Man....at this point we need games. To drop a console with all that power and only racing games displaying it isnt a good way to approach a new generation.

Also announcing new hardware at E3 when the xbox one x is only 6months old isnt helping.

Just bring the games that display the power....anything else is just talk. At the moment the two years spent hyping the 6tf was two years wasted....they should have used that time to make games that will show off the power as well.

I don't think MS will be changing their tactics much going into next gen, even with their studio acquisitions. There will be a handful of games at launch, but that will slow to a trickle before too long. Meanwhile, they will do anything but add more exclusives to their lineup, and pay individuals to talk up their hardware. Ergo, I don't see a change of position in their future. The PS5 will likely dominate, and the Switch will be a thing for a while yet before Nintendo finally acquires 8th gen hardware, and both will likely outsell the new Xbox by a good margin.

Hardiman2810d ago

I agree because if M$ was about change they would have done it by now! Folks compare Sony's unveiling of the PS3 to M$'s blunders but M$'s issues go back a decade and have consistently made head scratching decisions! The most egregious being the lack of exciting software! It seems they are unable to let creativity flourish and with them pushing subscriptions and such I don't see the acquisitions changing their focus.

AngelicIceDiamond2809d ago

@Boss Boy are you gonna be so wrong. With MS renewed focus on games makes your comment seem very unfeasible.

Godmars2902809d ago

@AngelicIceDiamond:
How many times has MS had a "renewed" focus on gaming?

Think that their one honest heavy push to actually make games was the OG Xbox, but because they floundered so hard in comparison to the PS2, then the success they had with the 360 and 3rd party DLC, everything else has been half-hearted.

"To drop a console with all that power and only racing games displaying it isnt a good way to approach a new generation."

Thats funny EVERY review article I read says the best place to play a mulitplatform game is on the X1X as it has far and away the best console graphics. But what do people like DF know....

On top of the fact that when I play Red Dead on my 75" 4K TV the best way to do it will be on the X.

Perhaps I'm missing something?

bluefox7552810d ago

Oh? What game on X looks as good as God of War or HZD?

Linktothepast2810d ago

You are indeed. Reading the comment you replied to again may help!

@Bluefox

EVERY multiplat. You're welcome.

Hardiman2810d ago

Which multiplats are selling more on the X than PS4? There's no doubt the X is the better machine as far as power is concerned but and this is a big but, why would a person who already has a PS4 or a Pro go out and spend $500. On an X when the same multiplats look amazing(not good but amazing) games like AC Origins, Wolfenstien 2, Shadow of War all look stunning on my KS9000 running on my Pro!

Now with the X's main selling point being games look better then what about the PS exclusives that look better than the multiplats running on the X?!?! Nothing comes close to Uncharted 4, LL, HZD, GOW, Shadow of the Colossus, Detroit and this Friday Spider-Man!

So to me all the only reason I'd buy an X wouldn't be for "better looking " games it'd be better looking games I could only play on the X and at this point there's not enough to get me to open up my wallet!

All your friends on PS4? Sorry you kinda under handed pitched that. Couldn't resist the HR.
I'm gonna play RD2 on PS4 for that reason. But still all the power to ya.

Go get some sleep and come back mate 😉😉😉

ThePope2809d ago

@Hardin

I couldn't care less if multiplats sell better on PS4. It has ZERO baring on which system they will look better on. Red Dead could sell 10 to 1 and it will still LOOK and PLAY better on Xbox.

Atanasrikard2809d ago

@Hardiman

Don't use Strawman arguments.

seanpitt232809d ago (Edited 2809d ago )

The only thing difference between the xbox x and pro is the resolution and shadows are at a higher settings you would expect better results from a machine that's got 4 gb more Ram and 1.8TF of more power but it's not that much of a difference

Microsoft needs to give gamers a reason to buy there console but they never do

Dragonscale2809d ago

@thepope, considering Sony have the marketing on Red Dead don't be salty if they don't prioritise scorpio. Its not mandatory.

DarXyde2809d ago

... unless you have a powerful rig, of course. :0)

Power is nice, but not my personal priority. This is why I have not upgraded my PS4 or Xbox One. Don't see the point at all to pay for better hardware to play the same games.

Whether I watch something like Avengers 4 at a community theater or an IMAX theater is a matter of personal preference and of no consequence to me. I'm still going to have seen the exact same movie. More power to you, mate.

AspiringProGenji2809d ago (Edited 2809d ago )

Suuure you could care less Red Dead 2 will sell better on PS4 while running better on the X, so what was the point of MS to go that far with the X if the majority won’t care about 6tf? Oh right, it’s because MS and their fanboys were so convinced the PS4 been selling better than Xbox because of the constant graphic comparisons early this gen. Now you know, a console needs AAA exclusives to showcase its power and sell. Showing slightly looking 3rf party games over the Pro has done nothing. Even Uncharted 4 looks better than RoTR on the X.

“EVERY multiplat. You're welcome.“

Wrong! HZD looks better than Witcher 3 on the X and it is obvious because HDZ is the more recent game.

My thoughts as well. The X is clearly newer, more powerful, and more expensive, yet the best looking games on any platform are still on PS4. Developer talent trumps hardware power every time.

ArmrdChaos2810d ago

Funny how explanations change when the advantages change. During the PS3 era it was all about the power of the cell and the developers were lazy. lol

2pacalypsenow2810d ago (Edited 2810d ago )

@ArmrdChaos

The PS3 was the more powerful console though, on Paper......

Doesn't apply with todays hardware though, we wont see the graphical leap we saw from the NES to the PlayStation, PlayStation to the PS2 and Ps2 to Xbox 360.

zeuanimals2809d ago

ArmrdChaos

I mean, yeah... The PS3 had the better looking games by a country mile. Nothing on the 360 could compare to God of War 3 and TLOU. Those games are absolutely stunning on the PS3.

gangsta_red2810d ago

There are more games on Xbox X that are 4K and 60 fps. So exactly how can you say that only the racing games are displaying that power?

"Also announcing new hardware at E3 when the xbox one x is only 6months old isnt helping."

They announced that they are working on new hardware not when they are releasing it. And the only reason they had to do that are the many journalists and folks (a lot including here) that kept insisting that MS was dropping out of the console business.

letsa_go2809d ago

Glad to see you are being consistently wrong today! Keep it up! I bet your friends ask for your opinion, then do the opposite!

gangsta_red2809d ago (Edited 2809d ago )

Uh oh...Letsa_go is once again having a hard time with reading comprehension and grown folk discussions.

Would love to know exactly where am I wrong at and watch you fall over as you usually do when you try and talk back to your Uncle Red.

Howardr0072810d ago

4K doesnt cut it when you have been looking at the same damn lack luster characters for the past 10 years having to oversee flaws because its iether that or your xbox 360 games with polished edges . Xbox is the equivalent to gamers as Peter molyneux is to fable. Gas and air ..

Chris122810d ago

How ironic you mention gas and air......

DivineAssault 2810d ago

I dont think they have the talent to design such things. Its a powerhouse for sure but 3rd party is who they rely on because nothing from 1st displays the full power of the damn base xb1. Im sure theyll get there in time but that seems like it will be a very VERY long time from now. If PS5 does BC and the games are enhanced, the xb1x will be forgotten from gaming history since the other consoles are incoming.

Kribwalker2810d ago

that’s funny. I had no idea the over 80 xbox onex enhanced games i currently play on it aren’t actually games. Must have been some really good peyote i had to imagine such things

trooper_2809d ago

Are they exclusives you can't find anywhere else?

-crickets-

gangsta_red2809d ago (Edited 2809d ago )

@krib

As trooper pointed out those over 80 games that are enhanced don't count as actual games that take advantage of the hardware because for some unknown reason they have to be exclusives.

Kribwalker2809d ago

halo 5 😉

@ganster
damn. these rules keep changing. I need to try to keep up to them more

Didn't it release in early November 2017 which would make it closer to 10 months ago

So the correct evolution to next gen is release an underpowered overpriced console Xb1 then update it slightly XB1S then upgrade it ALOT Xb1X and meanwhile your competition is selling at least twice as many consoles?

neutralgamer19922809d ago

Because this isn't new to Sony they know games matter something ms and Phil don't seem to understand

Games can look better on x but if the same game is available on ps4 there won't be many lining up to nut a new system to play a game that looks better

Your exclusives are suppose to show the true power something ms has lacked since day one

Their fans make all the excuses they are more worried about cross play than actual exclusives they can play

Thundercat772809d ago

Not to mention the Switch is underpowered and still selling better than the Xbox one x.

Call that "correct evolution"

bigmalky2809d ago

Don't forget they'll be pushing non-owned games in the form of GAAS and subscription services, while the competition is selling actual games.

hikikomori-yume2810d ago (Edited 2810d ago )

I keep thinking about getting an X1, because it would be nice to have all three like back during the 6th generation.
But every time I go online and check out the library of games I see that there is literally no reason to own one, since everything is either on the other consoles or pc. I don't like halo or gears and Gran Turismo is far better than Forza. I loved Fable so it would be nice if they would make another one but really ... They need to come up with some new and compelling IPs otherwise they will die out in the next generation.

EDIT:
Hey is an idea!
Bring back Voodoo Vince, make a new Conker game, bring back Jet Set Radio, make a really cool futuristic cyberpunk RPG series etc etc
You should hire me to tell you people what to do and what games to buy.make, I could save your company.
Feel free to PM me ;)

Hardiman2810d ago

I loved Live and Reloaded, Jet Set Radio, KOTOR, Otogi I&II, Splinter Cell, Thief Deadly Shadows, Strangers Wrath just to name a few. Back when M$ actually had exciting exclusives! The only reason I don't get an X would be to play my Xbox and 360 games and it'd have to be really cheap!

BenRC012810d ago

What crap. They drop a £400 console with no games 2 years before they launch a proper next gen. It was a desperate move by Microsoft that failed miserably. Make good exclusives. Easy. There's even a similar company out there you could copy, madness I know.

MunchMiller002810d ago

Um.... I'm pretty sure this entire generation of Xbox, is precisely what NOT to do in the console hardware race. Including XOne X.
