The Xbox One isn't having the most successful of launches. It launched at a higher price than its competitors, but it's becoming clear that it isn't as powerful as Sony's less expensive PlayStation 4. Recent sales data seem to show the PlayStation 4 outselling the Xbox One at a brisk pace. January's NPD data (as reported by Engadget) looks particularly troublesome for Microsoft's new console. This makes it no surprise that Microsoft recently announced a price cut for the new TitanFall Xbox One console bundle. It amounts to a $50 price cut for the console, with the game as a free digital download.
Despite No Man Sky's rocky launch, Hello Games managed to turn it into one of the best space exploration RPGs out there.
I hate the whole concept of "comeback story" because at the end of the day it doesn't remove the core issue we had in the first place, that we were lied to, it was disappointing and it launched with bare content to what was promised for years.
Any bad game can have a comeback story if it's supported enough after launch but for me if you launch in a terrible state then you had your chance. I can applaud you for what you've done after but at the end of the day there's not much of a choice since most gamers would blank your next product if you ditched your last game so fast, it's not about repairing the game but spending your time repairing gamers trust before you launch your next product otherwise it would be dead on arrival.
With these stories and the games being updated, the only way is up most of the time so of course it's going to improve the game and feel better over all, getting better and better as time passes. No Mans Sky, Sea of Thieves, Fallout 76 etc but then you have games like Anthem, Suicide Squad, Redfall and The Avengers where the devs just clearly moved on, now if they have another product people won't be as exited for it, I mean hell Guardians of the Galaxy was a great game but because of the Avengers it didn't help its sales since people were obviously still sour at that point.
I still think despite the improvements to games like No Mans Sky and Cyberpunk along with being better now overall the games are still not up there to what was promised and hyped as for years.
If we keep celebrating these “comeback stories” then unfortunately it only strongly supports the concept that these studios / publishers can continue to push half arsed broken products out for the sake of quick sales instead of waiting until they are fully finished. We need to condemn this awful behaviour or sadly we lose all voice and power as consumers.
I really enjoyed it at launch and had every trophy by August 2016.
The experience I had is no longer in the game: It was just me and my ship. It was a survival game and the feeling of loneliness in the universe was pervasive. There was no way to ruin too far from your ship and, in an emergency, you grenaded a hole in the ground to survive.
I miss that aspect, but since then, I love what they've done.

Microsoft has been trying to justify the Kinect for years, this is what was produced after 4 years

Still Microsoft tries to ride this device not many gamers even care about to the death.
Not to mention this.

Reminds me out the cloud hype. Microsoft has quite an imagination.
Yes, they sure need to justify the device that set a Guinness Book of World record for The fastest selling consumer electronic device.

Listen to the fanboy responce, too bad they forget that BF4 and The Order 1886 are not 1080p.
Too bad they forget that no PS4 retail exclusive runs at 1080p 60fps like Forza 5
Too bad they forget the list of X1 games running at 1080p or 900p:
X1 native 1080p
Forza
Stryder
NFS
UFC
FIFA
Halo CA
Dying Light
Kinect Sports Rivals
NBA
TombRaider
Rayman
Wolfenstein
Murdered Soul Suspect
900p or close
AC
Ryse
TitanFall
Thief
Watch Dogs
what?
skype, better navigation in menus,"xbox record that","xbox broadcast" Gesture control, some interesting games like kinect sports, and D4, and extra few games with command.
Not enough?
gamers today complain about everything, want everything given with little money,
Also one must justify why a car has a radio, the focus of the car is to walk?
why a plane has wheels, it is to fly? : D
Xbox was taken to give all in one, to have a gaming machine with kinect to stream, skype, and voice and gestus controls, and multi functions, and for some more casual games.
stop crying, and I accepted, whoever buys, who does not want to not purchase.
I miss gaming there 15 years old ago, where there were these ridiculous issues, and accept any console, and it was super praised, was at any price and with what.
nowadays just complain until the price of games complain, they want everything free lool
@ic3fir3
Believe it or not there are people who love the xbox brand but hate having to pay extra for kinect and are holding off on the system until they don't have to pay extra for it anymore.
It's not them expecting free things it's them expecting value for money and at $500 the xbox one though they have much love of xbox isn't good value of money to then simply because the kinect is worthless to them and many gamers.
The article is correct in so far as saying that Microsoft have to prove kinect because if it becomes worth it's perceived value to the consumer base people will want to pay for it. Until either thay happens, a price drop or the removal of kinect, xbox one will struggle to sell as meaningfully as the competition.
Pre Xbox One reveal and launch: "Hahaha, every new ms game is going to be a kinect game"...fast forward to present day: "hahaha Kinect has no games!"
-__- pick a side internet. Kinect does what it is intended to do for the Xbox One.
We complained about the Kinect focus that MS had (I know I did) and now that they are very focused on core games, people want to moan about the lack of content? Do people really want to play more Fable Journey and Fighter Within?
I'd prefer Kinect remain a peripheral controller alongside the regular controller. Fully Kinect games should be left to Harmonix.
What MS need to do is keep improving app integration with Kinect, voice commands to support more languages and use Kinect in every 1st party game as an optional control method, but please no more Kinect exclusives unless they are sports or dancing games.
