Both Sony and Microsoft have made impressive consoles this generation, both with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One respectively. Today we will be looking back on who won this console generation, comparing which console truly came out on top. Today we will look at how Microsoft’s Xbox One was the winner."

Here Link-Cable, you dropped this: 💁‍♂️ /s

_SilverHawk_1837d ago

This is silliness. They didn't win anything

Mr Pumblechook1837d ago

This is the worst kind of clickbait. The Xbox One has got some great things going for it but on any metric, even the most loyal fanboys, would never claim it won this generation on any level. So an article like this is deliberately disingenuous and has been written to get clicks by controversy. This crap devalues the site.

naruga1837d ago

they won just for Link Cable to create an article

ilikestuff1837d ago

We all lost, this gen was the worst one

bouzebbal1837d ago

They won the last place, where they always belong

TheMuffDiver1837d ago (Edited 1837d ago )

Um excuse me....they won 3rd place sir.

#read the title#

Me:
what the fudge ??????

fathertime44641836d ago

It's a crap read, but it more states what xbox got right. I'm an xbox guy, but the only thing xbox won this gen was much needed new and better leadership and a kick in their paints to unstick their heads from their asses. So they won something I guess

1Victor1836d ago

@silver they won bronze medal with 3 competitors 🤷🏿‍♂️😉 ✨

DOMination-1836d ago

As an owner of an Xbox One I can safely say the only thing going for it is Ori and Forza Horizon 3 & 4. This generation has been absolute tripe for Xbox.

darthv721836d ago

As an owner of a Day One, One S, One SAD and One X I can say the only thing xbox won was $$ from my bank account for all the controller and console variants they made. Same goes for the PS4.

indysurfn1836d ago (Edited 1836d ago )

I will save you a click summary on why the 'won' /sarcasm

Oh wait they won for having four versions of the console? One being SAD edition?

They won because they got the most money out of rent-to-never-own gamers. Got it /s

( EDIT I will admit this point they won on BC backwards compatibility.competition is good!)

They won because blu ray player? Winning is the winner get the large amount of the prize money. Or sales. I think Sony got the large amount of the money. Bringing up second passing xbox is SWITCH starting 3 years! late worldwide. Oh NOW I get it....they won last PLACE!........again.

“ We all lost, this gen was the worst one”

You must have only played an XBox One this console generation, huh? Poor feller...

rainslacker1836d ago

They won that award a couple years in a row for being the highest spender in marketing. That was for MS as a whole, but let's give xbox something

Retroman1836d ago

No Microsoft will NEVER win Any console war....long as Sony involved.

What's funny is Link-Cable also submitted another story at the same time as this one titled 'Why PS4 won this generation'. So they couldn't decide and just figured they'd shotgun some options and see what sticks. Sad.

Muzikguy1836d ago

A crazy article like this and they expect people to read and believe it? 😂😂

NeoGamer2321836d ago

Anyone thinking XB won this generation is delusional.

They lost the generation fair and square.

Then, spent the back half of the generation preparing for this next generation.

Don’t stop there. Where’s the “Why the Wii U won this generation” article?

GTgamer1837d ago

What the hell you talking about we all know the vita won this generation 😭😭

Teflon021837d ago

Well Vita outsold Wii U apparently so atleast it won something. Well I wish it was a win :'(

TheKingKratos1837d ago

Pffft, We all know Ouya won this gen hands down

Rimeskeem1837d ago

Let's be honest, the true winner is the Ouya.

ILostMyMind1836d ago

Vita was the 3DS competitor from last handheld generation. And it lost.

remixx1161836d ago

@Ilost

Lol nobody said it did beat the 3DS, why you get so defensive.

rainslacker1836d ago

Vita had more exclusives than the X1.

Chevalier1836d ago

Lol. Guys Google Stadia lit the world on fire. So there's the biggest win all generation. I even know 1 person who bought one personally.

Winning from behind award

Regression award

King_Noctis1837d ago (Edited 1837d ago )

They also had another article titled “Why the PlayStation 4 Won this Console Generation”. My take after reading this article is that a console can win in multiple ways (such as service), not just in sale, at least based on the author.

rainslacker1836d ago (Edited 1836d ago )

That's a fine idea, but MS services are not completely console based, except maybe XBLG, which is usually won by number of subs(based on last gen), and they aren't ahead in that area.

If the article was titled what MS has done well this gen, that'd be different, and the article apparently is more like that. But the title is complete click bait.

jambola1836d ago

but that's like i saying i was the winner
because i put the most ps4's/highest quality of ps4 in my house

Neonridr1836d ago

true, but outside of showing that Game Pass actually has some value, I am hard pressed to see what they did right this gen. Nintendo at least came back from the Wii U debacle and proved they can make intriguing hardware (even if it doesn't directly compete with the big boys). Sony just had the right mindset for this gen from the start. MS relied too much on the 360's success and assumed it would follow.

FinalFantasyFanatic1837d ago

A participation trophy, "congratulations! At least you guys tried".

roadkillers1836d ago

I think they set themselves up for a Microsoft victory with the cloud (most games have cloud integration). The Xbox One didn’t win, but their services are pushing ahead.

rainslacker1836d ago

The undying devotion of their fan boys?

Seriously though, they did some good things, but by no metric can someone say they won, even if they really tried to change metrics to make MS a winner.

jambola1836d ago

that's good
i'm glad people here know better than to actually click this crap

I know Weed is legal is a lot of states now, but perhaps you should reevaluate your consumption levels and take a break.

Zombieburger6381837d ago

Weed? Weed wouldn't do this. The author of this article was clearly on meth.

nowitzki20041837d ago

If you think weed did this then you have never smoked weed.

kayoss1836d ago

He took Hydroxycloroquine...

LucidIllusion1836d ago

Don't defame weed like that cause it don't make you brain dead. PCP seems to flow strongly within this one.

L7CHAPEL1836d ago (Edited 1836d ago )

it depends on how stupid you are to begin with, but I know people that smoke weed that are brainless,
the weed (today's weed) this Gene spliced hydroponic killer shit?
ain't helping .
how powerful a drug is contributes to its negative aspects as well as its positives.

Crack pipe? Definitely not weed.

Lots of Improvements Coming to MythForce on June 26

"First-person roguelikes like Gunfire Reborn and Roboquest can be quite fun when done well. Another such game is MythForce, which comes from Beamdog, the developer that brought Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 to modern platforms (while mostly ditching the co-op). MythForce features cartoon-like visuals and a fantasy theme, making it quite different from most of its peers. It will soon reach its "final form" via the upcoming Version 1.2 update," says Co-Optimus.
