There is, but that has always been the case with MS since the Xbox One release. I would love them to be more like the OG Xbox days, now that was an awesome console with great exclusive titles.
Exactly.
The XBO was the cheaper console after price cuts. The XBO DE was the cheapest console.
Now the Series S is gonna be the one that changes things....
MS has to start actually building momentum for any of their changes to start having an affect. And it looks like that wont happen until Halo Infinite or their exclusives start dropping.
Gamepass started on the XBO...and what did that change?
The One X was the most powerful console when it launched....and what did that change?
As much as Sony's incompetence and confounding decisions should affect them, it doesn't seem it is outside the hardcore community. Microsoft could easily push Sony's terrible policies into the public's conscious, not unlike what Sony did to Microsoft at the launch of XB1. Instead Phil Spencer has just been faithfully plugging away at what his team can control, evolving the entire game industry for the better.
I think Sony would need another '$599 US dollars, get two jobs, riiiiiidge racer, enemy crabs' fiasco to really damage themselves in the eyes of the wider consumer base . While thay seems pretty distant, but it probably is not as far out of reach as any of us would assume under Jim Ryan.
Oh no, MS tried to do this with the whole Smart Delivery thing.
And it fell flat. (it was funny but still) MS has been looking for their 'how to share used games' moment and they can never stick the landing.
I have a theory why, and that's because more ppl care about new/next gen experiences vs anything related to Smart Delivery.
There is a thread where ppl are happy MS didnt try to make a next gen UI, happy with familiarity. There's nothing wrong with that. But what Sony has done with theirs isnt a foreign language. They just wanted something new, fresh. Its still the PS4 UI, with some new features and better store integration.
