Forums - Microsoft - If Microsoft ends up winning with the less powerful, more expensive console, what's left?

It'll be ps4 then x1 then wiiu. The ps4 and x1 will probably become close just like the 360 and ps3 did

Threads like these make the entire Microsoft fanbase look bad.



They shouldn't let children on the internet, because; We get this



this whole thing has been hilarious



Define "winning". If it means ps2 era domination, we're not going to see that again for a long time. No matter what happens, both consoles will co-exist successfully. PS will almost always win a close battle though simply because there are a lot more countries where it's brand is relevant whereas xbox is only really popular in English speaking countries. It also doesn't help that most of it's extra features are tailor-made for a U.S. audience

Uuuuhhh...

You know what, screw it. I'll play along. Considering that the PS3 came back after possibly the worst start in console history the Xbox One can come back. It's really not likely but it is possible.

As far as what would happen? Lots of boasting from MS fans I'm sure. I'm not really sure what else.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

With the way PS4 has taken off, it doesn't look like it will. BUT if Xbox One does win it will be because of the $1 Billion that they invested in Exclusive ( or X1 and PC ) Core Games that Sony and Nintendo weren't reportedly able to match, and if they do win due to the strength and amount of core games on their system, it's a good thing.


Sony don't need to match the 1 billion, sony has a way more effective strategy in hiring good people and building their own studios................... Not renting them like MS.


Yeah, but how many are they going to have?  The people I've been listening to

(  

 

say  that Sony's just not in the same financial position that they were in with PS3 to keep throwing Exclusive after Exclusive out to hopefully see if anything will stick these days.  Meanwhile Titanfall the Biggest Exclusive of the Next 6 Months or until Halo 5 comes out is on the way to Xbox One.

But it's not even exclusive. Even so if by that you mean not on a PS conole then I would say InFamous Second Sons is looking like it won't be that far behind TF. I think people are overestimating both TF and Halo 5 as potential game changes in the PS4 v Xb one stakes. They are important for Xb one to keep the momentum it's built up so far. But that's about as far as it goes. Without those 2 games Xb one would be seriously bereft of much appeal to gamers, and I think a substantial proportion of current sales can already be attributed to those games.

As to the OP, if Knack bundle in UK is the only evidence for a possible reversal of fortunes then that's no evidence at all.

I think you might be remembering history a bit wrong. It sold nearly 8m in it's first full year on the market. That's not amazing but it did better than the 360 in 2006, and it doubled the WiiU in 2013. Nowhere near the "worst start in console history".

It did sell quite well but I wasn't really talking about sales. It launched a year late, with a price that was much too high, and it was being marketed by the terrible Sony PR circa 2006. There were several very good reasons the PS3 should have come last, but it didn't.

Usually consoles lose when they have numerous deficiencies and/or no support from developers. PS4 currently has everything going for it so I don't really see a possibility for it to lose.
