LOL. It would be funny if they had been given all those actual awards. Then it would just be the confirmation we gamers need that M$ pays for favors.

If MS hadn't screwed up with such frequency and magnitude, I doubt Ps4 would have sold as well with Xbone lagging so far behind; Xbone would have had a lot more of the pie if they had been more in-tune with gamers.

My personal opinion.........

I think they got caught off guard and rushed everything after the PS4 reveal. I truly believe they were planning to launch this year and were spoon fed incorrect information about Sony in regards to hardware and launch time. Sony did the first thing right by hiring Microsoft's old marketing team. They said and did all the right things. Microsoft's "reveal" was rushed.

I still can't figure out how these consoles ended up looking almost exactly alike.

Microsoft was led to believe the same thing first party, publishers, and third party developers.

They all thought the system would have less GDDR5 memory.
At 4GBs, the PS4 would have struggled to keep up with what microsoft has.
But that isn't the biggest thing. The GPU and CPU are similar in that they are made by AMD, but each architecture is with different builds.

Sony wont boast 5 billion transistors, because that doesn't mean anything for performance, That just means they have the esRAM and the APU stuck together.
The thing that sony did to really solidify their console as next-gen was bumping the memory, as well as using a better graphics card, with 18 compute units(CUs) versus 12 CUs on the xboxone.
With the increase to 18 CUs, you get 1152 Arithmetic logic units (ALUs), versus 768 ALUs.
But it only gets worse as you look at the rest of the specs, 32 vs 16 ROPS, 72 vs 48 TMUs, 1.84 TFLOPS vs 1.31 TFLOPS.

And then the CPU, or APU for that matter.
Sony went and future proofed the PS4 with HUMa and other technologies that make it possible to run more on less on hardware that will have to stay the same for years while PC's just get better.

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.

Jingsing21d ago

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….

S2Killinit21d ago

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

Jingsing21d 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.

Tanktopmaster9221d 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
