how much longer will one of the biggest companies in the world last? a while, doesnt really matter if they do well or not
They aren't trying at all.
They actually tried with the Xbox when it was full of exclusives and New original unique IP's like Blinx and Kung Fu Kaos and Mad Dash Racing.
The Xbox 360 was basically just a multiplat machine like the PS3 that only sold because gaming PC's weren't as much of a thing back then.
They literally did not try at all with the Xbox One and I doubt they will with the Xbox Series X.
They make money. Even after the colossal fuck up that was the last 2 gens, they make money for MS.
They've proven you don't need to be the top dog to still succeed as a brand. Xbox is still a household name that's very recognizable. People still buy the consoles. Gamepass looks to also be doing quite well for them. They have their niche and they've filled it.
you forgot
>introduced the paywall cancer to use your internet
>tried (and failed) to impose the worse DRM ever imagined
unless they start this new generation by removing the paywall, they always be the 4th choice
it has Halo mutts
They wont or atleast haven't. They are already moving into the 3rd party world with Xbox studios and releasing games on PC as well.
Xbox dying would unironically be the best thing to happen to video games in a long while since they brought a lot of cancerous business practices like paid online and dudebro shit.
>Free rent since 2001
Microsoft can last as long as they want.
>never won a gen
Beat ps3, that's for sure. But yeah the wii was god like that gen.
You do have to give them props for staying chummy with Capcom, ever since Dead Rising took off Capcom has been very committed to putting every one of their current games on Xbox, hell they used the Microsoft E3 show numerous times to premiere major releases like DMCV and MHW and going back as far DMCIV
Not much longer. The Xbone was a colossal failure almost unparalleled in this industry, it barely sold more than the Wii U, and the Xbone 2 is on track to bomb harder. They have no games. Time and time again it has been demonstrably proven that the ONLY thing that sells a console is the library of exclusive games. Xbox does not have have any. They keep trying to cling to Halo, Forza, and Gears of War as if it's still 2008. Nobody plays or cares about those games anymore, especially not the newer dogshit Halo and Gears games by different dev teams. Halo 5 and Gears 4 and 5 all bombed extremely hard, some of the worst sales of any games this gen. MS doesn't get it and still keeps trying to pretend times haven't changed for them. The thing is, Microsoft as a whole is doing fine, but the Xbox and games Division are just as much of a failure at this point as their attempts at cell phones and tablets were. Sooner or later, their pride will finally give way to rational business sense and they will stop letting this dead brand bleed money. Not too much longer I expect.
>Beat ps3
Nah, 360 came in last.
The PS3 Slim marketing + Uncharted 2 pushed the system hard and by the end it had a million units over the 360.
>it barely sold more than the Wii U,
I stopped reading there
Because you couldn't handle the truth? Not surprised, Xboner. Go ahead and make up some more fake numbers to spam like you sad retards always do. Retailer reports don't lie though, the Xbone never sold even half of what MS claims.
lol they wont ever go away they are backed by microsoft
nigga you need to update that, Microsoft is worth over a trillion
>Because you couldn't handle the truth?
No, because it's not true, I don't know what the point of telling a lie is when you can google the real data.
i thought console war threads weren't allowed
>Beat ps3, that's for sure
>no worth exclusives
>no games past 2009
>paid online
>battery charged controllers
only obese americans believe this desu
are you retarded PS3 is better then xbox 360 because of PS3 slim marketing and uncharted 2?
what the fuck are you talking about
why would anybody want to be on the winning side or care if their piece of plastic sold more than another
The conversation was about who won in terms of sales you colossal retard.
And I just told you there is no real data readily available from Microsoft. Their reported numbers are all confirmed fake. Dumb shill.
It's a good thing I'm just American.
that was never stated
If there's no real data, then you can't be sure that it sold almost like Wii U, right? You're not even coherent with yourself LMAO
>battery charged controllers
why do people say this, the PS3 controller has a battery in at, one you can't swap out and you just need to buy a whole new controller when the battery eventually looses charge, every PS3 controller i have ever had the displeasure of using holds its charge for 10 minutes
Can't buy x360 games on my xbone. Fuck microshit.
>can't siphon away casuals who buy PS for Madden/GTA/Fifa/COD
but they did this with the 360, it was the better multiplat machine
>no worth exclusives
Saints Row 1 and Crackdown 1 were pretty good. Also had better versions of multiplats and RDR1 was pretty much unplayable on PS3 whereas on 360 it ran well all things considered
well it definitely wasn't sony since they sold the ps3 at a loss for years.
I have both BTW so I don't really care about this fight, and I definitely prefer my PS3 becaue of DeS and Infamous collection, but the 360 won that gen easily.
360 had the better launch because the PS3 was badly marketed and had a truly ridiculous launch price. Overtime the 360 got A LOT of shit over RRoDs, eating discs, and Xbox Live problems and it wore them down enough that by the end of Gen 7 the PS3 had more units sold because Sony released the PS3 slim at a competitive price and attached a very well-regarded exclusive to the brand. Throw a shit fit all you want but the 360 was far from the victor of that generation of consoles.
In truth, nobody won Gen 7. The Wii sold the most but was a garbage bin of shovelware with maybe 2 worthwhile games a year, the 360 had a lot going for it but was so cheaply made that it suffered hardware issues its entire lifespan, and the PS3 was a fucking mess of a launch that only got its ass back in order once public opinion had already been cemented.
The guy said Wii won the gen, so it was heavily implied dumbass.
>well it definitely wasn't sony since they sold the ps3 at a loss for years.
I'm not a stockholder so I don't care.
More people bought PS3s. They won.
I will say I’m glad they caved and put most their shit on PC
They turned less of a profit so they lost
