So, is MS doomed?

They are saying that due to the many failings of the hardware, MS has been on a total rampage trying to pay 3rd Parties NOT to show their games on PS4....even tho they are. To try and turn the perception that XBO has more games than PS4. If so, I feel like MS has reached a new low. Too bad many of the games shown will be exclusives :P |
That's a pretty common business practice. Companies from all over the world do similar stuff practically every day. Not that I endorse this mind you but it doesn't surprise me at all. MS, Sony and Nintendo have probably done something similar in the past.
Nintendo and PC gamer

close to nothing - they will have to sort out the bad chips and wait, till the manufacturing-process ripens. It will cost them, that's all (in my opinion).

Don't take GAF so serious - there are as many idiots as here (in relation of course - there are of course many more idiots at GAF because they have way more users).

Many want them to, but I don't think so.

This yield rumor is old...
Microsoft has one thing Sony lacks right now and that is CASH. I wouldn't be so quick to discredit them even though I'll be going PS4 next gen.

This is not to be confused with them paying to show the games at their conference. They are litterally paying for them to not mention or show PS4 footage in their own booths. Its sounding like many companies are turning them down tho for the simple fact...
-PS4 version is the best looking, most attractive versions
-Strong chance of XBO Delay due to manufacturing issues. Meaning that would give way for larger PS4 userbase.
-General bad press about XBO
360 only had that advantage over PS3 because of the head start and difficulties developing on PS3. Neither of those benefits will be present this time around so the only thing they have left is the money......which can only be taken so far before companies realize they are hurting their own sales potential.

I think it is too funny how you guys want the Xbox One to be delayed.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
