Xbox's lack of compelling games won't be fixed in 2018 [Endgadget]

Fortunately for Sony they have locked up 3rd party marketing for years to come. So all the hammering about power won’t mean much except for the same fan base that already had Xbox to begin with. The rest of the world will continue on with PS4 and Nintendo as the front runners of this gen. 

This gen is closer to the end than it is to the beginning. MS is doing good work with the XBox One X, their strategy should be from now on to never allow Sony to ever out power them again. They have the money/engineering to do so, they never ever should've released an XBox One that handed over the technical superiority to the PS4 AND was more expensive on top of that. 

I think they have learned that though. XBox needs to be the no.1 go to brand for multiplats and XBox One X is the correct step in that direction. They need to have the best hardware. 

The Xbox One X created yet another hurdle for Microsoft. You see, on a strategic level, the Xbox One X created a hurdle that will slim over the performance gap between this generation and the next. If Microsoft wants success, they will have to accept that unless their next console (which should be announced next year in 2019) will not be that much of a leap over the X. Sony will have to accept this as well...and they both will just have to focus on making games. If Microsoft is thinking clearly, this is where they will need an A game.
