My opinion on the hatred.

X360 being in the lead for much of the 7th generation after Sony made mistakes with PS3.  They were in direct competitions and sony fans took a lot of heat in PS3 early years.  
Microsoft focused on Kinect for the later years of the 7th generation and ignored core games.
Xbox One DRM.  Now its the cool thing to ridicule it whether it be about 720p or how evil they are.

Much of it is console war propaganda.

I can certainly say that this is def not said at all.  Most people i know including xbox fans does not think Xbox One is going to take this generation.  And there certainly is negative comments in this thread from regulars of this thread.

I think ps fans are bitter from 7th Gen definitely. They're also bitter because this gen it looked like ps4 would decimate but Xbox removed DRM and got a lot of fans back. Either way it's an endless circle because now Xbox fans are bitter and if Xbox ever reclaims the throne they're going to hate on ps fans causing them to be bitter again. Rinse and continue. 



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion

I certainly dont think theyre bitter about this gen.  There is plenty of reasons to gloat right now 2:1 right now.  I do however agree with you that if Xbox somehow ever became in the lead that xbox fans would have plenty of hatred as well.

Promising.

Sadly that's as high as they will go. I now expect mid-80's.

Reviewers do seem (anecdotally) to be pretty harsh this generation relative to the last.

Or perhaps they were too kind last generation.

Sometimes I feel that people in here (Empire) know more their gaming history, more about how businesses work and are less emotional about console makers than the average forum dwellers. Where has this "entitlement" for gaming is coming from exactly? I may have missed something?!?

Negativity and disagreement about MS is not really in here. If you are negative about it you will not fit into the group. So of course most emotions are like, "Hell, yeah, brotha," "The X1 can take this gen still," and "Halo is the best game ever." The kind of peace not every MS gamer wants. So it takes very little reasoning to figure out why it is so less emotional place because people politely agree.

Halo sucks compared to gears :p. I'm 99 percent certain no one has said any of those besides maybe halo

I just used the quickest example of generic common themes I picked up when I occasionally read the thread. I could probably come up with at least 5-10 themes I see whether they be completely correct, or not.

Really looking forward to see what MS will do with Forza commercials here and if they will once again fail hard or have a decent sized TV campaign like they should have or even need.

Cloud Dev guy talking more about his game

We will be able to share more about our project next year hopefully. Currently planning final platforms, developement schedule and overall business decisions. This is all I can say for now.

XBO exclusive or not. This is the only platform decision open right now. Heavy Azure usage.

Exactly this is the plan.

 

Planning final platforms but then says Xbox One is the only platform decision open right now? Lol definetely isn't Cloudgine with Crackdown then. Either way, sounds like it will be Xbox One exclusive


could be pc as well then
