No, it doesn't. For the Xbox One, sure. But for the overall game market it's more like 35-40%, with Europe being another 30-35%.
And that's if we don't count mobile games, arcades, etc.

Lol, microsoft has xbox music, and xbox video, but thats not even the services i meant, Hulu, HBO go, showtime, alot of network programs fron fox, nbc and cw. heck if you check urself there are more apps on Xbox one than ps4. Even services like EA access too! Dont get me started on psNow even sony fanboys say its a joke. Have you seen the prices??
Tell me one, JUST ONE, platform that allowed you to play 4 games, all on one disc, 100+ multiplayer maps, 4000 gamerscore, and with two of the 4 games being upgraded from their original version. comes with a beta 1 year in advance of release of the next in the series. and a free full produced show. |
Then clarify by saying Microsoft depends more on others to provide a wider range of services. Which should be obvious given the original focus of the VCR1 was to be a cable box first, game machine second. HDMI pass through says hello to that. What's funny is that all of those network programs you mentioned are available on Hulu lol. So they've made most apps redundant by having all these same programs available from a single app. I have browsed the app store on X1. It's pretty pathetic both ways - neither console offers more than a handful of apps right now. I will give you one key app X1 has secured - EA Access. But that's catch 22 and goes back to my first sentence - It's because they have ALLOWED more apps on their platform. I'm sure you'll still be bragging when Activision, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Take Two and the rest of the publishers each have their own service too.
But yeah, PSNow is overpriced, agreed. It's also available on non gaming consoles which makes it far more justifiable on those other devices. Pay a premium to stream a game, but no overhead of having to purchase the console before hand. I think that's the market they're going for.
There's one single game in that, Halo 2 that actually got some attention to detail. H1A was already released. They simply rebundled the first 4 games in the series, you make it sound like a godsend yet the multiplayer didn't even work out of the box. I still hear the ranking system is non existant, is that true?

Yeah, you're wrong there too. Sonys major profits comes from insurance.
If they cared about any other markets than the US and UK they would have bothered to cut the price somewhere else.
Microsoft is fighting an uphill battle. Our Government foreign policy, with spying on Allies put alot of American technology companies in a very bad light.
If I remember correctly, Most of Apples biggest losses in litigation came in German courts.

I do hope they do turn this policy around, and start offering better deals to other countries too.

bruh H1A did not have 4 games, this one does.
You said everythings already been done, i say Halo MCC is one of a kind. period.
But yes, i meant features. The ps4 is an amzing device, shareplay is awesome. but again through monthly updates the xbox has had more features.
One clear one is voice commands. 50+ to approx 15...

Sony just realized PR saying their gonna focus the most of their resources on gaming. phone lost money, pc lost money, tv lost money...
By my math the ratio is 4:1, not 5:1.
But yeah, still pretty bad.

Oh, MS wants your money, that's not the issue. It's just that the amount of advertising and marketing needed to recover would probably outpace actual profit from sales.
Honestly, the UK and the USA have always been their bread and butter, and I think they are content with those two.
