Xbox was cheaper for this whole generation. Didn't help them one bit. Even an underpowered higher priced Switch easily wiped the floor with Xbox. Nintendo and Playstation are set to dominate again.
3 times selling over a 100 million? That's consistency. You would be an absolute idiot to think Playstation can't do it again. Got some good numbers to back their predictions. I don't think Xbox will do even 30 million by then.
Just go check Playstations instagram. Its already got almost 90,000 comments in under 12 hours.
" I think most of PlayStation's first-party projects are known"
Says MOST are known. Lists 3 games. Sony has at 15 studios. So what were the other 12+ games? Since you're in the know what's going on with the other dozen or so studios?
@Rimeskeem
Exactly. This whole generation was so forgettable for Xbox it needs to reach back farther to get some meaning
I got Ori and Gears 5 for that time period. But its Ryan Mcaffrey and his skewed Xbox view. Like I always say you can't spell Ignorant without IGN. They are seriously trying to make it seem like BC is some huge new concept. And its partial BC at that. It's a handful of OG Xbox, 360 games not all of them so its misleading ...
Lol. Guys Google Stadia lit the world on fire. So there's the biggest win all generation. I even know 1 person who bought one personally.
Same. Although I ended up buying PS3 fightsticks to continue playing KOF Orochi saga along with World Heroes and Samurai Shodown collections. Still using my BC PS3
To be fair with a generation so bad for exclusives and so forgettable its not a surprise you got to reach back so far to have something good to play.
I've brought it up many times. Its not really true BC. The vast majority of my 360 games aren't compatible. Some idiot even mentioned its because they're not popular and I was like so what? My PS3 plays all PS1, PS2 games NOT just the popular ones. Just the most idiotic thing to say. Already got one idiot in this thread mention 'console exclusives'. You know Xbox gots you if you're repeating their garbage
Well there it is. Someone had to mention 'console exclusive'. Term created by MS. They just eat it up.
Its not BC that is the issue. Its this supposed 'support' you speak of. Set the low bar in games and thats where Xbox is this whole generation. Next gen should be easy to step over the low bar.
Maybe if they supported the previous gen properly this would've been less of an issue? Or you honestly saying that Xbox has done great over 8 whole years and not making gamers care? Just look at the Switch and how their adoption flew through the roof and all they did was releases GAMES for their GAME console? But yeah its not like Nintendo has more 1st party games than Xbox One right in just 3 years? Oh wait..... they do.
Wait you mean someone who buys a new Porsche doesn't need to drive at the same speed as their old sports car? They can step on the peddle and go even faster?! Whoa mind blown. Xbox fans bring it down a gear guys. Need to be 'inclusive'. Its not to widen the base amount of people to potentially buy games since they failed so badly this gen right? Nah. Just overthinking things keep it in low gear..... lol
Its funny that power keeps getting mentioned so much. They conveniently forget that the One X was supposed to turn the tide? Bring up the Switch being so underpowered with no 4K games and still destroys Xbox sales in under 3 years? Or that Nintendo has more exclusives than Xbox in 8 years? Then its either no response or just wait while our new studios make these games...... yeah because its not like Sony or Nintendo studios will do ANYTHING in the mean time. Weird could have thought Xbox...
How could you assume he had no interest when he owns an Xbox One? Lol. His reasons are the same as mine. I had an OG Xbox One swapped it for the S and saw the gen was closing out so the One X was kind of pointless in the face of the new Series X, but, now that Xbox announced no new exclusives for 2 years and sealed the deal by saying going forward I don't even need to rebuy my games for Series X then what's the difference waiting?
Now I can play all the same game...
Really? Did the Wii U, PS2, PS3 not have full backward compatibility? Are PS5 and Series X not going to have BC? Because I don't get how PC made BC a thing over consoles?
@Chief
Yeah all that power really turned the course of Xbox. Just look at how its just dominating the Switch. Oh right that didn't happen.....
Weird all that power and the Switch in all its underpowered glory absolutely destroy Xbox. If you think that 'power' will change things then you really need to reconsider what being a gamer is. Why did you even game on Xbox if 'power' was a factor?! Lol. Could have got a PC, but, you stuck...
Xbox just wait till the 'next event. Never heard that before right? Oh wait....
Really my first systems were Atari and the original NES. Go ahead and enlighten me. Just unclear how Sony didn't do anything 'special.
PS1 being on CD didn't move the industry forward?
PS2 being on DVD and the launch of a lot of franchises still around?
PS3 being on bluray? With built in wifi and a host of other features?
PS4 with console VR?
Sony launched 3 disc based media, incredible 1st party graphical tech and...
@Chronoforce
Nothing against PC gaming. Even I got a PC for gaming, but, Star Citizen is an exception. Go ahead and name a other game like it? What other AAA exclusives need to be on PC? I can't think of anything else that NEEDS PC to work. All the other AAA games could be ported to PS5 and Series X just fine I would think so that kind of makes your list of exclusives kind of moot. Also your list was literally a single game. An exception at that.
Weird. Playstation Instagram had almost 90,000 comments in under 12 hours. I'm thinking they did good. Design looks slick. Very bold. I personally like it.
