"But but but journalists from The Verge told me it's going to take over the world" /s
It's a brand issue, people doesn't associate Microsoft with great products, you see it with their gaming division as well, despite insane marketing, they fail to match Sony both in HW and services (Sony has like 3x more, both, console sales and service subscribers than MS)
We need less of both, Google and Microsoft both want to be in a monopoly position, which is bad
- frou_dh 3y agoFrom what I remember of the Xbox 360 days it was seen as a great console vs. the PS3, and the Xbox Live service was seen as far superior, and was popular.
- WhereIsTheTruth 3y agoX360 released 1 year before the PS3, online gaming was booming, same era as WoW and the PSP, released 1 year earlier, was just as good and was the one to popularize online live services, it released with a web browser and online store! and sold as much as the X360, then the PS3 came 1 year later, after the X360 and catched up X360: 84m PS3 87m X1: 58m PS4:117m Xbox (X/S): 25m PS5: 50m (ongoing) Stats and numbers doesn't lie, people didn't stick with what Microsoft had to offer, not good enough
