Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One Is No Longer the Underdog

People seem to not know what the term "underdog" means. Microsoft is the underdog because, although it has a chance, it's very unlikely that it'll win out vs. PS4. WiiU is no underdog because there's no chance. Even Nintendo knows this and has moved on to the next (NX) project. The article is sort of ridiculous because everyone expects Sony to win every month. That's not changed. Especially after even Halo couldn't trump PS4. XBOX One is clearly still the underdog.

 

Perfect! Very well explained!

If it's not the underdog then it lost one of the draws for people to buy it.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

With PS4 standing so high, Microsoft and Nintendo are both underdogs. No way to deny it....

It's no longer an underdog. It's so under that there's no way it will ever be able to compete with the PS4.

On what planet?

 

Planet technewstoday located in the bullsheeeeeiiit solarium.  I believe ratchet travels there in a crack in time.  Apparently reality is inverted so this article makes sense. 

 

The Globally in the US planet. 

With Halo declining MS no longer has that knockout punch in their kit bag (Halo 3 was the knockout punch for XB360 in the US, PS3 never was able to get back on its feet in the US after that). They will have to battle with pricepoint unless they came crank out some new IP that is fresh and appeals to mainstream audiences.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

With Halo having underperformed and them having lost November and likely December in the US and with a ton of promising and hyped Sony exclusives and timed exclusives coming next t year plus Sony having robbed Microsoft of nearly all their third party marketing deals I think the opposite is true: Xbox's circumstances are more dire than ever. They are more the underdog now then ever, no matter what region you're talking.

MS is considered the underdog because of how it sold up to this point. It would have to at least match the PS4 sales per month to be rid of that title.

They're not an underdog anymore. For me, an underdog means there is a competition. That's not the case, the One can't compare with the PS4 anymore (well, officially anyway, we knew about that for a long time).
