Didn't read the entire thing. All I know is, if the PS4 wins next generation, the few remaining Xbox fans may be exterminated from this site.

Well that is up in the air. Because the main reason why the xbox numbers are so few (in our own geographical turf no less) is because MS stopped with the core exclusives relative to Sony.As long as they hold NA and they pump out more exclusives on a constant basis, they will garner a respectable following, regardless what PS4 has sold globally.

Besides, if WiiU doesnt improve, then 2nd place will have to do for Xbox if anything, certainly a respectable position.



I'm not sure if the Microsoft's strategy will be too different from this gen. You better hope so though, for your sake.

The circle is complete! (all three threads are made now)

Well done!

I see the PS Nation thread...wheres the Nintendo thread?



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

I take the blame for this thread.


Sales2099, I can see this situation is already beginning to get to you.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

I think it all comes down to the $100-$50 price cut that never happened. Exclusives aren't the issue, paying for Live is not the issue either. It all comes down to the system pricing imo. The PS3 and the Xbox are otherwise too similiar to point to any other cause.

Most casuals only care about the big titles (your Call of Duties, Battlefield, Assassins Creed, Grand Theft Auto, racing games, sports games, ect.), and many "hardcore" gamers like myself predominantly play the big third party games as well (at least for me I would have only maybe 1-2 exclusive games in my top 10 list this generation). Exclusives outside of mega huge franchises (Halo, Gran Turismo, God of War, Gears) are not great justifications to buy one console over another generally ... doesn't make sense to buy a console for just one game unless you are a die hard fan that has to play it.

The Xbox should really be at $250 or $200 for the model with the hdd/kinect and $199 or $150 for the 4 gig model. The PS3 can justify the higher price point with a larger hdd and a bluray player built in. The Xbox can not.

Sounds like my usual day at the job, sitting around on VGChartz, lol.

 

The adjustments were completely out of the blue and a welcome sight. The numbers needed updating in the worst way.

It took me a while to "get" you, Sales, but now I actually find your posts quite amusing and inoffensive. This one made me smile, thanks!
