| thismeintiel said: MS ≠ Xbox. Not only do they have to answer to investors, but there are also people within the company that probably don't see Xbox as a main focus. They tried to spend their way to victory this gen, it didn't work. It's obvious they are going to give it a big push for next gen, as they are already talking about their next gen HW and bought a few studios. However, if things turn out like this gen, they will do the same thing, lower the funding to the Xbox division about halfway through. Then how do you explain their funding of XBOX 360 exclusives and marketing campaigns,they didn't answer the losses in XBOX Original & XBOX 260 to their investors. MS is a pretty powerful and profitable company so they can afford all this without any investor problems Really, as long as Sony follows the path they did this gen, which all signs point to them doing so, they will win next gen, too. They have a nice footprint in Japan, and Europe is lovingly call PS Land. Even with the missteps they took with the PS3, they easily won Japan and EU, when it came to the 360. Hell, they even beat the Wii in EU, and only came in ~2M behind it in Japan. This gen they strengthened their holds there, while MS weakened them. And with a $399-$449 PS5 on the way, I think they will strengthen them even more. i agree totally but the other guy was first saying that they should relax.They will have to be alert and get everything right not like PS3 when they just relaxed after PS1 & PS2 success |
