Warning: Shameless self shchilling, I said this 7 pages back:
Microsoft started this generation out with the assumption theyd roll sony in north America, had the benefit of the doubt from almost all third parties, had Marketing deals with:
-Call of Duty,
-Fifa,
-Battlefield 4,
- Fallout 4,
-The witcher 3
-Dark Souls 3
- The first look at next metal gear solid 5, which they lied and said it was exclusive
-and had Titanfall and Rise of the tomb raider as full blown exclusives.
-And first party exclusives like Halo 5, Quantam Break, Ryse, Killer Instinct, Spark, and Forza.
All of this was in the first 2 years of this generation. And they still shit the bed.
This time their dealing with a Sony that has a:
- 2:1 lead world wide
-doubled up on exclusives,
-Japense developers seeing 90:10 sales splits and
-western third parties seeing 60 to 70 splits,
-and unlike the ps3-ps4 transition, a much healthier sony financially than they were before.
As for cloud streaming, Sony bought onlive patents and Gaikia for streaming back in 2015. The idea sony isn't preparing for streaming is ridiculous.
Of course Microsft will do better next gen, they couldn't do worse. Time will tell what the power of infinite money can do though.
