Yes the xbox has been on a role recently with their exclusives eg crackdown 3, sea of thieves etc but seriously which console in better shape to have a better 2019?
A low blow here. SoT is a very different game than traditional titles and continues to see good life and success online a year after release.
MS has no place in this thread, they aren’t responsible for Sony’s marketing decisions.
I respect that there is some looking over the fence to see what’s cooking, but that’s not the same as what’s being discussed here.
I’ve stopped posting because this thread is getting extremely PS focused on which my commentary has less value compared to many of you.
But I will say that despite the lack of great 1P exclusives, Xbox fans are not feeling out of the loop.
They know a great deal of what to expect without any announcement of any sort. And despite the lack of GOTY titles, MS has made significant generation changes like Game Pass, Like cross play, and releasing all their exclusives onto competing platforms which are a major milestone changes in a somewhat very traditional model.
I know nothing about the next console except that any controller I own today will work on it. That it will support backwards compatibility for 3 generations prior. Executives are commonly tweeting back to its users and having interviews. They are pushing technologies like DXR and DML which I expect to see in their next console. I know about XCloud, and that’s being announced bey early.
So. Even if none of that matters to a person in terms of values, these are things that have been communicated. I have a very good idea of where MS is headed and I just need to see the execution occur.
Communication isn’t an entitlement from its consumers. I need to be clear. Prior to all of this communication a great deal of rumours would swirl of MS dropping Xbox entirely.
Now, you don’t see a single article about that anymore.
Consider the situation where the only articles are about exiting the market and having a competitor moving full steam ahead. You’re going to cut your losses eventually and switch to what you want.
