| Egelo said: So then wtf do you want ? which is it. What dont you get, they cant compete with PS4 streight up. They have to pick their battles and make sure they wins some. They need ndp wins to seem relevant, else they get nintendo'd into wiiu like irrelevence. They do fire sales and id even debate that since the deals between it and PS4 are always quite close. But ill play they do em because for one it really works well for them and two the mass amount of software sales they achieve in the same time. Them sticking to it tells me the attach ratios must be good and worth it else why continue the same losing strategy over and over. Jan - RE7 They are fine, theyget all the big 3rd parties there is always someone active in its ecosystem. Hell you are making it sound like the X1 is the freaking wiiu. |
Its an al round stupid strategy. The PS4 keeps winning most months because they always have something good either coming or just around the corner. All year round or globally.
MS just seems to be making a lot of very deliberate stupid decisions. And that stupidity gets lost in the odd NPD win or three. They have a very bleak first party output, to add to that they even cancel games.... I doubt they have the luxury to be cancelling their exclusives right now. Theen they release their games on PC which gives even less reason to won an XB1. Its very telling if the most differentiating thing the XB1 has over the PS4 is that ita a 4k movie player.
And lets not forget that last fall they spent almost twice as much on marketing (unless I am mistaken) one teh XB1 than sony did on the PS4. Yet in the first three months of the year we get more than two sony funded exclusives and nothing for the XB1. That all just screams that there money would have ben better spent adding value to their platform via exclusive content (which is all exclusives really do) than to be screaming how good a 4k bluray player it is.
I am saying all this cause I really wonder what MS is thinking. Just so many bad decisions.
