So I am putting my money on a an exclusive star wars marketing deal for Xone and Battlefront II. That will help in the US since Sony will have a great holiday in Europe with GT sport. I have no idea how they can compete in Europe this year though. The Switch will do decently in Europe and good in the rest of the world. PS4 will probably sell good everywhere but NA being relatively the weakest market. Xone will sell good in UK and USA and not so good in the rest if the world.

Actually Sony already has the marketing for Star Wars.

Well than I fear MS is screwed.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

There is nothing. They don't even release exclusive games anymore. So, PC user's like me, don't bother with the Xbox brand.

not nessesarily true I know multiple of my friends who have great pc's who will pick up a Xbox Scorpio this year its a great way when you buy a game in windows store to use for multiplayer lan, because when you put the xbox as your home console anyone can play the purchased games and when they drop by you can set up games togheter with a snap of your finger.

its also a good media center, its actually quite a nice device for pc gamers, I like the features more then the PS4 and would prefer it over even tough I will end up owning both since I have a ps4 since launch

Buy Sony and Nintendo and claim all the profit. The best and only way.

Easy. Get Halo 6 out as soon as possible to go with the Scorpio and xbox will be competitive again. Maybe not this holiday but some time next year.

Its mid gen. If Microsoft cannot get any exclusives worth talking about to accompnay the Scoprio, its over. The scorpio couldnt save them anyway.  Halo cannot save them. 343 already confirmed there will be no Halo this year. Hardcore gamers spread the word like wildfire through the internet and once the outlets catch wind of an E3 fail its going to hurt Microsofts console gaming cred terribly.

Hope and prayers? No, they can't really do anything, they screwed up the 8th gen before it even started and just made too many poor decisions.

Nothing.

They really have no chance of beating the Switch or PS4 due to the conditions they put themselves in

Not to much.

They will already have all the GP talk with the release of Scorpio during the holiday. They could very well be the most talked about and promoted brand. Couple that with whatever they announce at E3 and you've got a winner. They are in a good place now imo.

How much fanfare did the PS4 pro have behind it? At mid gen most consumers are looking for price cuts.
