Why? Your current strategy seems to be working fine. Xbox is supposed to be MORE than a gaming machine, remember?
Focus on gamers? Pff. That's crazy talk.
You, sir, are the anti-M.Night Shyamalan
I believe there's an option to play co-op online if you want to take a stab at that.
Watch Jimquisition's video "Why ps4 is kicking---". Indies are not system sellers, he says, but are GREAT system justifiers. Whilst MS has blown its load too early with Titanfall and has nothing from here on out till August, PS4's steady stream of indies and PS+ games will keep us entertained between AAA releases.
Sweet video. Thanks for making a terrific console and not using PR-mouthpieces to insult us at every turn.
I've never been into f2p games until the PS4. Warframe and Blacklight are all terrific offerings and carry the console between AAA releases.
Well deserved. It's a game with a lot of heart.
Install base + power of the playstation brand + social media exposing which is the superior version. Not unexpected.
Just like how the Halo 5 trailer and BlackTusks secret project were concepts at E3 2013. MS likes to sell hot air to the naive and easily fooled. Why the surprise?
The scene itself won't get you to bat an eyelash if you've played M-rated games before.
Chico's tapes on the other hand? That was a whole new level of uncomfortable.
Quality control is fine. Steam's trying out several new ideas in this field. What Microsoft's doing is no way meant to benefit the consumer or the developers.
The ironic thing is what when sales started to go in Sony's favor, the X-Camp was like "Who cares about sales?! Both consoles are doing fine! Microsoft doesn't care about winning."
I feel so sorry for them. Every time they say something, Microsoft contradicts them. Thank goodness I hopped off this train with the 360.
Microsoft CANCELLED their post-conference interviews with the press. If you expected them to actually explain anything, you were gonna wait an eternity.
Fact is, even WITH internet, The Bone still can't do much because all of its apps are behind a paywall. A paywall its competitor lacks.
Got more derpy facts you wanna shill on us?
Desperation. Messes with one's head.
I don't disagree that EA lost potential profits. But they're still getting money paid for very little investment.
I guess our point of contention is our different perception of what has been invested in this venture. From my point of view, wrong as it may be, Microsoft needed to have pulled Halo/CoD like numbers in 24 hours to have made this all moneyhatting worth it.
Either way, I think both you and I can agree that Respawn got the shaft here.
How did not pay for EA? They got paid upfront and spent zero on marketing. MS pissed away money at the exclusivity deal, marketing and buying copies so they can bundle them with the system. EA was the true winner in this situation.
@amiga: The thirst is real, my friend.
Well put.
It's funny you should mention that. I hopped back on YT to re-watch the reveal and one interesting discovery is how it clocks over 200k whilst the 'TV TV Spaht TV' highlight is almost 7.5M
