the question is....
who is the person can buy a xbox one when you look the games of each system?
more own IPs are from sony.
better bussiness with third party are from sony. remenber tomb raider will be for ps4 and street fighter 5 is only on sony system.
much more third party games on playstation systems..
etc..

at the end of 2016 the war is over.
microsoft now see that they can´t fight with sony at the same time. so.. they need release a new system as soon as possible to do the same as 360 did with ps3.
they need 1 year ahead of sony to fight and eat market to ps5.

Oh my god, please go back and capitalize properly.

As some have pointed out, XB1 is outperforming the XB360 on aligned launch.

The people who are saying that seem to ignore that 360 had a huge surge in sales in 2010-2012 from "casuals" due to Kinect. Unless XB1 has a massive late life resurgence than matching 360 sales is very unlikely. VR/AR could potentially cause that but it seems as though Sony has the upper hand currently with Playstation VR releasing later this year.

XB1 will likely follow a more standard sales curve which is peak in its 2nd or 3rd full year then begin to decline.

Okay, that would be fine and dandy if the XB360 wasn't touted as a success prior to Kinect.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that

So Don Mattrick represents all the passion in gaming at MS? This is why I say you have an anti Xbox agenda. You say crap like that and give no credit to people at MS that make notable games.

It seems like your idea of competing is money hatting Titanfall 2 and buying the marketing of CoD. You don't want to give them credit for making or funding good games I guess.

MS does spend a lot of money. They have a lot of games coming, I assume more games will be announced this year, we don't know what marketing deals they have planned with 3rd parties. It sounds like you aren't happy unless MS is wasting an endless stream of money.

Nintendo's success right now has more to do with the 3DS, not Wii U. By the way, you're very critical of MS not competing enough. But you boast about NIntendo even though they are barely relevant in the home console market. If NIntendo is doing so well right now financially, maybe you should criticize them for not buying Titfanfall exclusivity or CoD marketing. :-p

Microsoft never wanted to or cared about making great games and being in the console business. It was about stopping Sony. They said so themselves. It was always a trojan horse platform, set to exploit gamers on a course to owning the living room. That totally failed with Xbox One and now, I believe that they're switching gears and moving the platform into other areas where it can be successful. There's many reasons why I believe this but one of them is again, letting their biggest IP leave the platform. You just don't do that if you're interested in having a hardware platform. That's what software companies and third parties do....... 

Well you say that didnt care about great games but their consoles have always been a place to find great games. But I guess that is just a coincidence.

Here is what Im trying to explain to you. MS the company spent billions of dollars getting into the console because they knew something big was happening there that wasnt just gaming. However, gaming is a crucial part of penetrating that market. So they sought for people and studios to bring them content. This is exactly the same thing Sony did when entering the console market.
Playstation and Xbox have frankly become what MS envisioned when entering the market, multimedia boxes. That happened because thats what the market wanted.
People are critical of MS for supporting Windows. But I feel Nintendo and Sony would do the same if they owned Windows. Millions of people play Nintendo and Playstation games on Windows. Maybe those companies should try to make money from Windows.

Swordmasterman said:How many times we will have to say that ?, Playstation 3, sold because of the Exclusives, the Master System, would still sell more on Brazil, because Sonic, is more popular than Mario, here on the Country, and the Other consoles still selling, the PS3, the Xbox 360, The PS2, but only the PS2, and the Master System, got this Main Stream on Brazil, but PS3, Xbox 360,  Xbox One, Playstation 4, sold less, or and selling less than the Master System.

 

Playstation 3, was the Cheapest Blu-ray reader, so if you had to run a Blu-ray disc on 2006, Playstation 3, was the Cheapest option, and how can you say about Playstation 2, selling 20-25 Millions of units from 2008, to 2012 ?, this is 5-6 Millions per Year, more than Wii U, and Nearly more than Xbox One, even after 6 Years the Playstation 3, and Xbox 360, launched.

 

Tax, have nothing to do with it, do you think that Someone, will buy a Console from 30 Years ago, that they don't want, only because is 200RS$, insteady of buying atleast a Last Gen console, for 600-700RS$ ?, i want to see if the Americans still buying old consoles  even after so many years.

 

People still Import consoles for purchase, but also still buying 30 Years old consoles, on the Dozen of thousands units every year, only because they want to play on the Console.

You want to say that My differents poor, and they cannot purchase a Next Gen, or Previous gen console, because of that they are Stuck with Master System ?, The average Wage is 2000RS$, stores sell Xbox One, nearly for free with 1 Year of EA Acess, for 1200-1400RS$, and Playstation 4, for 1600-1800RS$.

So people still prefer to purchase a 200RS$ system, from 30 years ago only because they don't have Money ?, you Know that Atleast Half of the Brazilians have a Month wage of 6000-8000RS$, don't you ?, the others are More rich, and the minority is Poor, is less than 5-10%.

 

The country have 200 Millions of Citzens, is not because of Tax, or anything like this, is because the console is good, have good games like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Sonic.

 

Exclusive is the main reasons that Consoles sell this much, the Wii, sold a lot because was the only console that had Motion exclusives, with the Wii Mote, if the Wii, did not had the Wii Sports, that was a Exclusive, do you think that it would have sold 100 Millions of Units ?.

NES didnt try to compete in Brazil. But I beieve they would have done well had they did what Sega did.

Even if PS3 was a cheap Bluray, it was an expensive machine for the average consumer. That allowed 360 to succeed.

I believe a low price is crucial to having success in Brazil. I hear piracy is also pretty rampant there so many just opt for PC. That lowers odds of people going to Xbox and Playstation.

Brazil has a massive population but relatively speaking they dont buy a lot of game consoles.

Master System had objectively shitty versions of SF and MK. Sonic wasnt great either on that system.

Wii sold well because it appealed to casual market. Wii U has great exclusives and has sold horribly.

Did you know what Sony, did when first got to the Market ?, the CD Player, they had a lot of Developers working for PS1, because was easier to Program too, the CD, had 11 Times more storage than Nintendo 64's Midia had, Saturn, was hard to program for.

 

The consoles are Not Multi-Midia Box, they are just Gaming consoles, and only used for Games, Multimidia, is not even 0,00000000000000000001% for the Reason that people purchase console, if someone release a Console, without Multimidia, with Online Gaming, and with Good exclusives, the console would still sell, Consoles only have Skype, because of Online gaming (for game), Only have Share Play, and Streaming to Twich, because Youtube, And Twich Gaming, is becoming a Thing, but this is just Gaming feature, not Muldi-midia Feature.

 

People only purchase console for Gaming, your statement that they purchase for Multimidia, is wrong, the Only reason that Microsoft, is making Exclusives going for PC, and the reason that i Belive that there will not be another Xbox, is because they want DRM, they want 100% Online, all of this is commum on the PC Market, Microsoft, is trying to make the Console market, like the PC Market, because the only think that Microsoft, was sucessful in, was on the PC Market.

They only wanted to make their PC, the king of the Living room, because of that "TV TV TV TV TV" on E3, they did not was able to do that, now they will give up, and only sell their games on PC, after Xbox One, stop of selling, they will not make another console, because there is no way that they can compete agaist Sony, even now that they have the Image of "Liars", and the Gaming Community, know that they will  not support Xbox One, with True Exclusives.

Wii sold well because it appealed to casual market. Wii U has great exclusives and has sold horribly.

Wii U, have Anti-Worldwide-costumer's Policy, because of that Wii U, did not sold.

 

The Xbox 360, Was the only console with Piracy for Years, and still the PS3, out-sold Xbox 360, on Brazil.

Is hard to you to believe that a Country, can like more the Sonic Games, than Mario Games ?, Sonic, is the Best gaming mascot of all times, and the Brazil Simply played more Sonic games, than Mario, and Unlike Mario, Sonic, was sucessfull on all source of Midia, Mario, had one of the Worst rated films of All times.

 

Do it hurts you to believe that Exclusives, and Games, is the Number 1 thing that Sell Consoles ?, and not Features ?.

It really makes me Happy that Exclusives still move All the consoles Sales, if Microsoft, make something like Steam Machine, if really enter on the Next Cicle, and if the game will have all the games that are avaliable on PC, and Windows, the "Machine" would sell Much, much less than the Dreamcast, i think that even the Steam Machines, are selling on Low Numbers.

There were numerous consoles that used CDs before PS1. They just weren't very good machines. Sega CD had a few good games though.

Millions of people use their consoles as multi media boxes and gaming machines. If a game console didn't offer the multi media features, they would lose sales. Hey, PS4 is a popular machine for looking at porn as well. Like I said, game consoles became media boxes because that's what the market wants and MS knew that when entering the console market arena.

People forget Sony pushed TV features a lot of as well early on. They are even pushing Playstation Vue.

Those things does not matter for Console Sales, and about the Porn thing, we Only know that Playstation 4, used it more than Xbox One, if PS4, had 1.3234 Seconds per user, and Xbox One 0,923103 Seconds per user, would still be higher.

Sega, made consoles that were Hard to develop to, Sony, made a Console that had a CD Reader, and was easy to developer, plus Sony, paid the development of a lot of games for their consoles, Final Fantasy 7, was the first Megaton on Gaming, the game with the most budget of all times until the release, the game Cost over 150 Millions US$, that was paid by Square, and Sony, just to measure, The Witcher 3, is a 60Millions Budget game, same for Metal Gear Solid V, so the game had a Huge budget even for Modern days.

 

People play console for games, and the console with the better Exclusives wins, the Wii, had Motion Control Exclusives, that were much popular, and was what sold a lot of Wii, so Exclusives is what sell consoles.

Is hard to you to believe that a Country, can like more the Sonic Games, than Mario Games ?, Sonic, is the Best gaming mascot of all times, and the Brazil Simply played more Sonic games, than Mario, and Unlike Mario, Sonic, was sucessfull on all source of Midia, Mario, had one of the Worst rated films of All times.

Do it hurts you to believe that Exclusives, and Games, is the Number 1 thing that Sell Consoles ?, and not Features ?.

It really makes me Happy that Exclusives still move All the consoles Sales, if Microsoft, make something like Steam Machine, if really enter on the Next Cicle, and if the game will have all the games that are avaliable on PC, and Windows, the "Machine" would sell Much, much less than the Dreamcast, i think that even the Steam Machines, are selling on Low Numbers.

That isn't the reason Wii U failed, but whatever. Believe what you want.

Doing a little research, PS3 came to Brazil around 2010. MS didn't start manufacturing 360's in Brazil until 2011. So... Brazil is all fucked up when it comes to game consoles. Lets stop talking about Brazil.

For Playstation and Xbox, 3rd party support is more important than exclusives. For example, having CoD even as a multiplat is more important than any game Sony or MS will ever release. Also, pricing at launch is very important. PS3 fucked up pricing at launch and so did X1.

Some of the most popular games on consoles are also on PC and they are better on PC. But PC doesen't appeal to everyone. That is why Xbox can succceed even if all its games were on PC.
