Sure, go ask door by door. It'll be more productive than whining about MS on the interweb.

Fable: The Journey was a failure (but I still enjoyed it). Every game Sony released in 2012 was a failure. These things happen.

Bursting your Kinect bubble with numbers is whining ?

(and don't worry, I will not report you for that inaccurate, inflammatory 2012 generalization failure thing, you were upset I get it, these things happen)

How are you bursting my bubble? The Kinect has sold amazingly and continues to sell well. Deal with it.

Okay, I take it back. Everything Sony released in 2012 had poor sales except their annual baseball game. Their annual "copy-pasta" game. :-p

Then I realise: Microsoft is in a VERY GOOD situation: everybody is so pessimistic about them after all that Xbox One reveal disaster that there is no place to go but up.

Everything positive they say in E3 will sound like a uncanny blessing from the skyes.

Sony may profit from the MS mistakes, but, if the name of the game is profit, the future is also looking pretty good for MS.

Some of the hardcore gamers will jump ship to Sony, but the casual Call of Duty/Fifa gamers will embrace Xbox One like always, and they are strong in numbers, make no mistake. 

Also, the SUPER casual will flock like sheep to the Kinect 2, which is also a sure bet if you want to make a quick buck.

And, last, but not least, the NON-GAMERS will want the TV-Sports-Go-Home stuff, not all of them, but, enough to give MS another healthy source of income.

That said, MS may have angered SOME of the gaming comunity, but, profit is as sure as rain in the company future.

Everything positive they say in E3 will sound like a uncanny blessing from the skyes.

...I'm struggling to find a link between what was posted in the OP and discussing everything from motion-controlled games which bombed...

I think this is one of the main reason people talk about this DRM stuff this much - there is not much left to hate on.

Hmmm...one problem with MS game-wise is whatever game they show @E3 that is not exclusive, it is automatically advertising for the PS4 because of its raw power, it doesn't take anyone tech-savvy to know that game will be better on the PS4.

The xbox doesn't have the dev friendly advantage anymore or the year-early advantage. It is head to head.

The OP argued that casuals will come back for the Kinect 2, so kinect's viability into the next gen was questioned. I said it was momentarily successful, Pugs said it's still succesfull. The end.

Seriously, dude ? How about you take a look at the games in my sig. A damn good one and tell me how many of those follow the same old copy-paste, safe, do it by the numbers milking till it's dead strategy that games like Halo and COD followed this generation.

Does shadow fall look ANYTHING like past killzone games ? Have you EVER seen a game like Beyond or Knack ? Did GT happen to have 4 titles like Forza or 5 like Halo did this generation ?

I understand you are in the corner trying to defend the one but don't come to me telling me how different iterations of the SAME GO'DAMN game is what I should be happy with. It is really f****** patronizing.
