Right now ms just needs to steady the ship with good softwares and not think about getting even with the Ps4 because that's impossible at this point this gen

Sales wise, i agree. Just show up and have a good conference... Well all show up and do well;)

vegasgamerdawg2524d ago (Edited 2524d ago )

I just wish more people knew Sony and MS have a different business models. They're main goal is to grow xbox live, selling consoles is secondary. MS is mainly a software company last I checked..... WHat would fanBOY's talk about? I'm sure they'd find some other fantasy to talk about, it's pathetic. MS aren't trying to win a made up fanBOY war. They don't have the same mindset...lol. Far from reality. Enjoy it!

pyroxxx2524d ago

by software ,.. you mean Windows and Office? ,.. because games are also software and Sony is on a different level altogether when it comes to software that matters in gaming

meatnormous2523d ago

You have to have consoles in homes so people can sub to your service. Xbox live on Windows 10 is FREE! There is no cost to play the play anywhere games online on windows 10. You would want paying subs and the console sales is where you get them. PC guys are not going to pay to play online.

They can still have a strong finish to the gen, but this article made good points on what they should be doing. Most people are already heavily invested in their console of choice, especially if it's a Playsation (the software library is ridiculous good at this point in it's life cycle).

These articles are never going to end are they ? It's every day, enough it enough already.

mark_parch2524d ago

this article is actually a good read. all very valid points and very possible

XanderZane2524d ago

I don't have any problem with the article. It's what needs to happen for the future of the XBox brand. The Scorpio is the launching pad.

SegaGamer2524d ago (Edited 2524d ago )

Valid points or not, it's just the same thing we always get. Mentioning the console war and what can Microsoft do to close the gap. It's all part of the same agenda. Get the fanboys clicking and repeating the same rubbish we see every day.

dirkdady2523d ago

What in the world.. the Scorpio is essientially the ps pro in practicality.. you need to set your expectation properly the Scorpio is for the niche market.

could even just 50 good exclusives,which has to be metacritic 85-100,but xbox does not have exclusives,so,forget it,xbox is dead,nothing gonna change that.retarded Phil and his friends done that for them self.

MegamanXXX2524d ago

"The company has only published one retail game for Xbox One in 2017"

Is this true??

MasterCornholio2524d ago

Halo Wars 2 is what I believe they are talking about.

guyman2524d ago

Yip, halo wars 2

That's terrible considering sony's 2017 exclusive releases.

Nothing announced by Microsoft at e3 will even remotely help them in catching up to the ps4

UCForce2523d ago

@EpicBuffet You have mental problems, buddy.

2523d ago
Dragonscale2523d ago

@epic, you are so desperate lol. MS do it every gen front loading then becoming barren. They have no exclusives any more, hardly any Japanese support. Scorpio is a desperate last attempt to try to salvage the disaster that is the bone.

PlayStation Doesn't Need a Dedicated PC Store Launcher

With all the PlayStation games that are now coming to PC, is it time for Sony to release a dedicated PC launcher?

thorstein3d ago

No, and they already solved any need with the overlay that's coming.

Vits3d ago

Unless they are trying to kill their recently created PC business, I would advise against opening a dedicated PC store. It's an extremely hard endeavor, and people, in general, are very comfortable with Steam. Even Epic, with their billions of dollars invested, is still struggling to find a foothold, and they have Fortnite.

just_looken2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Money is one thing security is another but again millions have 0 knowledge past 2020.

Epic store for years struggled with a shopping cart/account theft/credit card theft

Rockstar launcher/store to this day over 5 years later still has horrific user interface security flaws lost account's and stolen CC

Then you got that activision need phone number oh we lost it launcher

The crown jewel is the ea launcher/store ea app 3 yrs old still has hundreds of threads were people lost games/accounts/game access or just straight up crashes.

Edit" Oh ubi launcher were you buy a game that may or may not be there again or work and the launcher 5yrs old still has no 4K support if you launch it on a 4k screen there is a high chance it will just crash.

ocelot073d ago

Can tell who ever put this together is not all that clued up on pc gaming.

It's just a known fact. The PC gaming community prefer Steam and Steam alone. They don't like different launchers. I personally don't mind them. But majority just stick with steam. Hence why EA and Ubisoft went back to on releasing on steam and why Microsoft release games on steam as people hated buying from the windows store.

The only other launchers that I imagine are doing ok is GOG due to being drm free and epic games due to the free games every week. Sony shouldn't release any sort of pc launcher n

Nitrowolf23d ago (Edited 3d ago )

It literally says in the OP that PC gamers don't like multiple launchers lol. It even mentions Steam being the go to for gamers

Tacoboto3d ago

Title: "PlayStation Doesn't Need a Dedicated PC Store Launcher"

N4G: "Can tell who ever put this together is not all that clued up on pc gaming"

When you don't even read the headline...

ocelot073d ago

I read it and had a brain fart. As read the title then this "With all the PlayStation games that are now coming to PC, is it time for Sony to release a dedicated PC launcher?"

So I hold my hands up on that mistake. Rest of my comment still stands.

Giblet_Head2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Steam and GOG are highly preferred because of the rich feature set. Ubisoft, Rockstar, EA, Epic etc have all set a precedent over the years for customers to instinctively expect individual publisher launchers to be so extremely half-assed that the majority simply don't want to bother dealing with what is almost an inevitable disappointment by comparison to Steam or GOG. Those publishers and their inaction or general disinterest to improve have effectively ruined any future adoption to be taken seriously.

Einhander19723d ago (Edited 3d ago )

This is just another ridiculous double standard article.

It's like how Microsoft can spend 20 years of making nothing but gaas and live service style games to sell microtransactions, dlc and subscriptions and get praise for doing it, but if Sony wants to make a single game like that every website under the sun is writing articles saying how Sony is anti-consumer or whatever.

derek2d ago

Yep, huge double standard look at the tortured reaction to the ps5pro, websites hyperventilating like Sony is forcing people to buy it.

just_looken2d ago

Wait my xbox from 2004 has avengers gaas on it? wow your so smart

m$ Gaas started with the other companies like sony

Gamepass yes they are deep into that but its still a huge money saver sense you do not own your games then get a service like that.

Now there pc xbox launcher that is trash for years now
