Microsoft is Still Winning the Lead Up to Next-Gen | Link-Cable

All part of the plan.

www.link-cable.com

The dawn of the ninth generation of video games is upon us. Slowly but surely, both Sony and Microsoft have been revealing details on their upcoming projects. Teasing us with bits of information, sometimes mundane, sometimes cryptic but always interesting and sure to get the gaming community speculating on what might be being worked on behind the scenes. So when Microsoft announced Xbox 20/20, a series of events designed to drum up excitement for the Xbox Series X, almost everybody was excited to see what they would show off. Surely the first proper next-gen event of them all would be a smash hit and drive pre-orders for the Series X through the roof right?

The inaugural event in Microsoft's Xbox 20/20 tour may have landed with the force of impact of a ball of socks hitting a pillow when it was intended to be a megaton level showcase for the power of the next-generation console, but even this stumble has not slowed the house of Xbox one bit. It may have seemed like a ridiculous thing a few months ago, looking at the lack of major first party support for the Xbox One as a strength in 2020 but it does seem like Microsoft is playing its hand well at this point in the lead up to the next-generation. Of course the story of the race between the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X is only just starting to be written but as it stands, Microsoft is a chapter or two ahead while Sony is struggling with the introduction.

It's not hard to win when the competition has done pretty much nothing yet.

 

[Bjones]

i dont think anyone is "WINNING" anything at this point. or ever...

 

[zombiejames]

"Wining the lead-up"? So this is what we're doing now?

 

[Nakenorm]

Link-cable.com?

But yeah, they kinda are.
I still see more hype for PlayStation usually though, but maybe that's because of last week.

Pretty much how I feel about this.

 

[Mad_Rhetoric]

Well yeah, they do currently look better

Jesus console wars are so stupid

 

[Gamer17]

I agree .MS has been great for lead up to next gen and I appreciate the transparency with fans. Gamers are wining imo

Echoes of 2012-13

Not by likes on instagram

Spoiler

:P

I'd say they were until Inside Xbox and the Unreal Engine 5 demo.

 

[Stoopkid]

Is this like the pre season the Xbox guys use to trout out?

 

[learning]

There is no "winning"

I've literally never heard of this website before

 

[DieH@rd]

What is Biogamer Girl saying?

 

[Lant_War]

Who the hell are link cable

 

[CelestialAtom]

Nothing has really happened (other than the economy taking a huge hit), so I don't think anyone is winning anything -- especially during a pandemic.

 

[Adulfzen]

the only way to measure success for either of those consoles is how well they're gonna sell so saying one platform is "winning" seems meaningless at this point as long as you can't preorder them.

 

[stersauce]

console war never changes

 

[Dr. Lucien Sanchez]

I don't want to be that person, but what even is link cable? Do we need random articles that just flame console wars?

 

[Toriko]

imagine having to scrouge sites like link-cable to fuel console wars.

 

[PJV3]

Lol, i like daft shit like this.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

I don't know, I feel like Microsoft are trying to get the hype train going, only for Sony to do next to nothing and get a massive boost in engagement.

Like Sony have released a logo, controller, specs and had their hardware used to showcase a multiplatform engine and the thirst is clearly there.

 

[Apathy]

This is as dumb as "and announcement for an announcement"

 

[Xbox Live Mike]

Who? Seems like click bait article time of the season.

 

[Gay Bowser]

All it takes is Sony to have one event in June that shows the look of the box and first-party titles and suddenly they'd be ahead of Microsoft in the race to reveal next-gen stuff.

And I think it is very likely that Sony will have an event in June that shows the look of the box and first-party titles.

Why do people cheer on one company over the other?
Hold both of their feet to the fire and we as consumers will win.

 

[riotous]

Hmmm... but adapter-dongle.com said PS5 was winning.. who to believe?

 

[Xeonidus]

This is like my toddler asking me to race when I tell him I'm busy making dinner. He proceeds to run anyway then claims he wins.

Yeah, I guess you did win?

lol

 

[Cthulhu_Steev]

I guess we're at that stage already then, feels like 2013

 

[Yerffej]

Jesus

 

[Super Barrier]

The site has zero comments on any of their other articles. Why would OP think this one from a low traffic site be worthy of a thread?

HDMI cable told me Next gen PCs are winning the battle.

There is more hype for PS no matter what they talk or show , it get views and talk about a lot .
But that is expected since the brand much stronger and the user base much bigger .
Still aside from that i really don't know what you can call winning at this stage .

Link-cable? More like Lock-thread.

No good can come of this discussion.
