Microsoft has garnered the praise and devotion of many dedicated joypad jockeys, although it has lost some of the early goodwill due to the recent dearth of quality software and its backward compatiblity tardiness.
What Microsoft is yet to prove is that Xbox can attract the kind of broad demographic that Sony garnered over 10 years of PlayStation, and that Nintendo looks likely to regain with Wii.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
I think Microsoft is doing exceptionally well for itself. It has sold 5 million already, and is predicted to sell 10 million by the years end. If you think about it, nearly half of the xbox 1 user base will be gained in 1 year. Keep this up Microsoft and you definately will be more successful this time round.
come on now no competion and why realease everything now so the competitor copy every thing when wii and ps3 luanches then 360 will shine with there second waves of games and accesories come out and live price drops and the bigger hardrive
This is MS's big issue, they need a more family friendly console. Little kids have nothing to play. And while I think Viva Pinata looks good, it is one game.
Right now most gamers out there are 18+ and most kids 14+ love games like Halo. When it comes to Microsoft and Software its unbeatable.
I have no qualms with playing Halo 3 and Gears of War for the rest of my life, but I think diversifying their games will be important because that's someting Sony already has, and Nintendo will be gunnig for. I also think Microsoft know this. Viva Pinatas porbably won't be the only game they'll try to temp kids with, although ironically, it's something I (as a hardcore, anti-singstar gamer) am interested in.
I think the real people they need to enitce with a wide selection of games, are not 12 year olds, but older, much more casual gamers, who think a game like Halo will do their head in by it's alledged complexity.
