Japan, but from the 989
The Xbox was more powerful than the PS2. Nobody really cared. Hell so was the Gamecube. Nobody cared. Microsoft is in the predicament they're in because we're still mostly at the enthusiast stage of the market and the more casuals buyers haven't gotten in yet. Microsoft pissed off many of the enthusiast buyers with that whole DRM fiasco and again with a packed in Kinect for $100 more. The main buyers on the marketplace have been put off to Microsoft so they aren't selling. It doesn't have much to do with 900p vs 1080p.

They could turn this thing around. They probably won't but really it just takes one hot game to catch fire to change everything. Wii Sports for example fukked up the entire last generation.

The writing is on the wall. It will take more than one game to save the system. Even if they pull out a new Halo, Gears of War, or something new, they need to re-brand and re-package the entire system. It's starting price was WAAAYYY to high, then the kintec disaster, and other PR nightmares. I'm waiting on Microsoft to sell off the division if they get beat during Christmas. But this all came from extreme ARROGANCE. Sony had the same problem of thinking they could CONTROL the consumer instead of catering to it when the PS3 first came out. Microsoft is finding out they are not infallible in the best way known to man. Continue to take that L Microsoft.

Nobody is gonna buy the Xbox division even if it was for sale.

Whenever a Microsoft head contemplates making a switch or chucking the Xbox in the bushes, Xbots remind me of femme and the rest of the SOHH mods when 90% of the active users migrated over to thecoli.
Standing on a sinking ship ranting about "defectors," while watching the lifeboats drift off into the golden horizon of the setting sun.

How many people in a non-console war related Internet conversation online have you heard discuss the difference between 900p and 1080p? I've never heard anybody not on an online message forum discuss this and even when it is discussed it's not a real conversation it's somebody trolling or a flame war.

Like I said nobody really cares but internet trolls and fanboys.

More than you think. You forget this is an internet centric world nowadays and this type of shyt spreads faster than ever. When it boils down to it, no one wants to pay more or equal for less. Couple that with the Xbox Suits PR blunders (reinforced last year by retailers, internet, cats at Gamestop), word was out fam.

Some people may not care about "Ps" and shyt (of course if the situation was reversed it'd be another story), but no one wants to feel like they purchased inferior shyt. And the XB1 is a weaker system than the PS4. Is it weak enough to make someone who grew up on Xbox change "sides". Probably not, but there were MANY who were pissed off at the direction/vision of the Xbox last year. That shyt they tried to pull was straight out of a corporate meeting and exposed MS for what they were clearly trying to do. Those Deebo practices they used to make Windows what it is today aren't gonna work now and they're still stuck in that mindset on far too many things as a whole. They think they can come in the game after the fact and slide in policies and shyt, throw money at shyt, and sometimes bully mufukkaz in order to make their shyt the dominant product. They came late in the game with videogames, phones, portable music players, etc. and the only one that really made a dent was the Xbox brand. And they can thank Sony for the PS3 price out of the gate for that shyt.

Bottom line is that many care more than you think. Mufukkaz are online and shyt on their phones, tablets, all the time and these things are talked about. It's a different day and age now

they lost that fire, 900p, NSA cameras, sharing restrictions. nikkas paid full price for the box just for it to drop by like 200 with all the free games thrown into the mix.

Anymore Ls and they gonna jump ship

Earlier adopters of the Larry got shyt on HARD.
