they just failed... especially with their early marketing on the X1 (you wouldn't be able to resell, lent, games, etc. Kinect sold with the console for more money, etc).
that's why those numbers are what they are today, and their 2015 or 2016 announcement about exclusive on PC too
that succession of events was litteraly them asking for it and shooting themselves in the foot.
there is a lot of thing Microsoft does better than Sony though if I want to be fair. Retrocompatibility is one huge point for Microsoft. GWG on 360 doesn't require you to keep being gold to play games, more AAA with GWG too
too bad that mostly concern the old gen...
oh BTW, I heard the $199 offer for the X1 S is not permanant?
They made a bit of a comeback over the last 2-3 years
```
If you're interested, we'd suggest action fast as the deal is for a limited time only — Microsoft says it's gonna jump back up by $50 on June 17. That said, Microsoft has a history of issuing "temporary" price drops for Xbox One consoles and then making that price permanent soon after.
```
yeah I remember this, it was a speculation though
it could have been possible on a lot of indie games though but the SDK didn't support it.
oh and the lack of TV that has a native 120FPS didn't made it worthwhile too
most TV with high framerate that you see on the market aren't supporting native 120Hz input
when you enable game mode of those TV you can see that the refreash rate is 60FPS max in 99% of them
even on your super 400Hz Full HD TV from back then
so, if you consider that the HDMI tech back when the PS3 was release didn't support transfer rates supperior to what is needed for 1080p/60 fps, it wasn't a possibility.

"custom silicon" GTFO here with these bullshit buzzwords
:^)
How the fuck can you customise silicon?!
well that's a customized chip with really original stuff in there, not that most of the people understand what it means to have hardware directX optimized instructions....
I customised my steel beams
it just means that it's not a "silicon chip" that's already on the market but that it was customized by microsoft for their console.
You can customise a chip, you can't customise silicon
well not really true, the level and precision of the printing, the architecture of the prints, etc differ from a CPU/GPU to another
also, there's different types of silicon alloy.
it's a buzzword, but it's not like most customers understand all that anyway so they came up with that expression...
I like that the Xbox One X features cutting edge bread saving techniques
lol
low blow

And Sony can’t explain why 4K matters to begin with"
