EU has always been Sony land. XBO being even more expensive does not help either.

So?   USA was Xbox land and look how that's turning out now..


Calm down, the gen has just started and many things are going to shape the sales and scoop of this gen.

I am calm, you basically just said my point again. That things are not set in stone and can change in an instant. Much like a sure win for Xbox in the US is now a 50/50 shot.



That Kinect lol........pretty much did the opposite of what MS wanted.

Drives up the price, and makes language localization in non-english speaking countries a nightmare, which explains why it isn't released in the majority of Europe, or the rest of the world.

My only hope is that MS pulls a Sony and gets a epiphany and gets shit right the next gen. In the meantime, Halo will still tide me over.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I Think you are correct but I'm sure they will work things out. It's only a matter of time. The games for kinect need to come out swinging to make it worth it. They where looking to cash in on the Casuals and I'm not sure how it will turn out. Not having Kinect sports launch with the system was a total blunder.

Oh they will iron out the kinks, but we ain't going to see 360 lifetime numbers. This is me talking: no amount of 90+ meta kinect only games will make it worth it. Casuals are fickle on pricing and seeing Kinect for $150 or $299 console bundle is more attractive then a $499 console bundle.

And lets be honest, kinect sports launching with the X1 wasn't going to help us win any arguments on the forums ;P.
