In your mind, what will the Xbox SX conference have to do to beat the PS5 conference?

Runa, Ok let’s climb off that high horse now. You can keep explaining the Xbox One gen till you are blue in the face. Doesn’t change the optimism me and many others share for the next gen. I’m not saying you should jump on the hype train, you clearly need to see the critical acclaim to be remotely swayed. That’s fine, but you saying it’s wrong to not prefer what you prefer with that kind of passion just doesn’t make you come off as well as you think. I explained myself, and I’m sure other Xbox fans have their motivations. We’re just excited that for the first time in years they seem to have their act together. Now you can accept that or be quiet. 

I think thats where he is getting at. While there are people like you out there and nobody should tell you what to like, and you can be as hyped as you want. Everyone has their preferences and thats fine. But you seem to think that there are a mass amount off people like you out there, while you are in fact in the minority. While again, thats also fair to be. You seem to be hyping up a past and possible future that most do not like and are looking at what MS has presented and could show in the july event with just mistrust, denial, pessimism or whatever else.

Well said. I choose to believe while I am a minority with my tastes I do not believe there’s not many other then me. By that I mean there are many out there that enjoy a variety of genres. Individually they are niche (the genres) but together it can add to something big if they do it right.

Also despite all that was said and how this gen went down, the XB1 will finish this gen with 50 million. That’s pretty respectable for such a disastrous start and lack of IPs. Compare it to other “failures” like WiiU, GameCube,  Xbox, hell even Nintendo 64 sold terrible compared to PS1 yet its praised to this day. They have imo the best services and play a near identical library as PS4, exclusives being the exception of course.

All they need is to advertise they have an edge on those multiplats which again are 90%+ of a consoles library. Which I think they are doing a good job and will hammer it further next month. And finally of course deliver on their own first party selection. Obliterate the notion that they only have the trinity. I’m tired of hearing that (it’s true) and hopefully next month will extend that list. It’s no small statement to say many like myself are getting tired of waiting and need that wow factor.
