It is easy if you have a name on it... Peter... and a surname... Molyneux... at charge.
Microsoft Marketing is like 90% of each game... so $500 for Halo Infinite makes sense: 50 for development, 450 for Phil and MKT.
Try Elite Dangerous and you will never pay again for Star Citizen.
Some will have to wait four months...
26th August... during Gamescom 2020, surely.
Seattle reveal of Xbox One was biggest shot on the foot I have ever seen in a tech company. It was really embarrasing to share space with mainstream media who had never heard of Xbox or knew nothing about hardware and gaming... writing what they heard from others and copying the wrong message between them. A total PR failure that has been daily for Xbox since 2013.
Next round: More PS5 games showed in August event.
After that: Price for both consoles and launch date.
Undefined: PSVR2.
November: Fight!
"Xbox exclusives are on the platforms Microsoft decides them to be".
It is possible on a low end PC with small apps.
It is possible on PC with games and hungry apps when you have enought RAM, CPU and a really fast NVME (preferably with a dedicated controller and paralell units like ASUS HYPER M.2 X16 GEN 4).
PC will be more expensive for the same gaming efficiency and results for a couple of years. Until every laptop and low end desktop comes with a hardware NVME PCIe 4 controller and at least 16GB RAM, I supose. But, for gaming, a console wi...
And it is good. But copying Bungie is not enought.
And Matsuda praises PS5 Ray Tracing... What's going on, Halo Infinite damage control team?
Xbox One X should be the lower end, rebranded as Xbox Series S... or exist only Xbox Series X, so no market division, no misunderstanding problems for consumers, no more different game versions for developers... only one next gen platform and an older generation one support for a couple of years.
"No box, no console wars"...
Because it is cheapest format and statistics publishers use tells it is the most extended format used on PC. But... maybe they should change statistics sources or convince themselves that physical format can be a box with merchandising... with a code printed. USB could be the perfect support, but it is more expensive than DVD discs, for the moment.
Nobody uses discs in Master Race... nobody I know.
What about an encrypted USB?
This is like a... "We too" answer to PS5... isn't it? But it continues lacking some juice, as speed is half of what PS5 will offer and CPU will handle most of the work on Xbox Series X for compression/decompression. I hope Xbox has some more to add and developers can use it from day One.
Xbox 360 had really exclusive games like Mass Effect, Gears of War, Amped 3, Dead or Alive, Forza Motorsport series, Lips, MotoGP series, Naruto series, Ninja Gaiden series, Project Gotham series, Scene it, Saints Row, Viva Piñata series, Halo series or Kinect titles that helped sell consoles. Now, this factor is non existent, as you can play virtually any Xbox game on a 500€ PC (with lower quality than on Xbox Series X, but you can and most of population don't really care about visu...
PS3 arrived to Japan a year after Xbox 360.
PS3 in US six months after Japan.
PS3 in Europe arrived two years after Xbox 360.
PS3 in Europe arrived 100€ more expensive than Xbox 360.
PS3 in Europe arrived with far less games than Xbox 360.
PS3 in Europe arrived with lower quality versions of Xbox 360 games.
And... PS3 ended the generation above Xbox 360 globally.
PS4 has been above Xbox One for seven years... doubling competence...
Well... really... Sony has gone for cheapest cloud. That's why they have changed from AWS to Microsoft Azure. If Google, Amazon or any other offers a better solution, I supose Sony will not pay more for something like that. And, obviously, with Google and Amazon opening new datacenters everywhere, while Microsoft contentrates in US and uses third parties for some countries... we can see Sony changing Azure for others in a not far future.
