Halo, and Gears happened naturally. I think the next big thing will happen naturally. The most MS can do is have faith in their devs and let them continue to make whatever they want to make.
I don't need BC. Just re-package the games and resell them to me over and over again and call it a remaster. Seriously, BC should be a standard feature. It has nothing to do with a company console sales. BC should be basic standard feature.
I love it when conventions are broken. That peaks my interest the most. That's a bold design. I don't mind so long as it's whisper quiet.
I would have loved it if the stock controllers were customisable. I really miss convex sticks. We've never seen any console in the past that looks like a PC tower. So yeah, this is a first. I don't see Sony following suit. It's too late in the game to make changes to their design. I wonder what the PS5 will look l...
Here's how Series X can win... me over. Release games I cannot resist. I already know they will have hardware and features on lock. I'll leave the 'console war' stuff to you guys.
There's not a lot to talk about when it comes to next gen so I can see why a big deal is being made out of something as simple as the name of the console. There's a thirst for next gen content.
And that is where the power of marketing comes in. Marketing will distinguish the Series X from the One family.
The Wii U tablet was being pushed heavily which made it seem like an accessory to the Wii. The Series X has no gimmicks. It's just another traditional console that looks nothing like the Xbox One family. Different look, different price tag and whole new marketing.
I'm all for change. No one expected it to look anything like this. I bet we all had the traditional console look in mind. That thing must be beastly. I'm cool with the name too. Series X. The look of the console and the word Series sets it apart from the X ONE family.
You can pit Nintendo against the other two as much as you like. They are simply doing their own thing. They will always have their juggernaut in-house software therefore they'll be fine. They even released a 9th gen system when they wanted to.
Nintendo don't play by traditional rules anymore. Sorry.
