Microsoft may win what? This sort of talk is the musing of a silly person. Microsoft has sold 35 million consoles while Sony sold over 86 million so far. Microsoft lost and will now focus on a different strategy of trying to stream games to multiple devices and they will surely sell less consoles next generation. This generation is over and it'll be the same next generation

Kinect was purchased from the e3 floor.. and never lived up to its sales pitch

Crazy coconuts,

Dr. Marks was working with the tech long before Microsoft bought the tech out from under him.

He even talks about it here 1:00 hour in video when he was working with Prime sense. Watch the question section for 5 minutes after that.

You can tell he was pissed off but had to move on after Microsoft pulled a dirty move acting like they were the originators of the tech. So shady.

They don't innovate. They copy or buy.

I give you xbox live. Xbox live, achiviments are the base of modern online consoles, and MS did this first.

Lets get one thing straight. There is a huge difference in innovating and adopting. There is also a huge difference in making somethimg standard, and being the first to do it.

Online consoles and HDD inclusion were always going to happen. Live isn't the reason for PSN's existence.

DreamCast and the PSX had features like online, HDD, home button, etcetera before other consoles anyways. Nintendo is responsible for adopting several things from arcades into console form, like analogs and rumble. Sony streamlined the modern dual analog controller design though.

A prime example of making something standard is PS3 with Bluray, which we all know is absolutely the main reason that the format won against HD-DVD. Sony has also set a standard with game recording built in. Right out of the gate with on the fly 15 minute saved videos on a secondary processor. This isn't a no-brainer feature that would have been included eventually since progress would demand it. They just decided to do it. Now the other platforms do it too.

Sony has in-house R&D that have demonstrations of tracking controllers with shapes and lights, like Move, back in 2000. MS finds other companies to design and innovate for them. It's all outsourced, even 343i Halo's storylines are outsourced to several generic sci-fi writers which is why it becomes saturated and cliche.

Kinect was already made by a company, that visited Nintendo and Sony, whom said no, before they went to MS.

Excuse after excuse, hype after hype, and pity after pity for XBox won't bring more players. These articles are all wishful thinking. There is even less room for MS in the market now that Nintendo has made a big comeback, and Sony's momentum has still been kept.

@CyberSentinel:
Sony didn't put as much on the Eye as MS did. The XB1 was built around and suffered for it.

@Brazz:
"Xbox live, achiviments are the base of modern online consoles, and MS did this first."

Meh, and consoles have suffered for it. As far as i'm concerned.

The only thing innovative about xbox live was the paywall, oh and horse armour lol. Kinect was sh1t3 lol and ms failed attempt to grab the wii crowd.
