I think Microsoft will release an xbox console every three years.

The overall number of titles they've been publishing (your qualifier from an earlier discussion) has been comparable, but the reception of those titles has been considerably less positive. MS had published 5 90+ titles by this point last gen, and many more 80+. If you want to follow a different definition to earlier and remove various 360 titles from the comparison then fine, but all that does is shift the discussion from "MS have seen a dip in quality" to "MS have always under-performed". Neither is particularly positive for MS.

As i said, i do agree Sony have under-performed on the publishing front compared to last gen, but MS fit quite snugly in the same box.

Yeah, I can see that, but all Publishers in terms of quality has dipped. Sony was just worse imo. Also, another game I like, but forgot about was mondation racer. That was a fun karting game, but it didn't get a sequel because it didn't sell very well

I think the industry in general is finding it hard to improve upon to what the 7th generation offered. There's a lot less room for design improvement than there was last generation, so improvements have been fairly linear. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but it does make it a lot harder to create the kind of genre defining titles we frequently saw at the start of the 7th gen.

Ha, i'd totally forgotten about MNR. I remember being excited for it after having a lot of fun with LBP, but i never got around to playing. It released around the time i initially shifted over to PC gaming, so that might be why.
