First off, I'll be the first to admit Microsoft did better than sony this year at e3. As a playstation fan, i was actually kinda disappointed because i expected more. But, since this forum has been flooded with fanbabies claiming "xbox has won, ps4 is dead", i feel like some* people here need a reminder:
Ps4 has DOMINATED xbox in sales since release. We're talking double the sales until recently (likely due to Microsoft having to continuously cut its price down $100-$150). So yes, Microsoft had a good show. But they haven't "won the war". They are just trying to catch up, and they still have a LONG ways to go.

*I'm not referring to fans who are proud that Microsoft finally pulled something great. It's about time, and I'm happy for ya. I'm referring to all the shit talkers her. If that doesn't apply to you, don't take offense.

Noooooo.......don't reignite the console war flame

Edited by MightyJonE: 6/18/2015 8:44:04 PMI think both Microsoft and Sony did perfectly well at e3. It depends what your own gaming preferences are to some degree. I've played all the halos and gears of wars in the past, but those series no longer appeal to me. And the single player gameplay footage of halo5 was alarmingly reminiscent of call of duty's style rather than of halo

Microsoft brought with them ground-breaking technology, new exclusives, and xbone's Fall update effectively making xbone into a PC. Sony just showed multi-platform games with stupid gimmicks to get people to switch.

Microsoft needs to pump the breaks on the Holo lens http://venturebeat.com/2015/06/17/halo-5s-hololens-experience-is-amazing-but-its-not-in-the-game/

Just get both, win win for me, scrubs lose.
-
Ok buddy. You play the "sales" game and ill be actually playing some exclusive video games.
-
Wow, a well crafted argument that doesn't include various insults! Where'd that come from?
-
You're right, Microsoft didn't win, Bethesda did

Edited by FrodoSaggins: 6/17/2015 10:28:20 PMWe have won... Because we have better exclusives [spoiler]jk it's an opinion though[/spoiler]
-
Why exactly do sales matter lol?
-
Uhm.....Why is everyone sleeping on sony's effort to revolutionize gaming and gradually set the bar higher with 'MORPHEUS' imagine playing Mass Effect 4 exploring planets and shit with that.
-
It goes both ways buddy. Both sides complain just as much.

Edited by BurstWolf: 6/17/2015 5:21:57 PMLol...you put xbox and win together

Don't remember sales making a better gaming platform but [i]okay[/i]

Why can't everyone just realize these console wars are so dumb it's all opinions with no fact so no one is right or wrong. This shit is outta control and I hate seeing constant posts about it

Edited by GeneralPoe: 6/17/2015 1:31:58 PMXBox fans don't realize that Halo and Gears are their only selling point and they don't come every year. They also haven't had any original exclusive IP over the years become a triple A title unlike Sony who just this year developed a new one in Bloodbourne. Xbox doesn't have in house developers who are making games like Horizon and The Last Guardian. Sure they can flop like the Order or they can become another exclusive triple A franchise like only Sony can put out. Also it's sad how Xbox is about hardware mostly still and that's how "they won" when Sony was about games like a real gaming station should be for real gamers.

Playstation shows true next gen games and people say they were boring. Xbox shows some virtual reality that doesnt work in any way like we saw on our tv, a backwards compatability for games we already played and a controller the price of 2 games. Maybe i'm old but i just really don't understand gamers these days.
-
Who gives a shit...? :D
-
Sales don't mean the PS4 is better. It just means they won e3 2013 which is where all these sales came from
-
You know what Xbox didn't lose? My credit card information.
-
There is no war we all lose to the pc !

Edited by Bandicoot: 6/16/2015 9:04:45 PMYep because sales mean something. [spoiler]lol[/spoiler] At the end of the day, who has the better content?
-
When are you gonna realise that the idiotic fanboys from both camps just like flinging their shit around; 12 year olds are like that. It's been this way forever. Just ignore it like most sane people.
-
I stopped taking you seriously when you said Playstation was dominating in sales. That old excuse does not work anymore. Ps4 has noting but little kid games. Excluding Uncharted, which is the only thing they have to compete.
