With Microsoft’s recent revelation that it is backing down from its original commitment to release the Xbox One in 21 markets later this year, the firm is betraying a commonly accepted rule of doing business: under-promise and over-deliver.
The new update has arrived and is bringing a star with it.
Today, Destiny 2 developers hosted a livestream where they discussed in detail upcoming core game changes coming alongside The Edge of Fate expansion on July 15.
After playing Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds at Summer Game Fest 2025, I think SEGA has something special and is innovating in the arcade racing world.
They weren't prepared. The Xbox one is a reaction to the Feburary PS4 reveal, I mean they delayed the original reveal....you don't even need a working console to do a reveal since its all concept. So to me that mean they didn't have a clear vision of what the XB1 was going to be and rushed it out in order to keep up with Sony. Now it seems they're not only having yield issues but also hardware.
that is what MS does best, over promise & under deliver while they try to dictate / tell you what you want at the same time.
'With Xbox One, Microsoft is over-promising and under-delivering'
M$ I feel really did not want to get dragged into a next gen cold war they were not prepared for. Now they have been out maneuvered and outgunned by SONY.
Life would have been simpler for M$ if they could have just kept pumping out COD on the 360 for another 2 years at least!
I really can't wait for the system to launch and then get a couple months into the next gen era. Once both systems are launched, games are coming out, then all the talk about which system is better will quiet down. Right now there is nothing better to talk about with the next gen consoles. PS4 and X1, we haven't seen a ton of actual gameplay or in depth previews. There are no games to review. Only accessories are a controller and a handset. No DLC to discuss. And since Sony is quietly sitting in the back of the classroom, Microsoft is the kid raising his/her hand every 2 seconds which annoys everyone. Once they stop making changes and both consoles launch, then we can all go back to debating if COD is better than BF, Forza over GT, this new exclusive is great, etc etc.
Unfortunately websites like N4G which continue to post all this stuff just keeps the theories and rumors alive. Just wait until January when the dust settles, both systems have launched, games are being played, and we won't be discussing and reading about these topics.
Overpromising? No, that would be sony. They are known for that.
