Even with 95% of the problems fixed, I don't think MS will win for 2 simple reasons.

1) It gave MS a bad image as a console manufacturer, I have a lot of hardcore 360 supporters who just "gave up" on Microsoft.

2) It's still an inferior system to WiiU and PS4. $500 is too much, and with all units coming with Kinect, I can't see it being priced less then WiiU/PS4. Plus WiiU/PS4 have better exclusives, and overall, better games.

The damage has only been done for the first holiday which is sold out already. All consoles sell out at launch. As this generation moves along people won't even be talking about this anymore. It will be all about the games. I'll be surprised if people are still talking about this by launch. PS4 most likely just lost the US if they already had it. MS will not give up that stranglehold.

You are joking, right?

No, it's still expensive as hell and the announced games are too generic.

There are a lot of COD gamers in America. I met multiple people who told me they only purchased a PS3 because of free online. Now that both online services cost money there will be a lot of people who go with Xbox. Xbox One will have the superior online service. 300,000 servers can't be argued with

You don´t really know what generic means right?

No me and many others will never trust them again. No more Xbox for me.

Who knows?

The marketing is shrinking but Sony was a good position because they had a chance to cannibalize the MS market.

Now it seems that we are going to a similar XBox One / PS4 install base size again, now even Nintendo is back the race because so far MS and Sony are not going after the Nintendo market, hence Nintendo is not affected to MS move like Sony *in theory* was.

Nintendo's market = Sony and Microsoft market + some others. so nintendo's market is bigger tha  the others, but it's not exactly "different".

No it doesn't. Once you connect to the internet to download the day one patch It's gone. Offline mode is there.



It's just that simple.
