They also pushed the X86 architecture in a console, which we see the benefits with making porting games between PC/PS4/One a lot easier. That and making the 360 controllers compatible with PCs helped the PC getting a ton more games that would have stayed on consoles otherwise, revatilizing the platform. Oh yeah, and the Xbox live arcade. They basically created the whole "indie" image, an industry that the PS4 and the Switch are riding on right now. And what about Halo? Being one of the games that helped created e-sport I'm not saying they are perfect, but they clearly changed a lot of things and had a huge part in shaping today's gaming industry. yes now they are lackin in first party games, yes the scorpio should not just be about better graphics. But who says it is? Microsoft has clearly proven over the years that they want to innovate on every levels. So give them a chance to present scorpio and its games before trying to take them down... |
And Atari was once on top of the console market. Your point being?
