Some have Sony bias, some have MS bias, some have Nintendo bias, some tell it how it is, some are angry at everything and some see good in eveything that is about games.

Bias in the industry sure. But media on the whole biased against Xbox One, no.



What else ?

Lol crazy how y'all people are going so far having Xbox One play victim.

It's just a machine. PS4 has critics too even more vocal about it since it has 50% marketshare. Wii U got lambasted for the entirety of its run. The ache for y'all to feel sorry about this is disturbing.

This.

They were so eager to jump the hate-wagon with their vocal audience that very few bother to check how the real world marketing was moving.

Now, only two years later I see more and more people going away from physical midia. I for that matter can´t stand geting up and change de disc.

However, it seems that the little good will MS has gained recently is in part due to Sony first party output being far lower than expected.

Also, most of the appocalyptic rethorics we heard was pure BS. Here some few exemples:

- XOne development kit is terrible.

- XOne games will look so bad that they will be almost unplayable.

- The gap in performance will grow.

- Third party studios will make many exclusive deals with Sony.

- PS4 will repeat PS2 era domination. 


All that rhetoric came from one person didn't it?😂

PS4 seems to be the console of choice to review console versions of multi-platform games. But that's also because the games tend to look and run a little better on PS4 so publishers actually want reviewers to use the PS4 version. So yes i guess there is bias but not really against Xbox One, but a preference for the PS4.


That isn't the reason, it has to do with which console is more popular. There were games running better on ps3 last gen over 360 and 360 still got reviewed over the ps3 and vice versa. It has to do with traffic and click bait.

I remember how people were saying all third party games will become PS4 exclusives. That is hilarious to me. Even if the ps4 outsells the xbox one there is way too much money to be made on xbox one and the fact it is easy to port games between consoles / pc these days.


If there was so much money to be made on Xbox 1 then why more than half of those Japanese PS4 console/ exclusives aren't coming to Xbox one?

I didn't make it 30 seconds in the video.

To be honest, most of that is forum talk, not the way the media is leaning. I don't think anybody should be playing the victim here, we know it happens from both sides.

Because no one buys them outside of Japan and a very very few Americans/Europeans. Same thing happen to the ps3/360 towards the middle/end of the generation. The only thing they have to do with the ps4 version is change the text and the voice (which usually leads to A LOT of misinterpetation). Only big-medium japanese games (like mgs, ff, kh, ect) will be on the xbox one. And even then the games don't sell too well on PS4. Look at bloodborne. Very highly rated game, but sold less than 2 million on a platform with 25 million user base. That is why you see a lot of japanese publishers asking for help to make new games. Bayonetta, Street Fighter, Shemnue 3, ect...

Because the Japanese are very odd about their business practices. They care little for foreign money and focus all their attention on how much they can make in Japan, true of many things other than games as well, and Xbox One only has the potential to make them money outside Japan so they simply don't care. There's plenty of Japanese devs that don't even bother localising their games, further showing how they don't care about foreign money. Of course there are some exceptions though.


How exactly did you answer my question? Money is money. If those guys didn't care about foreign money they probanly wouldn't bother on PS4. So how exactly are those devs getting their money back on porting games to X1 when they could basically work on PS4/PC where the actual audience cared. Or have you forgotten about the split ratio of FF Type0 HD.

MS seems to have escaped criticism for their lack of exclusives for the first 2/3 of this year, their first party efforts, which have been few and far between for the last two years, and have successfully convinced a lot of news sites that only the holidays count. They were rightly criticized after the reveal, but since then I think if anything they have been given an easy ride. That being said, I only see the news posted on here, gaf and reddit, so they may be getting unfairly treated elsewhere, I'm only judging by the limited amount I have seen.


this.

 

i've seen countless articles commending microsoft for their exclusives this year while stating sony has a weak lineup and so. even though The Order, Bloodborne, MLB released, and Until Dawn and Tearaway are right around the corner while MS basically had nothing release.
