Amazon's "Console Buying Guide"

I just so happened to be on amazon.com looking for something to buy (lol I have nothing better to do a 1:00 am).

But to the point. I came across a page that explains the pros and cons of each console called "Console Buying Guide". There are 6 videos each about 1:30 (1 minute and 30 seconds) long. Each video covers a different aspect of the consoles.

1- Overview
2- Controllers
3- Cost
4- Performance & Graphics
5- Game Selection
6- Online & Multimedia

The thing is how surprising simple and accurate the videos represent each console. They state the negatives of each console, but they keep the focus on highlighting the positives of each console. Each category is represented perfectly in that short span of time they have. I only have concerns over the controller section and Game selection sections.

The controller section shows the standard controllers off well, but they practically skim over PS Move and Kinect. And during the game selection they represent the PS3 perfect, but the Wii games aren't shown off as well, and the Xbox 360 only get Halo as a nod.

Other than that, this is by far the best way to show some uninformed individual each consoles and let them make their decision. Anyway I thought this was neat, and nice of them to do.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing57d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9257d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
