Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft might get away with weak hardware and still sell well because of other stuff and that makes me sad...

Man this site is full of some sad sad people.

Anyways, I'll be enjoying my Xbox One with its diverse exclusive list.

Thanks for great GAMES Microsoft.

Where did anyone say it never breaks?? he said 2 BRAND new ps2's had issues in the first month, sorry, considering his over the top anti sony posts, that's highly unlikely to be true. All electronics break.

 

If his first one dies in the first month, it would be covered under the in store warranty and for sure sony's........his story has holes.


The first one was brand new the 2nd was referbrished ( I got it referbrished because I didn't see the point in getting another new one if it could fail so quickly. they both disk read errored on me in under a month. Maybe I was just unlucky.

?? What? If the first one was a month old the store or sony would repair it for free.....And you thought a refurbished one wouldn't fail but another new one would?? Your story has holes the size of mount everest.


na, refurbrished is cheaper and I originally got a new one to avoid system failure. that didn't ammount tobeing worth the extra cash so I didn't splurge on another new console.

go back and read my reasoning about why the warranty thng does not apply to me.

First off, minor differences, not substantial.  Let's not stretch things more than they are or over react like people already have.

And i certainly dont think XBO will sell the most but I do want to show you this.

Wii - 100m sold
PS2 - 150m sold

Both were the weakest console.

Don't forget Dreamcast pls 


QFT.

 

I would personally argue how huge a factor GT3 (Gran Turismo 3, just to confirm that wasn't a typo) was in selling the PS2 on the basis there was nothing else like it on any other platform at the time.

Yes, I'm breaking the whole "PS2 only sold because of GTA and DVD" fourth wall... 


Personally I bought 2 PS2's and ONLY used it for GTA games. Why 2? (disk read error) why did I not end up playing other exclusives? (disk read error)

 

Both of my ps2 systems ended up with disk read errors in less than a month.....it was enough time to beat vice city and gta3 so I didn't buy anymore of those time bombs.

I find this hard to believe, and RROD says hi.

I bought 2 360's as well. I didn't get any of the launch games. when ever the elite came out is when I bought my 1st 360. it DID rrod on me but it took a year and a half before that happened. I was in no rush to buy another and got a slim a while ago and it doesn't seem liek it will be any problems.


Yeah, I bought two PS1 and three PS2 and two PS3's (it finally died early this year.  BC 80GB).  Why people don't believe Sony hardware could break is beyond me.  I have three 360's too.  It's just the world we live in.

I can vouch for this as someone who has had problems with all three PS consoles, I think RROD just happened let the PS3's problems slip under the radar and Sony got let off with a slap on the wrist this gen.

That being said, the PS2 outsold it's most relevant competitors by 6:1 or more, and the PS1's closest competitor was a console with no moving parts, they were kinda bound to take more heat by default, lol, I guarantee there would've been just as much of a backlash towards the Saturn and Dreamcast, especially the latter, if they sold in those quantities.

I just didn't understand what any of that had to do with the point I made in the first place, which was while it's true that THE most powerful console of the entire generation has never been the market leader per se, that doesn't mean that power hasn't mattered throughout previous generations.



Like I said in another thread this generation will be about people comparing 2 Victoria Secret models. U can nit pick al you want but you are still talking about Victoria Secret models.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

Sad you say? By their definition of gaming, gaming isn't possible if it's not on Playstation or even if it is it can't be fun or relevant. 

MS got away with being the only one to have an online service that required you to pay. I think they'll get away for some minor graphical resolution. 

People should stop acting like everybody will see a noticeable difference between the two, and thinking everyone has a tv that run 1080p visuals... this is getting beyond sadness it's not even funny.

I guess Xbox One owners will laugh about it whilst playing Ryse, Forza 5, Quantum Break, Halo 5 among other graphical impressive games. :)



If history is accurate, I'm pretty sure most gamers don't care that much about power, especially concerning the differences between the Xbone and PS4.

I hope you see the irony of your post...It works both ways, especially if you look at selnors post history lol. Every fanbase acts that way, don't pretend it doesn't. This thread alone is proof of that. Try to eb more objective.
