The forecast for Xbox after E3 will be mighty good.


They should at least address the backlash from last years console reveal and drm rubbish. I think if they legit admitted that they fucked up pretty badly before talking about any new ideas then maybe a few people could forgive the last years Reveal and E3 fallout. I'm personally far too wary of it being swept under the carpet without a word, doesn't take much to lift a carpet lol.

Adress the backlash? Hasn't Phil talked about it enough?

I'd rather them talk about games than past features that won't return to X1.

Even just a single "please understand" would do me :D

They have talked about it constently, how is it they no Sony fan heard this at all?

These people act like last gen didn't happen.
If they did they would be worried for XB1 future exclusive line up, Even this year is looking sort of sparse, 4 maybe 5 exclusive triple A's?
Just because XB1 had 3 launch exclusives vs 2 PS4 Launch exclusives and im deliberately not counting Resogun, now it looks like XB has more of exclusive focus than PS? Get your head out of #the_cloud. I've got 9+ years on PS3 that says otherwise, hell persona 5 is going PS3, hopefully ported to PS4, like P4Golden was to Vita

I understand your view point though, to the Xbox Faithful, it must look like they are really trying, but I'm sorry Xbox is late to the party. No way in hell, they are catching up to PS4 by giving free games away on 360 and TitanFall Lol...

Its not impossible, but XB1 has never been first and it looks like this time around they have to fight to just get the uk and us back


However none of MS's big hitters have launched yet. Accept titanfall. Halo, gears, Quantum Break and many games are yet to come.

Well, last gen even though the ps3 had less sales in both the US and UK, it has still slipped past the x360 in sales. I dont think winning a single region or only English-speaking countries will be even close to enough for the x1. And lets face it, the ps4 vs x1 battle is neck and neck in both these areas. 

Those 2 regions are the ones where most games and other medium sales happen.

Also where there are more console online gaming subscribers reside. Where consumers have more will to buy services.

I think MS will be pretty happy with those 2 and a bit of South America.

Well, that might work for MS if they managed to get a comfortable lead in in sales in both those places, like they did with the x360. But this time its much closer round in both those areas and I dont see the x1 building a significant enough lead as you are suggesting. For the same reason, they will get considerably less profit this time around as the greater competition for these markets will likely see them cutting prices and spending more.

Thats not gonna work this time. They need more.

360 had big hitters too. But it also had a year lead, a price lead, multiplat lead, and a dev lead for much of its life. With all of that it pretty much took US and UK.

X1 has none of those advantages. Sure its the best selling xbox or fastest selling or w.e, but right now its barely in a better position then the OG Xbox.

"Accept titanfall"? That's the gotg you talkin bout there. What could those other games hope to do, that titanfall has not?

But seriously, the Xbox One is an awesome console and does a lot of things right. When more people see what it can do, more people will want one. Not on PS4 levels but it should do well.

Issue is it does nothing great and does very little just right.  No one actually knows what it is first its a always online something ohh crap media public hate us flip flop now its a basic media box / 2nd game console ohh shit the gamer console is kicking our ass now we say its a core gamer console.  MS does not know wtf they are doing with it, they are flipflopping to fit what they think will sale and are failing as they lack one single vision to push.

I try to be "middle of the road" but when I see posts like this, I have to speak up. The fact of the matter is, in my house, the Xbox One is used daily and my PS4 is virtually untouched.  Maybe it's doing "nothing great" but for my money, it delivers.  I'm still waiting for my PS4 to wow me (sorry, Second Son ain't tickling my vagina...).  For me, the PS4 didn't live up to the hype while the Xbox One has me staying up 'til 4am playing it.

Try it and maybe you'll agree.  Maybe you won't.  At least you'll be speaking from experience.

What is that sentence in relation to? Me? Or are you actually wondering why fans of Sony are not watching Microsofts PR announcements? Might as well ask why Vegans don't keep up to date on new Recipes for cooking beef, the answer is in the question.

Meh, Xbone is done as soon as all 4 of Uncharted, GT7, FFXV and MGS5 are out. GT7 FFXV and MGS5 ensures at least 10m+ advantage in Japan, whilst the combination help secure America, and GT7 puts the nail in the coffin in regards to Xbone and Europe.

FF15 and MGS 5 are both onn XB1 in EU and US. And in US Halo will be a bigger factor along with Gears Of War. I think after E3 people will take MS seriously n new ips and exclusives.
