Forums - Gaming - Microsoft: “Everybody Knows” PS3 “Isn’t as Good of an Entertainment Console” as Xbox 360

I've said this before, but I think Microsoft is poised to take a bit of a tumble next generation.

I think so, too. The third console curse lives!

never noticed that until you said it just now, but you're right.  Of course 4th consoles don't look much better with Gamecube and Dreamcast so hopefully Sony can avoid that type of failure...although they made pretty much every mistake in the book with the PS3 launch so it can't get much worse than 90 million + for them it seems.

its this way at the end of each generation. the victor becomes arrogant and proceeds to fail on the following gen. only exception to this rule was the ps2.

Except that it's not Nintendo being arrogant here. ;)

Either way, no company is innocent of it, but these remarks show more of this guy's own personal issues than Microsoft as a whole. 

yeah what the hell MS is going to be 3rd yet they're still arrogant lol

Oh well can't say i'll be sad when they fall on their face it's not like anyone will weep when their cash reserves shrink to just 100 gagillion if nextbox fails

I really don't know how people take Microsoft seriously sometimes.

I think Sony cares about the gamer much more than Microsoft ever has.

On the theory that 0.01% > 0.001%?


He's kinda right. Sony takes far more risks with games, and creates far more than Microsoft would ever think to create. Their mind marketwise is squarely on the avid gamer and that can help but it can also hurt on a massive scale.


Yeah but when you task risks and don't follow up with money and marketing you become a murderer. What is the kill count on studios Sony has put down over the past few years?

But hey as long as some fan boys can say we have more games then you every thing is OK. I am never seen a fan base of anything brag about something and not buy it as much as Sony fans do.


Yes but in the eyes of of most core gamers on the PS3 Sony is a godsend. They never leave the avid gamer hanging.



Sounds to me like these guys are getting scared. They're about to slip into 3rd place sometime this year for the current gen consoles. And Sony is getting massive hype for the PS4, while it's mostly quiet in terms of the NeXbox, even though they are both launching this year. They also know they aren't getting a year or so headstart, one that was coupled with a $200 price advantage for ~3 years. Japan is going to ignore the NeXbox and the majority of EU may do the same, as well. All these point to a pretty big uphill battle for MS.

Is that so, well games are a form of entertainment and PS3 has (imo) better games.
Not only that but PS3 also has Blu ray and 7.1 surround sound. Further more netflix and other services don't require you to pay a fee on top of a fee on the playstation.

And with playstation if you do pay a yearly fee you get access to dozens of games available to download at no extra cost, far better value for money than XBL.

As part of his talk on how the 360 has transitioned “from a gaming console to an entertainment console”

Oh, I see. It's not that they don't have any games this year. It's that they've transitioned away from having any games.

Ah yes, too good for games. You console peasants should be thankful. "Grow up"

....is what MS is telling you. "Watch netflix"



A couple more Kazatars should fix this problem.
