Many of my Japanese friends on play station network are all joking on this trailer. They say it is unrealistic because there are hot girls watching a gaming tournament and that they play a vita.
Wonder what is the theme song though of the trailer? I do wonder about the Xbox community in Japan. Many of my friends there do not know of it. |

Well yeah, it is unrealistic. But unrealistic in a good way. Sony is going for the "impossible but still desirable" angle. Technically it is more realistic as an ad than other Sony adverts, which are far more fantastical with dragons and what not.

In short, the "TV features" MS had been spending all its time advertising would only be available in America and Japan in the immediate future. And the fact that Japan doesn't even have a release date, means it is just USA. This is just bad. Obviously many people don't care about the TV features, but the fact is MS is spending advertising dollars promoting a features that does not work out of the States. This means they are not able to promote the console internationally properly. The fact that they are admitting there isn't any way to make it in time, suggest that they were truly rushed in releasing the Xb1. They just weren't ready in making deals with UK and the rest of European broadcasters. Seriously, selling a "vision" is no more than selling a fantasy. It is just like when PS3 was selling the idea that it was the most powerful console, when the reality was that Cell was a handicap. People care about the fact they they can't do what the TV ads are promising. And MS doesn't have any other advertising slogans to replace it.

MS has stated in the article that they have given up getting it done by release, and that they are already planning for the time when the Xb1 get a discount. The idea is that the first adopters don't care about the TV features, while the console is still too expensive for casual TV watchers. So MS is counting on the increase in sales after a year or two when they cut the price and hopefully, by then the TV features would finally be available in other countries. As I say, there is technically nothing wrong with that. What IS wrong is that their main marketing push revolves around the TV integration. They are promoting a feature that is available nationally but nowhere else, and that is a very inefficent marketing strategy.

To make it worse, the marketing began too early, before they realise they couldn't deliver on release. If the interview is suggesting that MS is counting on a PS3-style revival, in that they would get their customers back in two years, good luck to them. But it just seems like they are better off not releasing this machine at all until it is feature complete.

The 2 years after plan is full of flaws however, this is not the previous generation of gaming systems. I don't think this 2 years plan will work. Neither plan will unlikely work. They can however still maintain second place in gaming consoles at least. |

I wonder how Microsoft will confront the PS4 Deep Down. That game by itself it convincing customers to steer away from Xbox 1. A game that is free and resembles the Elder Scrolls and Dark Souls, hard to beat a game like that.

In a way I can see where they're coming from: F2P + Capcom = -$$$ The stage is set for Deep Down vs Ryse.

As for Ryse and Deep Down, we only seen small aspects of each game. Though I am leaning towards Deep Down, there is a sense of a Fantasy realm that sets it apart from Ryse. As much as I love Rome, I rather kill something more than Humans. |

Capcom and Sony needs to clear the air on the scheme that they plan to use for Deep Down, Extra Credits can provide some examples of game F2P plans.
Ryse on the other hand... I don't know, it's too late to do any real thing about their combat system so they have to bet on their single player campaign.

By the way, has anyone try to experiment the new upgraded Xbox 1 GPU with the PS4 with gaming benchmarks? While early yes, but if someone from a big name website wanted to they can configure a PC to match the specs of each Gaming consoles or close to it and do benchmarks of current games. One was done before the upgrade on August which was this one in July has another surface yet? |
