But I will answer afew of your debates, because why not. 1st) I suggest you look up MS more often, they work globally with a lot of teams for building and futuring there products etc. They have an amazing research centre I suggest you read up on it.

Again using "potential" to dispute actual results. In case you don't know they all have teams working or future projects and initiatives. Doesnt change the fact that MS are late to the party every single time. More a big deal when you consider that they usually are actually ahead of the curve on the components that actually go into making those innovations. Its like having the right screwdriver to take out a screw but not thinking to use it.
| Azzanation said: 2nd) MS makes money off Steam, hence why MS actually releases and publishes there very own games on Steam. So if that's the slap in the face for MS than there doing pretty good. There negatives still make them money.

At least you agree its a negative. MS can make money off steam. That was not the point, the point was that if MS was as forward thinking as you think steam, android, playstation....etc wouldn't even exist. Hell it took them 18yrs to realize that having a good amount of first party studios to make exclusives for your platform to help differentiate it from the competition was important? With all the money and resources they have.........
| Azzanation said: 3rd) Hmm so globally is all about Europe and Japan to you? How about majority of the English speaking countries? I can see MS taking control in majority of those places (If they do this right of course) and who even knows if Sony can afford to expand PSNow to the rest of the world? We know Azure is already world wide, Yes including low gaming market countries and they already have the foundations like GamePass and Play-Anywhere available for it so I am basing this off potential and there infrastructure. |
NA
PS4: 28M
XB1: 24M
ROW
PS4: 63M
XB1: 16M
Thats how you should look at it. Why? Because games are not movies. English speaking has absolutely zero relevance here.
And there you go again...... potential.
| Azzanation said: I am also not against PSNow, I think its doing great but I wont go as far as calling it the Netflix of gaming, neither is xCloud.. not yet. I would rather wait and see before writing articles calling it The Netflix of Gaming because MS mentioned Netflix in a recent article. But I am not you, you do you, I do me. You can call it what you want. |
I am not calling PSnow netflix of gaming. I am saying that for MS t describe themselves as such is premature and baseless especially when right now their direct competitor actually has more of a right to even use such a monicker.
I am saying that of the two companies sony is closer to calling themselves the netflix of gaming than MS. And this is going off the current state of both their services.
I am saying that MS coming out and saying nonsense like that is just typical PR hyperbole. Kinda like saying the most powerful console in the world (duh you are cming a year later and for $100 more of course you will be more powerful). At least their console claim was true and real..... their netflix claim is based on nothing.
