not being without 3rd party support. What hard lesson have they learned? They seem to be doing just the same they always done as a company. And their internal studios are even weaker than they were on X360, |
AAA 3rd party support, the Scorpio won't have trouble getting. However, the Scorpio is not going to solve Microsoft's struggles with indies and Japanese 3rd party games, especially the latter. Quadrupling the amount of terraflops isn't going to convince Japanese developers to make games for the Scorpio, especially when most of their games aren't that graphic intensive. Psycho Pass: Mandatory Happiness, for example, was a timed exclusive in Japan and yet it's being localized for only the PS4, PSV, and PC. Kingdom Hearts 2.8 is exclusive to the PS4 despite KHIII coming out on both the PS4 and XB1. The additional terraflops are also not going to erase Microsoft's very high mininum print order requirement which allegedly led to the cancellation of the physical XB1 version of Shovel Knight.
So while the huge power increase is pretty awesome, it doesn't solve the XB1's biggest problems. The console's struggles were more attributed to software than hardware.
