Do you think next gen xbox consoles will flop ?
Its quite possible but even under phil this gen, xbox has talked more than walk. And the the one was moving on from the 369 which had a very positive position whereas the xbox one currently doesnt (or atleast not to the same degree as the 360) so the xbox series x is already at a bit of a disadvantage. Next month’s event could be the make or break moment for this gen for xbox.Yeah I see.
But if XBOX come with great games ? The balance can change ? (Not surpass PS5 but sales like +60/70M ?)
The question is first party Games really matters ?
Worse sells than the Xbox one? You mean lifetime sells? Seriously? What is this based on? I strongly argue the exact opposite. Especially with significantly more 1st party studios,the most powerful next gen console(no resolutiongate) and budget Lockhart with the biggest console exclusive for any platform launching (Halo Infinite)It will make the loyalists happier than they were with the Xbox One, there's a lot more to shout about this time. Lots of improvements and great services. However it will do worse sales wise than the Xbox One.
Also putting all their games on PC day and date is a mistake if they want to shift units, not that I'm complaining.
Price it $100 less than the PS5 and throw in a free AAA game like Halo Infinite or something else with a big name, maybe include 3 months of gamepass, and it will sell like gangbusters.
if the value proposition is good enough, people will buy one and get the PS5 after the price comes down. My feeling is that Sony may overprice like with PS3.

You make zero sense
What? Price the XSX a hundred dollars cheaper with Halo Infinte? Its the most powerful next gen console with Halo Infinite launching at the same time. MS does not need to do that. XSX will be limited and will sell out at launch either way.
Just having the more powerful console being at the same price as PS5 is a good spot for MS vs 2013 where XB1 was 50% weaker at hundred bucks more.
Halo Infinite will move a ton of consoles as long as it turns out good.
They have lots of those already. Series X is going launch with far more games playable on the system then their competitors. So that surely can’t be it.How about games, yh i think they just need games. You know like thats why we buy one console or another.
Microsoft will do fine. They are likely going to have a lower price and they are going to have 4 generations of games available day one if their backward compatibility works as promised and they also have gamepass which will have a ton of games due to BAckward compatibility . They won’t be number one but Microsoft is playing the long game now developing their ecosystem which is run off the Azure system, which is one of their actual core businesses.
Microsoft is one of the top three companies in the world across all industries, they are valued at 1.3 trillion dollars.. Sony lives or dies by PS5, I want Sony to succeed but people thinking Microsoft won’t have some success this gen are crazy.
July.So then they are bad at presenting them because i dont know them didnt saw yet. Where they are?
Lots indie games where on ps5 too.July.
People want to pretend the big Sony reveal is the same as MS indie reveal in May.
What are they going to show?Lots indie games where on ps5 too.
You have one chance to present new console so do it right.
Sony will show more in july august as well, so well see.
I mean more gameplay not trailers.What are they going to show?
They went almost 2 years out at least on 1st party and almost the entire gen for 1 3rd party.
He's talking about Xbox, not Microsoft. Microsoft is going to be fine. Xbox is a product of Microsoft. You make the point that Sony lives or dies by PS5, that makes it a very important part of Sony. Xbox is small part of Microsoft, that makes its a lot less important. I'm not saying Microsoft is even remotely close to selling off or cutting Xbox, but between Sony and Microsoft, the latter would be much less affected by losing it's video game division. Microsoft won't cut Xbox. Xbox is currently one of the only things that Microsoft has that is "cool."Microsoft will do fine.

Again wait until July to compare.I mean more gameplay not trailers.
Newest xbox trailer shows like 2 games and one of them is ac valhalla. Whats more to say ... so yh waiting fot forza halo maybe fable.
Sony makes most of their money from insurance and financials. They could cut out all their other divisions including gaming and electronics and be a healthier company for it.He's talking about Xbox, not Microsoft. Microsoft is going to be fine.

Based on their 2018 numbers 34.8% of Sony's total operating income for the FY2018 period. I think your statement may have rang truer back before and around the PS3 era, but now days that PS segment is really important to Sony. Losing 30% of your operating income is a MASSIVE hit. Healthier? Maybe a lot less operating cost, but what about all that income?Sony makes most of their money from insurance and financials.

Shit it’s what kept Playstation afloat while they were losing money hand over fist in the PS3 era.

So far I have to agree, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for missteps between now and launch.MS literally can't do any better. They're playing their cards perfectly. I think MS and XBox are going to increase marketshare and mindshare by a considerable margin in 5 years.
I hope it does well. Sony needs competition, and the wider industry in general needs competition. I don't want "arrogant Sony" to come back, either.
I wanted to weigh in on this, because I think some people fail to understand how memeing works.and everyone is making fun of ps5
