| BraLoD said: Honestly it's surprising how the PS4 is still doing so well right into a new system first steps. If I remember it well, the XBO S made the PS4 drop some places but still in the top 20, and now an entirely new system, which is doing well on it, still can't take it out of the top 10. Seems like people just won't stop buying PS4s anytime soon, lol. Well, the lineup this year up until now has been amazingly well received. |
Well the Switch is in the unique position where it can exist alongside the PS4 ("I want the Switch for exclusives and certain multiplats to be portable") and not just compete ("I want the exclusives and prefer portable x, y, z"). I can see many PS4 and PC owners getting the Switch to go with their current systems. The Xbox One, because microsoft has so gutted it's exclusives coming up and made it so nearly all exclusives come out on PC as well, has been completely devestated in terms of its complimentary potential and now must compete head on with PS4 and PC mainly on the multiplat front. The Scorpio is their desperate effort to get that back but I think they will be disappointed. Cause it's the PS4 brand the ecosystem people are buying in to. It being more powerful was a useful marketing tool early on but is now more or less a side benefit. I honestly think MS is in for a refresher course of the lesson they had to learn the hard way back in the 6th gen: just being more powerful, even by a significant margi, won't help you if your brand and ecosystem are less desirable.
