To me it just feel like Microsoft have taken their foot off the throttle and are just riding out the last of the wave. They will likely come out strong again next gen but quickly fade again if things dont work out for them. For a jrpg guy like myself there is 0 reason to own an xbone unless it get full BC then that will at least give me a reason to buy one since I dont have a 360 anymore and half a dozen 360 jrpgs from when they gave a fuck. |
I mean, I do consider myself an Xbox fan, but I agree with this sentiment. 360 last gen was a great console all-around, and the first five years is as daunting as Microsoft will ever be in the console space, both in western and eastern software. They secured deals, games, exclusives and everything that gave it the software advantage over their competitors. It got decent sales in Japan all things considered, it had a cult shump following, and it managed to break Sony's consecutive exclusiveness of mainline Final Fantasy past FFVII, not to mention it basically made an almost unbreakable streak of NPD wins thanks to their strong presence there.
360 had Peter Moore for the first years, among other people who had much better (gaming) focus than the current heads. That's why in order to achieve anything, these people need to come back.
