When Phil Spencer announced a bunch of cool market stuff for Xbox One known or such as Gamepass, external HDD support, Xbox Games with Gold and backward compatibility, these features in fact... caused the console wars lmao |
Indeed, marketing stuff as if it was new and something special and exclusive.
HDMI, first 360s didn't have HDMI, I had to use component cables at first for the 360. Plus 360 had an annoying gamma adjustment in the signal making everything have black crush. The only generation where I needed separate tv settings for different consoles. (dunno if fixed with XOne, don't have it)
Kinect, the new eye-toy.
Games with gold, ps+ on ps3.
External HDD support, ps2 expansion bay.
Gamepass, extension of ps+ basically
Cloud nonsense.
BC as old as dirt, only became relevant when ps4 didn't have it lol.
Smart delivery, just a new name for cross-buy.
MS fired up the console wars by hammering on specs and features instead of games. Before XBox entered the scene console 'wars' were mostly about which (exclusive) games were better. Nowadays it's all fapping over specs.
7th gen became the war of the features. Browsers, music/video apps, friends lists, party chat and other crap. Nowadays more and more often I simply disable the network connection so I can play a game in peace.
