Good thing I couldn't care less about sales and they have no affect on my purchase whatsoever.

When the consoles get shyt I want, I'll cop. Simple as that.
U should care about sales because sales matter. Ask dreamcast owners or majority of Wi U owners. Low sales can stop production of ur fav console (Sega Saturn)Or developers don't see the point of making games for the console (vita). So yea sales matter big time. Not to say the X1 would meet that fate. It's just not looking great. Even tho the X1 is a hit. Perception trumps reality :yeshrug:

If Microsoft drops out Sony will become an effective console monopoly. Nintendo isn't a alternative to Sony. If in over a decade Microsoft couldn't get Xbox to a comfortable level no other company is gonna be eager to step into the console market after watching all the money Microsoft threw at this to no avail.

Bluray was the right decision though in the PS3. It killed them at the beginning, but it ultimately was the right decision IMO and it showed. We needed a bigger storage medium than DVD.

Gamertag idea came from Steam. Even the service of Live was technically. All Steam and Sega Channel to an extent. MS vision my ass. :camby:

Because of them mufukkaz, we had to start paying for online multiplayer and because of their decision to use DVDs in the 360 we got this DLC nonsense started. While Live did bring some good things to the table, paying for online multi when most games are peer to peer is a fukking joke that we are stuck with now. Live by itself should have been a perk of having an Xbox.

If they go down, :manny:

Tough break for em, but :clap: for em.

Steam started in 2003 while Xbox Live started in 2002. XBL came first, and was essentially a pioneer in the universal online infastructure system that DIDN'T go under (Dreamcast, I love you :mjcry: but that's an L :pachaha:) They had this planned in the Xbox's inception. SegaNet bombed hard in Japan because a) no one had a Saturn and b) the Dreamcast was an L to the god PS2. :wow:

What was the alternative to Xbox Live at the time of it's inception? Some wack 'online' functionalities that were never fully developed in the entirety of the PS2's life and early in the PS3's life up until PSN? Do you blame them for the price? There was NOTHING like it at the time, of course the competitors wouldn't make the same mistake and all of that easy money floating in the air :manny:

DLC was happening way before the 360's inception, as I vividly recall buying DLC for Halo 2 and Ninja Gaiden Black. 360 popularized it, sure, and YES there are some scummy practices regarding DLC but this 'bawwww why don't they sell it as a full game' entitlement bullshyt that's preached by motherfukkers who don't know a GODDAMN thing about game development.

Seganet is the Godfather of Live no doubt.

Still shouldn't be paying for online multiplayer for overwhelming majority of games played peer vs peer.

Live did that....so now we gotta pay for that. :beli:

Wonder when they gonna abandon the one?

I know I would be pissed if I bought a day one Xbox One. I'm glad I didn't buy one.
One of my friends that I play a few PC games with claims the Xbox One isn't struggling and shyts on anything on the PS4. What's crazy is he pirates games on the PC and later buys the same game on the Xbox One :snoop:.

Its gotten to the point I don't even talk about video games with the dude. Every time I show him articles with facts and statistics he goes into denial and tries to come up with some stupid excuse as to why the Xbox One will bounce back. It gets old very quick.
Is your friend @PS4 ?

It must really hurt to have to admit Microsoft did anything for console gaming. Especially if you wanna compare PSN and it's influences to Sega's online offerings.

It's one thing to dislike Microsoft as a company. It's another to dislike them so much you try to irrationally marginalize what they've done for console online gaming when it's clear what they did. The home console experience with all the extra functionality baked in and the unified online gaming with central servers cross game messages and chat and an online store front that was Microsoft's doing. Sony could have done it first but didn't care to.

The Xbox got demolished by the PS2. The Xbox 360 outsold the PS3 in the US. The Xbox One is behind the PS4.

Even with the Xbox 360 handily outselling the PS3 in the US the global sales between them are pretty close to even.

You guys are right the Xbox is good for competition when Xbox adds something new then it puts pressure on Sony to add something. We already get a fukking ps4 update one every 6 months if there was no Xbox these nikkas would be sitting back giving us a update once every other year

Thats cool breh. Its also completely irrelevant as we are having a discussion about sales and market strength between Sony and Microsoft, not your personal preferences.
