They realized how fucked up their system would be with their original ideas that they were forced to release something more consumer friendly.


Yeah, I guess but their vision was correct.  Digital gaming is getting to the point of the norm now.  They were just too forward with it.

I agree that eventually games will be digital and no physical copies but the world wasn't ready for it yet.  I don't see this future till 2 more generations myself but it could happen next generation.

It has been nice. Microsoft is not evil like most people claim on internet forums. Even if you hate Microsoft, you can't deny they have had one heck of a comeback. Yes, they will lose worldwide in console sales but even Microsoft knows that. They never had a chance worldwide. But they have listened to their fans and gave them what they want. Price cuts, world class exclusives, monthly updates, etc. I'm proud to support the platform. I'm going to be buying my 3rd Xbox One this Xmas for me and the wife's bedroom. Thank you Microsoft.


MS never had a chance? I'm pretty sure they had every chance. Considering how cocky they were with their anti consumer ideas and how a boat load of people on here and elsewhere tipped them to dominate, I'd reckon a lot of people don't agree with you. 

I'm sure you are proud to support them but thankfully a lot haven't because those are the people who have made it better for you. And why have you got 3 X1's? I can't imagine buying 3 PS4's. I'd spend the money the other 2 would cost on games. Would you not do the same?

Why do you think I have no games if I buy a third Xbox one????  I have too many games. I buy 3 xboxes because I can. Simple. 

Where did I say you don't have games? I don't know your situation. I think it's overkill because the money I could spend on 2 more PS4's I'd spend on games instead. I've a huge PS4 library but I buy all digital so I'm never gonna need more than one to play. I could buy 10 PS4's easily but i won't. Each ot their own I suppose, because I won't spend another 800$ just so I can play my console in diff room of the house.

Nope. I will have 3 Xbox Ones in my home soon. I don't own multiple platforms. Don't have the time. Had a ps4 and sold it and I have no interest in Nintendo. 3 xboxes. I have my white Xbox one in the family room, my black Xbox one in my man cave, and I will be buying a third for the bedroom. Wanna play Xbox when I wake up? Done. Wanna play Xbox in the man cave after work when the kids are asleep? Done. Wanna play Xbox in my big ass recliner in the family room? Done. I love the ecosystem and I'm investing in it for this gen. Not overkill. It's just because I want to. 

The diff between my situation and yours is, I walk 30 feet from any point in my house at anytime and play my PS4. That saves me 800$ and the exercise is good! But each to their own. If you're a happy camper, then that's all that matters.

I see it happening with this generation.  25% of games sold are digital.  What do you think the % will be in a couple of years?



its pretty fun actually when i open this page it showed the nokia lumia add

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

What comeback ? especially game wise. 

To most a comeback means to come from behind and win, X1 is not going to win sales wise over PS4 not by a long shot. And one month small sales win in one market really is no come back.  So there is no comeback, truthfully they gained temporary relevance and positivity, they are still light years from a real comeback.

Yes, Congrats MS! For doing your job..



There's an expression I enjoy regarding unmatched chickens and counting them. It applies well here. Regardless, I hope all consoles sell well and that the good sales don't encourage greed among devs. That is all!



One day Microsoft will change the world

If we're going to use dreaded sports analogy, this would be like a basketball game where PS4 is up 40 points and MS scores 10 unanswered. They're still down 30 points so, why are we celebrating?

It makes no sense lol.
