Well I mean Wii U makes it look like a friggin alien technology, it's not bad at all. I think most fans are just dissapointed since Xbox brand has always been a mark of very powerful console. That was the deal with the OG Xbox especially and for 2005 machine so was 360 and it definately gave PS3 a run for its money with multiplats. The rumors make the console feel powerful but toned down to get that Kinect in there. Probably a good idea but dissapointing for the old Xbox group.
If Microsoft doesn't mention specs then they have pretty much changed for good.
nintendo isnt microsoft
nintendo isnt sony
nintendo is nintendo
thinkin about how much the wii gone good on the market...also sony could follow nintendos way.....make psn a paywall like xbl..etc etc....and being the company in the most economical trouble that "wii way" would fit exactly in their pants...but they didnt....coz their customers know sony as a console for hardcore players....
companies dont change their vision and change direction with a 180*....also if they would most of the time they know they cant
xbox customers (MOST of them) want a powerful console
a console that after 3 years compared with the ps4 (direct rival) would make them still say ...."i did right to buy a xbox"
ms know as everyone in the market know...that casual gamers arent the one that keep the console alive buying every game they put on the market......casual consumer come and go....and ms pointed at them just at the end of the x360 cycle honesly in a stage where the market was stagnat..so was a good GOOD idea...
they will do the same again.....
1-4 years...initially pushing the consoel for the hardcore gamers
then wll start pushing more on the casuals...like they did with the x360
