Forums - Microsoft - Next Xbox Will Still Play Games Sometimes

JoeTheBro on 22 February 2013

The good thing is that Microsoft has its own production studio. Otherwise all of this content would be guaranteed on PS4 and smart tvs too. This is a gimmick and the only way it can do great is if that gimmicks exclusive.

Of course games will still be made, just not talked about in PR as much.

Microsoft has more first party developers than Sony. They will not forget about the games.


The difference here is Sony studios are working and putting out AAA Games the whole time.
I still don't see Rare doing stuff for Microsoft...oh they do..they waste their potential on Kinect like most of the developers.
Since 2008 Microsoft is relying on Halo,Gears and CoD.Of course it works but that is unique thing to the community and a lot of kid gamers who don't know there is something else(cause they never got something else) and want Military shooters.

For REAL Games of pure quality with a broad appeal and variety in genres over the whole Gen there is no way around the PS4.
Doesn't matter if Microsoft is working on 6 new IPs lol...Sony already showed more on the event and we know every 1st,2nd and close 3rd Party Developer is working on Pre/Sequels and new IPs exclusive for Sony right NOW.
And 3rd Party Multiplatdevs favor already now Sony...Bungie with Destiny for example aka the ones who are the reason Xbox is still around ;)
The change in architecture with the PS4 is the most important thing here cause they get everyone on their boat.Even people like Carmack are now on the side of Sony after all that hate on the PS3.

 

Rare is hardly wasting their potential with Kinect. The new developers at Rare have already shown us that they cannot live up to their name with the old IP's, so instead of further shitting on their legacy (Nuts & Bolts comes to mind) they are making highly successful Kinect titles. They are making the best of the situation.

 

"Since 2008 Microsoft is relying on Halo,Gears and CoD."

And yet, that is enough to maintain their sales headstart over the PS3? Do you realize how bad you make PS3 sound with that statement? Especially considering that PS3 actually has Call of Duty titles. Also love how you're implying that ignorant kid gamers is a significant group keeping the console alive, as if they are unique to the Xbox 360.

 

"1st,2nd and close 3rd Party Developer is working on Pre/Sequels and new IPs exclusive for Sony right NOW."

Yeah, and since Microsoft haven't revealed any content for their upcoming console yet there is no way in hell that the very same thing is happening to them right NOW. And how do you know that third party developers favor PS3 over Xbox 3? As far as we know Microsoft might have an even bigger list of supporting third party titles ready to be announced.

WOW lol you made my day.

First of all, presenting a 3rd game at Sony's meeting does NOT mean that it will be an exclusive (If you really believe that Diablo, Destiny or the next Final Fasntasy are exclusives; keep hoping dude and have fun dreaming )....

Second... Carmack being supporting of what Sony is doing with their next console does not mean that he has sided with Sony... Just agreeing with them and I'm pretty sure he will agree with Microsoft too... Care to explain where and/or when you saw any evidence of developpers/publishers "siding" with Sony?

Finally, it is okay (I would say even understandable) to do not like the majority of Microsoft's title and main genre (aka shooter). But Microsoft got a lot of exclusives and you must have missed this thread about the total of Sony/Microsoft exclusives but they are actually pretty even. Not liking the Microsoft ones will not make them disapear of the reality... The 360 has plenty of good games (as many as Sony with their PS3) and it will be the same deal with the next generation consoles (720/PS4 at least)...

This thread is just pointless... And this response was the most ridiculous.

Can someone please tell me since when it is a bad thing to deliver more entertainment apps than the competition?
Especially when you have more games (360 has more games than PS3) and more first party studios (MS has more first party studios than Sony) than the competitor.

I must have missed that.

after the xbox 720 reveal, even the most die hard of microsoft fans are going to have doubts.



NightDragon83 on 22 February 2013

So wait...

-Nintendo announces multimedia functionality like TVii and Miiverse and focuses on the touch-screen controller as more than just a new way to play games...

-Sony focuses like half their press conference on social networking and sharing everything you do with everyone as well as all the typical video and multimedia apps most electronic devices sport these days...

-and M$ are the ones who get all the flak for not having a strictly games-only machine???

Oh... and remind me who was the first major console manufacturer to include movie playback as one of their console's prime functions?

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

This response is a serious joke just like this thread, why would the die hard ms fan have doubts??

you know what I watched the Sony Presser and you tell me if Sony didn't spend like half of their presser on just social stuff!

I  have never used a device as much as I have used my XBOX in 5.5 years it has been sitting right beside my TV playing games, making me party up with my friends, letting me watch endless of movies/shows, letting me watch live sports, had a good chunk of laughter with the kinect(for better or worse), the best youtube videos, listening to music and you know what's so good about that? Its one freaking device!!! 

You could argue and say that PS does a lot of these things but it still doesn't justify your dumb comment above which is based on MS rumors
