Ever since the reveal of their upcoming system, the PlayStation 4, they have managed to set the bar in the eyes of the public of what to expect from the next generation of console gaming. As a result Sony’s eternal rival, Microsoft, is going to have to work fast if they are going to get their own next generation system into the spotlight.
According to “The Next Web.com,” and “Geek.com,” it would seem that due to Sony’s unexpected reveal, Microsoft has pushed up the timetable in revealing their next generation console, “the Xbox 720”, to next month as opposed to waiting to E3 as originally planned. While it makes sense from a company standpoint to try and sway the competition, you have to wonder if the new console is ready to perform. Microsoft won’t win points with anybody with a product that is rushed out the door. Other information on this new console is not too much more than rumors at this point due to the fact that Microsoft has not been able to officially reveal it yet.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."
Year 9 in Rainbow Six Siege brings Deimos, ACOG sights with new grips, and an interesting roadmap for the upcoming seasons.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a love letter for all Suikoden fans; it embraces the classic essence and doesn't succumb to modernity.
MS have to do something, or I am afraid it will be to late for them to win, especially since the path that MS is taking is going away from gamers it doesn't look good. Sony are putting the pedal to the metal and tbh they deserve a first place standing this gen. They worked really hard with everything.
Win what? What is there to win?
A stoopid console war made up by 12 year olds?
They are ready when they want and when they are ready, i'll buy it.
The vast majority of us have personally experienced what happens when a console manufacturer rushes to market and nobody wants a repeat of that.
I think MS should take a deep breath, accept that Sony may have beaten them to the punch on this occasion, then concentrate on bringing us the beat games machine they can in a sensible time frame.
My bet is MS is only concerned with E3 and the general consumer response. If they get a positive one there, the gaming media will just jump on their bandwagon. Any gamer reaction will be secondary at best.
And of course those already pro-Xbox will continue to be so.
