The future slate for Xbox looks absolutely dismal, but maybe they're holding on to announcements for E3 when the shades get pulled on this whole ordeal, or maybe there just isn't enough interest within the heads of Microsoft to keep going on in the Sony-dominated traditional platform scene. This will be a very interesting year to watch for the dynamics of the big two, as Sony will be quiet on hardware for a while, but guns blazing on software. My prediction? Scorpio will sell decently with a much more targeted marketing strategy than Sony ever seems competent enough to do, but won't turn the tide without exceptional software. Sony has won this round, it may be smarter for Microsoft to rebrand for whatever's next. |
Not sure what MS can do at this point. The only thing I can think of will take years to implement and that's getting your own studios like Sony and releasing IP's consistently. Take some chances. One of my favorite quotes from Sony was how They said Uncharted and Last of Us fund all of their other projects that lose money. I love hearing that they are taking chances like that. MS wont do that. They'll find one game and throw out sequel after sequel and not let the studios do anything else. I'm almost positive that's Bungie left cause who wants to do Halo for the rest of their life.
