Microsoft might very well take it on the chin even harder in the next generation than they did in this one. Why?
Off the top of my head:
I love my Xbox One X, and the Series X looks quite good, but the more I look at the dynamics this time around, the worse I think it gets for Microsoft.
Huge thanks to Don Mattrick and his horrendous regime for relegating a promising brand to the ash heap of history. Pricks.
Off the top of my head:
- Two Xbox systems, with one that sucks, creating consumer confusion and developer disgust
- Sony's 1st party dominance.
- Sony buying experienced AAA developers like Insomniac, instead of "plucky" little squads like Obsidian and Ninja Theory.
- Sony's BC looks to be the real deal...and then some if you read the tea leaves.
- A very good chance that 343 mucks up Halo: Infinite.
- Xbox One has irreparably damaged the brand.
- Nintendo is back and better than ever, and can differentiate themselves from Sony in ways that Microsoft can only dream of.
- Europe and Japan aren't interested in Xbox.
- 11 vs 9 teraflop difference will not be as pronounced as 6 vs 4 was this time--and it's not like the PS4 Pro was a bad machine or anything.
- The PC will get all the big Xbox games, and a PC is likely a better investment for power-crazed gamers.
