Does a game needs to have realistic graphics and be a shooter to be considered AAA?? Have you taken a look at the production values of Ni No Kuni!? The graphics, art style, soundtrack and the world all scream AAA. You are comparing it to a 2D sprite based Disagaea and Tales franchise that often looks like PS2 games?? GTFO.

Man, if the fans and actual owners of the system dont care then why do you care? If they are still happy with the conference, why is it bothering you?? I only see people who do not even own a PS4 bashing the conference and celebrating it as the worst ever. They are just so happy that they are flooding every article about it. They love to see Sony fumble and are always waiting for something to happen so they can finally find something to criticize and bash.

Besides the disappo...

Ni No Kuni II, FF7 Remake gameplay, Nioh gameplay, Ace Combat 7, King of Fighters XIV, Last Blade 2 are more than enough games for me. People are such whiners and moaners. I understand that many were expecting GoWIV and Sony Bend's game but they didnt show them. It was disappointing for me as well but get over it! It is just a videogames show and there are much more important things in life to worry about! Seriously, what is wrong with people??

The remake is not about the combat! It is about visiting all those places and meeting all those characters in glorious graphics. We can finally see their faces and emotions and listen to them talk. It is about experiencing the story, location and the legendary moments in modern visuals. Dont you want to see how that Don Corneo sidequest will look like? Or how Barret will look like in a sailor costume? How will the burning of Nibelheim look? Or the Aerith scene? What ...

I am really surprised they did not show God of War IV and the long rumoured Sony Bend's game. When else are they going to show it as the generation is almost half way through and it takes games time to release even after announcement. Moreover, we still do not have a release date for No Man's Sky. The keynote would have been a huge disappointment for me if it wasnt for Ni No Kuni 2 and FF7 Remake gameplay. I am satisifed and happy with those two but I can feel the disappointment of th...

So you think Xbox exclusives like Forza, Cuphead, Ori, ROTR, Scalebound, Sunset Overdrive have a bigger market in the west? The only exclusive that sells on Xbox is Halo and Gears so do not talk as if Xbox exclusives have a bigger market. Forza 6 did not even chart in the NPD IN THE US. All of those released games are commercial flops. ROTR sold less than Tales of Zestiria and Order 1886 in the launch week! Tales of Zestiria, a JRPG sold more on PS3 alone on launch ...

You really cant see anything else??? Moreover, you dimiss JRPGs on PS4 and are looking forward to Scalebound, an RPG by a Japanese dev?? Well, people buy consoles according to theri tastes. No wonder you cant see anything on PS4. It just does not appeals to you. For me I see

Horizon: Zero Dawn (Open world RPG)
The Last Guardian (puzzle platofmer adventure)
Star Ocean V (legendary JRPG franchise)
Persona 5 (One of the best JRPG franchise)

Fallout 4 turned out to be the most overhyped game this generation. People were treating it like a gaming revolution and a Game of the Genration without even having played it. The hype even led to a lot of freepasses with comments and reviews that went something like this,

"yeah it looks ugly... yeah its buggy... yeah the animations are terrible...yeah the gameplay is shallow... yeah the dialogue systems sucks... yeah the role-playing has been dumbed down...yeah the stor...

You are welcome. :-) Glad to be of help. I am an MBA so I am familiar with the business field.

They are demographics (groups) in the field of Marketing. People born during certain decades are grouped together because they are within the same age range and have similar needs or preferences. For example Baby Boomers (1940s-60s), Generation X (1960s to 80s), Generation Y or Millenials (1980s-early 2000s). For example, Marketers will market the latest technology to millenials because they are were born during the hitech era, antiaging products to Generation X because they are getting old a...

@FatDrink

Dude you are the one ignoring facts when you state that Forza brand is MASSIVE. Forza games have always sold just a small fraction of what GT games sell. The latest Forza 6 did not even chart in the NPD! It was not even at number 10 even after all the hype and publicity. "Forza is niche" was an excuse used by Xbox fans themselves when the game did not chart in NPD. I saw Xbox fans ridiculing Uncharted Collection for being low on the NPD but you guys comple...

You forgot to clarify that the amount of AAA "shooters and racers" exclusives on the console sets it apart. What about other genres? Any AAA or even AA exclusives that I can play on Xbox One that are not shooters or racers? Any JRPGs? WRPGs? Horror? Adventure? Platformers? MMORPGs? Hack and slash? Puzzlers? Sorry but most gamers are not content with playing just two genres.

@poppinslops

Sunset Overdrive is also a shooter and it is listed as such. Yo...

They are definitley listening now and done a great deal to bring the Xbox One in line with its fans expectations. However, it only happened when received a sales beating from PS4. They were pretty stubborn about their decisions until they started losing in sales. Remember how they said they cannot just switch off Kinect? That gamers who do not have a stable internet should limit themselves to Xbox 360? That always online was an essential part of the vision etc.? That Kinect was an essential p...

Facepalm! Should have been patient!! Just bought it last month for $25. Haven't even played it yet. I wish I had waited and gotten the game with the season pass for just $20. Dont even have spare money to buy the season pass now since I just got the Destiny Legendary Edition. Man... regret it so much... T_T

The Xbox One is selling great. The normal annuals sales for consoles have always been 8 to 12 million. Sometimes, they even sold just 6 million in the first year. The PS4 is just selling extraordinary so it makes Xbox One sales look bad. Similar to how the Wii was selling extraordinary and made PS3 and Xbox 360 sales look bad.

@moldybread

And if it becomes true in a few years? What will you say then? I have seen Xbox fans proven wrong more times than any other fanbase. We are still waiting for Milo and Kate, still waiting for Kinect to revolutionize gaming, still waiting for illumiroom, still waiting for cloud power to make the console 3 times powerful than PS4, still waiting for discovery of secret sauce, still waiting for DX12 games, still waiting for HoloLens and still waiting for all those stag...

Microsoft has never made any money on the Xbox. Maybe a little bit during one or two quarters once in a while but overall it has been nothing but losses. The problem is they spend far too much on buying exclusives, buying timed-exclusives, buying DLC, serving warranty claims (Xbox 360), and marketing ($500 million on just promoting Kinect). Just search the internet and one can find several articles and reports. Here are just few of them.
