But I do like where Xbox seems to be heading. Seems like this happens every gen. A company does well, gets cocky, goes away from consumer and more corporate. The losers become better for consumer. I'm seeing that right now with PS and Xbox.

Beyond the price, the Xbox has become a very appealing system, imo.

A place without AAA exclusives?

Where focus isnt on big story driven single player games?

Where to get single player games, they ll be released in small bite sizes, on a net flix like subscription required thingy?

Where what sells their console seems to be reliant almost intirely on 3rd party multiplats? that run a tiny bit better than the PS4pro?

 

Imo Xbox is not heading in a good direction. I was surprised by your words, most people seem pretty worried about its future.

 

proof? look at all the threads about Microsofts E3 this year, on VGCz, Neogaf and the like :

"I'm starting to give up on Phil Spencer..."

"I thought the Xbox show was fine, despite things missing. I'm a little worried though"

I was talking about all things excluding games. Game devs make games for whatever platform, regardless if it is littered with DRM, has trophies/achievements, million gigs of ram or 2 gigs, 4k or 720, 30fps or 60fps, ect.

It's up to Sony/Nintendo/MS to give developers a platform to make games on. When the PS4 was announced and the xbox one was announced, the PS4 was 1000000% for the gamers and consumers and the Xbox one was totally not. IF I were to judge hardware right now, I woudl say Xbox One is better for the future of gamers and consumer than teh PS4. They seem to be more consumer friendly. NOthing about games. Xbox feels more free and open and willing to do things. PS4 seems to again be in the "We're the leaders and can do whatever we want" stage.

The reason PS4 shot out the gate huge back when it launched was not because it had a remasterd Last of Us, or whatever pathetic lineup all system launches all have, it was becuase they owned MS in the consumer friendly sounding device. MS came out with all these "can't share games, can't do this, can't do that, ect. Basically a huge DRM ridled box" As your excel sheet shows, they had more of those "new IP games" back then. But that doesn't matter when your buying into some closed off scary ecosystem. The refusal to purchase a One was more out of protest for their horrible corporate decisions over the games. I'm now seeing the PS4 go back into that attitude they had when the PS3 launched.
