FrontBurnr: I’m a fan of gaming in general. In this last generation, I have honestly found myself preferring the Xbox 360 experience over PS3 and Wii when it comes to consoles. With that being said, I was ready to jump on this next generation of consoles and bought the 3DS, Vita and Wii U all on launch day. The PS4 and Xbox One will follow suit, although the decision wasn’t an easy one when it came to the Xbox One.
One of the most famous painters of all, in The Master's Pupil on Xbox you'll get to journey through the masterpieces of Claude Monet.
The VGChartz sales comparison series of articles are updated monthly and each one focuses on a different sales comparison using our estimated video game hardware figures. The charts include comparisons between the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, as well as with older platforms. There are articles based on our worldwide estimates, as well as the US, Europe, and Japan.
If PS5’s were in stock that first year I think a lot less people would have settled on an Xbox and the numbers would have been worse.
One Last Breath is now available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.
Well, I guess we can't say they are anti consumer anymore. Also Mattrick is gone.
You know what both consoles HAVEN'T done right? Release dates... Give them to me, pls.
I have always bought 2 consoles to go with my PC and that's not going to change..PS4/X1 are both worth buying in my opinion and i'm not looking for acceptance or the popular vote on my decision to want both/ view them as great machines that will offer quality features and software..Nintendo could turn things around software wise and have me wanting Wii U down the line too.
Microsoft got off to an awful start. I mean, it was terrible. I can't even stomach watching the first unveiling because it was that terrible.
Microsoft made all the wrong moves. It unveiled the console and relegated games to the background whilst confirming everyone's fears via leaks that it was trying to be an entertainment machine first. This was made all the worse when considering how good Sony's first show was and how they reinforced their commitment to games.
Microsoft then really redeemed itself in the gaming front with a great E3 as far as games were concerned. No long marketing spiel and overly long sales figure spouting, no...they just showed back to back games. This was a far cry from their previous E3 performances (and I can't recall anyone else doing it in such a committed fashion).
But then, all this was eclipsed by their DRM policies and Sony's announcement just added salts to the gaping wounds.
Microsoft then made things worse again with the completely vague nature of their responses. To this day, does anybody know exactly how the games sharing feature was supposed to work? If you're going to be bold enough to take the lead with the digital future, at least have the decency to spill out exactly what you're doing.
And then the U-turn. This still irks me because it shows that Microsoft really didn't have a concrete plan for their vision or had the conviction to stick by it.
Microsoft is still on the defensive. It has done certain things right and has learnt its lessons. Microsoft has been slapped in the face by the community and therefore, you'll see more disclosure from them, more attempts to 'properly' engage with the community. But there are still things that it needs to do, mainly because of the strong position that Sony is in right now.
Has it done right? To an extent but it had no choice considering the shambles that was the reveal. Has it done enough? Time will tell but I still think there is a lot Microsoft have to do to reinforce the confidence that it shattered so quickly with the X1 reveal.
Another one trying to convince himself that MS are 'listening to their fans' in regards to the 180.
You can give them that massive benefit of the doubt or you can look at exactly when they changed the policy and come to a more balanced conclusion.
Did they change the policies after the Adam Orth incident? No
Did they change the policies after the reveal backlash? No
Did they change the policies after E3 backlash? No
(they didn't even have it planned as the Angry Joe interview revealed)
Did they change the policies after PS4 pre-orders shot way up above Xb One? Yes
Now really, what does this tell you?
MS have really started to turn things around as of late but pretending like it's because of a loving kindness toward their fans is pure fantasy.
