10 years in and Microsoft has still yet to make a profit on the xbox or ever win a generation.
The PS4 is decimating the xbone in sales
Microsoft investors are demanding that Microsoft dump the xbox brand, because its been nothing but a money sink
No matter how much money you think Microsoft as a whole has, they wont continue to keep waisting money on the xbox division.
Yet some still think Playstation is in a much worse position
The xbox is on its last legs and frankly, it would be good for all gamers if the xbox finally went into obscurity.
-Rememeber RROD. Greatest electronic failure in the history man kind. Microsoft KNOWINGLY released faulty hardware upon the millions of RROD victims. Was awful.
-Microsoft with the 360 also introduced charging for basic online gameplay....
But what was really awful about that was that online gameplay was basically the only main feature of xbox live and it was hidden behind a pay wall fee
(At least current PSN+ offers far more value and offers MORE then just online gamplay)
-Microsoft with the 360 also introduced the DLC money cash grubbing craze.
-Microsoft with the 360 introduced such generic cookie cutter cinematic movie type linear shootbang franchises such as Gears and Halo
But when you look at the last gen, Microsoft relied mostly on multi-plats, which by the way, that wont work this time because multi-platform games will always be superior on PS4.
- Over 90% of the 360 library consisted of multi-plats that were on PS3....the rest of the 360 library consisted of nothing but repetitive, boring generic, lackluster sequels of Gears/Halo/Forza/Fable rehashed to death on damn near yearly cycles....oh throw in some obscure Kinect and XBLA titles....and that was about it....
- So all in all, Microsoft with the 360 brought with it the attitude that exclusives dont matter and quality isnt important.
The xbox 360 has had one of the worst pathetic exclusive libraries of all time.
-Microsoft has done much more HARM to the industry over all, and thats still not even counting what they have currently "brought to the table" with their pathetic and anti-consumer xbone machine...We will get into that in a little
When it came to eveything that truly mattered to gamers the PS3 was king. The variety, quality, and diversity of PS3 exclusives simply could not be touched....Ok, here we go...
-We already know how much of an utter joke the xbone is....its the same price yet 50% weaker then a PS4....gaming is a secondary focus on the xbone.....kinect is still a spy cam...etc
-Then there is the fact Microsoft even tried to take away consumer rights. If they had had their way, always online and DRM would be the standard.....so thank god even more now for Sony and the PS4! That was COMPETITION AT PLAY.
-So yeah, like I was saying, honestly, it would be much better for us all if the xbox brand just died off or was written off into obscurity....Microsoft doesnt have a clue what they are doing and they have always been viciously anti-consumer and anti-gamer (proven again and again by their actions)
-Plus all the Microsoft shills, and all the FUD they try to spread.....and all the BS politics Microsoft has brought into gaming etc...Microsoft is responsible for everything thats ugly in gaming....Microsoft needs to be exterminated already...Somebody else needs to step in in Microsoft's place OR Sony should be left to do their thing while Nintendo does theirs...PS1 and PS2 eras were some of the best ever and those eras had little to no competition....
-The PS4 has had no competition from the xbone and the PS4 is still the best gaming console ever....etc...."competition" hasnt been a good thing....it sounds good on paper but in reality it hasnt been the case...Saying the xbox brand is good for competition is like saying Hitler was good for the competition he "offered" to Europe etc
