Not being able to load games to external hard drives at launch is a much bigger deal.

IF MS wants to win this war they need to act like they can win.

Microsoft did have a vision for the Xbone going in, but that vision died a horrible death at E3. All of the announcements and policy changes since then have been an attempt to stave off disaster. Heck, Microsoft is in enough trouble just trying to launch in November. I don't think that they're even contemplating the idea of winning at this point. Showing Halo is a good way of securing gamers who might have drifted to PS4 instead. It's part and parcel the reason why Microsoft announced games that were in no shape to be shown yet. The problem with this strategy is that they have had nothing to announce since then, leaving Sony alone to talk about cool things at Gamescom, PAX, TGS, etc.

The last thing Microsoft need is people start speculating that this is just a rouse to bring back attention to the system and Halo 5 isn't near ready until next Holidays next year or even 2015. I find it hard to believe that Halo 5 is ready for 2014. Halo 4 started production in 2009 and it wasn't until 2012 it was finish. The announcement of Halo 4 was on June 6, 2011 a good two years of production before announcement. It has been less than a year and they already announce Halo 5. They better hope this isn't like the The Last Guardian of the PS3. |

The Last Guardian has the same problem as Versus XIII: not enough people working on the game. This won't be a problem with Halo as 343i has hundreds of developers, and I'm sure that Microsoft will pull in more people if they feel the need to do so.

After that, the Xbone doesn't have much in the way of follow-up games until Titanfall hits in May-June. As Microsoft resorted to announcing games at E3 that don't even have titles yet, it's likely that anything else they're up to are going to be 2015 titles. In the PS4 camp, they'll have lots and lots of indie and Free-to-Play titles in that same period, with Infamous and probably the Order. And Sony will be continually announcing all of the new titles that they haven't even been hinting at throughout this entire period. I wouldn't be too surprised if the Xbone is considered an also-ran even before Titanfall lands. I believe that Gears of War belongs to Epic as well. It's just that these titles are associated with Microsoft, and they have some prominence. To be fair, it's indicative of just how big Sony's advantage is in internal IPs: Gran Turismo, God of War, Uncharted, Jak and Daxter, Rachet and Clank, Little Big Planet, the Last of Us, Infamous, and on and on.

*Yes it's rumored to be a year timed exclusive, most people aren't waiting a year, yes there's a 360 version, it will be an inferior port, VITA has FIFA 14 if you want to look @ it that way lol. Yes it's on PC, how's the sales of COD on PC compare to consoles? |

I mean, the argument is that it supposedly happen all the time and as such isn't a big deal. Yet we have Sony as contrast, who had the hardware finalised months ago and didn't see the need to give updates because they feel they are comfortable with their final product. No, Sony didn't tell us their clock speed. But they don't need to. Because Sony is giving off an aura of confidence, and as such the same confidence reaches the customers. Is it Justified? Who knows. But we know MS has to work a lot harder to do promotions.

It is going to be chaos once launch start, many people will be edging to get their systems. They of coarse are the hardcore gamers, however the majority of regular gamers or casual gamers will be coming to get their system within that two week period. Within those two weeks there will be the reviews of each system (there may be early reviews though not many) by both gaming websites and their experts and consumer reviews (us the buyers). Finally, there is the "invisible hand" in gaming by of coarse those who only own their game systems at launch will undoubtedly be the strongest of force to which company gets the most success. The first buyers will give their impression of each system to their closest friends which will either result in buying the system or not. Then, like women's gossip, spreads fast by voice, emails, twitter or whatever means. For Sony and Microsoft, their biggest worry to their profits and investment is this two week period. Whoever wins the two week period, wins for the long term. In my opinion. |
