Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Wii U beating Xbox One even after price drop! What happened to the 360 fans?

Microsoft lacks a clear vision for their console. They don't know how to market it themselves. They had something in mind, but we all know how that turned out. Right now, the X1 became PS4 with less power for the same price. PS4 has better multiplats and apart from Halo, the first party titles are also more popular. Sure, that's a question of taste, but PS exclusives are usually more critically acclaimed and have pretty large fanbases.

So, in the end, it comes down to this: Microsoft screwed up big time.

About a month ago I made a post listing something around 10-15 reasons the Wii U had more to look forward to than the Xbox One did. Of course I got blasted for it because it wasn't the obvious answer and a lot of it was speculation/argumentative, but the list was pretty solid.

The Xbox really only has one big thing going for it, it's an american company. Thus why it does even better than the PS4 in the the US.

Just wanted to say basically that this isn't coming out of left field, this was straight down the middle. Of course it will still have an audience in America, and Microsoft will still shovel money into third party exclusives like they always do, but I'm fairly certain that this is Microsoft's last generation. They are the last of the big three I would invest money into.

Price is a big issue with loyalty. See PS3.

I felt pretty burned after last year's E3. By then I had already developed more interest in PC gaming and returning to a Nintendo console.

i think what saved ps3 was loyalty. and the lack of internet of course

Buying a system for "brand loyalty" is stupid
