Yeah, it would be the Megadrive/Genesis 32X situation all over again. Consumers where wary after that and waited before buying the Saturn in the west, leading to the failure of that system outside of Japan. On the other hand the main problems of the XBO are elsewhere: lack of power and compelling exclusives for Europe and to a lesser degree NA, lack of jrpg's and other japanese titles for Japan and their Gamepass concerning retailers. An Xbox Next with good exclusives will sell the hardware - if the retailers will stock it. |
Xbox Games Pass is a strength, not a problem.
I doubt a few small independent stores in the UK, and Gameware in Austria is much of a problem really. Austria is dominated by playstation, its not like Xbox had has much of a presence in Mainland Europe.
Infact, I think the underlying reason for the delisting is poor xbox sales, because I bet this wouldnt had happened if Sony had the game pass.
Bet with Intrinsic:
The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
