The amount of fanboys defending this inaccurate article is hilarious.
lol yep.
lol no...you clearly don't even know what this means.
If you are going towrite an article like this at least get the facts right..Sony did Cross play years before MS and cross buy as well...That alone shows the author never cared for accuracy but is pushing an agenda instead. Typical US press shilling for Microsoft, like clock work every new gen. I still have flashbacks to Polygon (Gies and Kuchera massive xbox fanboys) defending Xbox one DRM Alone with Ars Tech, and others. Embarassing. US games media are garbage,
Yep, the american press are just awful. Sony did cross play for years and cross buy before MS ever did it.
@rakentaja So you could not counter my points and went right to insults..we are done here...Sony has utterly dominated MS..They are not following MS at all, sony clearly has their own timeline, it's obvious as they are doing things way differently then MS. Sony Talked about PS5 first, with Wired, befire MS did with the next Xbox....You are light on facts.
If it is the right way to do it why is MS always being outsold badly by Sony? I think Sony knows what they are doing in the Console space more then MS..sorry. Why iS MS the one that does it right when it is Sony who has dominated every console gen except the PS3 gen>?
Everything better? LOL how so? How can you even quantify that? Hype for PS5 is high, a single logo for PS5 was the most liked on Instagram ever,...Please . Talking more is not doing everything better. MS has not done anything to make anyone want to leave the PS ecosystem. No one cares abour PR 8-10 months from launch, no one will even remember this once sony has their reveal. Sony's startegy to keep quiet , slowly build anticipation is way better then MS over hyping everything. Differen...
It's more complicated then this. Bs revisionist hsitory...The PS4 was revealed BEFORE ms in Feb and it generated a lot of hype..Xbox did not get shown until MAY,.,.,Sony did everything right, which made xbox look worse in comparision... Sony nailed PS4, they made the right decisions, and they spent decades building a strog first party and Worldwide brand recognition. It is far more then "MS messed up',,,,,The ony reason the 360 did as well as it did was PS3 was a mess at launch, ...
Not doing anything? LOl what a load of garbage..They have built their brand to the point it is today..they will have a big blowout, they have not shown anything since 2017, they are clearly sitting on new things to show and they will soon...another stupid article. Irony is we know nearly the same about PS5 as we do xbox..MS just talks, talks, talks..the issue with that is they over hype every little thing and they under deliver (LIke their last Xbox event).....
None of what you listed has anything to do with being consmer friendly..lol.
He got downvoted because his list is stupid...most of that has nothing to do with being more consumer friendly, it is just a stupid bullet point list you can do or every console maker...
The "Anti-Consumer " and "Consumer Friendly' are the most mis-used words and it is the new rallying cry for xbox..good lord it's pathetic...There is nothing "More consumer friendly" about xbox, different strategies, and one is working for Sony right now.
Reads like an Ad..nothing has changed, Xbox will lag behind a lot compared to PS5, Ms does not have first party near sony's quality. Just buying a studio is not a solutuon, you need to keep and foster that talent, something MS has strufggled with.
Not sure this is worth an article..
Nobody "Deserves them", what a silly take , this is business.
what?
A japan dev being bought by MS would be bad period, for the dev and gaming.
You cannot just pass off a franchise to another dev and expect the same "It" that made it great....creating art is not easy and having great studios is not either. Like anything it had it's time, but Halo will never be what it was.
@aquanox "That's a good debate. I can perceive in forums and gaming community (i.e. Youtubers) that xbox fans are much more enthusiast right now than PS Fans"
This is totally nonsense lol...TLOu 2 and Ghosts alone is more excitement then anything xbox is doing, I guess unless you just like PR instead of games? Once PS5 is unveiled no one will care MS hyped every little thing for a few months before launch...only to backfire.
