Zahi AR. from Link-Cable writes: "As we get ready for the end of our current console generation! 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."

Lame
This is the definition of click bait. The fact the site published an identical piece concerning the PS4 demonstrates they are simply out to use N4G and gamers to generate revenue rather than offer a useful opinion or provide information.

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

_SilverHawk_1845d ago

This is silliness. They didn't win anything

Mr Pumblechook1845d 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.

naruga1844d ago

they won just for Link Cable to create an article

ilikestuff1844d ago

We all lost, this gen was the worst one

bouzebbal1844d ago

They won the last place, where they always belong

TheMuffDiver1844d ago (Edited 1844d ago )

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

TheKingKratos1844d ago (Edited 1844d ago )

#read the title#

Me:
what the fudge ??????

fathertime44641844d 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

1Victor1844d ago

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

DOMination-1844d 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.

darthv721844d 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.

indysurfn1844d ago (Edited 1844d 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.

@ilikestuff

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

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

rainslacker1844d 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

Retroman1844d 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.

Same author and everything. Absolutely shameless. There should be a licence we can revoke over crap like this ha

Muzikguy1844d ago

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

NeoGamer2321844d 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?

GTgamer1845d ago

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

Teflon021844d ago

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

TheKingKratos1844d ago

Pffft, We all know Ouya won this gen hands down

Rimeskeem1844d ago

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

ILostMyMind1844d ago

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

remixx1161844d ago

@Ilost

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

rainslacker1844d ago

Vita had more exclusives than the X1.

Chevalier1844d 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.

badz1491843d ago

hell no! Soulja Boy console won hands down!

Virtual Boy drowned all competition in its tidal wave of overwhelming success.

Drowned in that reddish haze created by the headset. 😂😂

Neonridr1845d ago

Nitrox1844d ago

The Wood1844d ago

Winning from behind award

Regression award

Prestige award

King_Noctis1844d ago (Edited 1844d 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.

rainslacker1844d ago (Edited 1844d 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.

jambola1844d 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

Neonridr1844d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic1844d ago

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

roadkillers1844d 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.

rainslacker1844d 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.

jambola1844d 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.

Zombieburger6381845d ago

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

nowitzki20041844d ago

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

kayoss1844d ago

He took Hydroxycloroquine...

LucidIllusion1844d ago

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

L7CHAPEL1844d ago (Edited 1844d 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.

TheHunter811844d ago

Crack pipe? Definitely not weed.

Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny review - Design of the Times | TechStomper

"Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny feels stuck between 2025 and 2002. Not quite enough of the past to be pure nostalgia, and not enough of the present to feel fresh."
