MS Deserves More Credit - NeoGAF
'People said they wanted just games MS did exactly that with their conference. '
'They are trying to make every game ever made on the XBOX available for free to play on their consoles. '
' They seem to be good at listening to fans at this time in their history and they deserve credit for it. '
'That is business - Related to the above they may not have supported Cross play before, IDK - Having XBOX games on PC means you may not need a XBOX. I think they are aware. '
'While the XBOX One X maybe for more hardcore gamers, they are also delivering options for more casual gamers and families. '

The competition narrative on GAF is one of the most irritating things. The N64 posed no true threat to the PS2 and it ended up being one of the most dominant consoles ever. The PS3 struggled out of the gate because Sony screwed up on the pricing. It had nothing to do with whatever Microsoft or Nintendo was doing. Sony will continue to be the market leader as long as they offer the best balance of first and third party games. That has nothing to do with competition. Nintendo struggles with third party games and Microsoft has no interest in developing in house talent. Sony has been successful because of savvy investments in studios and locking up marketing deals and content with third party devs. That has nothing to do with anything Microsoft or Nintendo is doing. Until Nintendo gets serious about hardware and wooing third parties (will never happen) and until Microsoft gets serious about original content they're doomed to second or third place. And yes, if not for the 599.99 catastrophe last generation, Sony would have run away last generation too in terms of sold hardware. They still sold more PS3s worldwide and that was with bungle after bungle.

I'd hope not since N64 was in the Saturn\PSx gen. Gamecube was in the PS2/Xbox gen.

Repeat after me: if you buy games on windows ztore, they get your money. They speak like a bunch of trained monkeys and they do it for free.

Every year it's the same thing with these idiots. There is no fucking cash prize or trophy given to the "Winner of E3". Sony, MS, Nintendo, and all the developers don't give a shit about some fanboy fantasy console war contest. All these companies win so long as anyone buys their products.

Because Sony's dick is more feminine.
