If Microsoft never wasted time/money/effort with Kinect...

[duncanthetall]

Would they still be on top of this console shyt? I'm thinking yeah, possibly. They diverted all sorts of resources and teams like Rare to making Kinect only shyt. It hasn't exactly worked out for them and there has yet to be a single Kinect title that's truly worth playing.

I think.....they should seriously just cut their losses and stop supporting the shyt.

 

[Mr. Somebody]

They wanted to compete with Apple tv and kept short sighted goals which caused them to lose their base and now, its over.

Wouldn't you need to have and use a Kinect to have an opinion on it first
And they bought RARE for 350million. To put things into perspective for you?
3quarter 2013, Microsoft MADE 6 BILLION DOLLARS
Microsoft profits increase to over $6 billion in Q3 2013 despite flat Windows revenue | The Verge

They make 10Billion a year off of Andriod patents.. a year bruh. And that will reach as high as 15bill by 2017
The shyt you THINK they doing.. wasting money
They not even spending like that. Sony is the company that is investing in companies and losing money
Microsoft learned it better to work WITH companies and help fund titles they believe in
Titanfall... Sunset Overdrive..There relationship with Turn 10, Remedy, Lionhead Studios
Then when companies get too big for them like Bungie or Epic, if they wanna do other stuff?
If the property is popular, they'll buy them. Halo and Gears are the fruits of those partnerships

Sony simply isn't for developers in this days climate. They can be, but they not leading the charge
Naughty dog is losing employees left and right because of SONY. Not any other reason
So please, attempt to know what the hell you talking about if you gonna make a thread on the subject

Then they would just make a pc.

The race would be neck and neck. Luckily they have Phil Spencer in charge now who knows what the fukk he is doing and bring the xbox brand back from the near deathblow that Don Mattrick and his crew delivered.

 

[Lord Scion]

Didn't some Rare employees just hit the bushes due to Kinect Sports Rivals being a flop? All those IPs MS is sitting on via Rare just catching dust.....

 

[BasedPrime]

Nah man, M$ will never sit on the throne. This will be their last console

What do you think Phil will do for M$ (I have no idea)
And are you now going to accept the whole "STEAM" model XBL is going after?
You was hating on it bigtime when they first announced everything. Its still going down
Next month, games with gold and deals on gold launches. Specially marked retail games will be going at a heavy discount every month now
I'm not sure if you check XBL on 360 much, but they have new older AAA titles for $5 every week
Only a matter of time before that happens on XB1. I'll buy Forza and Ryse for $15

How about you drop a link instead of tossing out whatever lie comes to mind

you still had the price issue and the fact of what they were trying to do. Gotta remember 1)system would still be weaker even if it came without Kinect costing 399 2) The shyt they were trying to pull with their online drm shyt and 3) even with a year start and 9 million lead, they still ended up in last place last gen.

Cutting a guy who didn't wanna make the types of games M$ wants them to make is not gonna "change" if another K.Sports gets made

And what dude was saying is dude got fired cuz K.Sports flopped. But K.Sports Rivals was in the latest top 10 games sold chart so yes.. nikka is posting lies

Buying Rare was a terrible idea considering everyone knew they weren't shyt without Nintendo input.

And didn't they start losing staff members as soon as they went to MS though? They never really had a shot.
