The Sony PlayStation 2 won the battle back in the day but what about today? Truth is that the past doesn’t matter and these consoles have evolved.
The Microsoft Xbox might have lost the battle back then but today it’s a mighty contender, and here's why.
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
Paul Thurrott in a recent episode commented on the on-going Microsoft fiasco hinting at more job losses and that "there's more to come".
There won't be no more acquiring game publishers from Microsoft in the future . Xbox has to pay Microsoft back. It might take two decades to do that.
There really needs to be a class action lawsuit here. You buy these companies just to put people out of jobs. And it’s not like something happened to derail their plans this WAS the plan. Microsoft has no business in this space at all.
Ninja Theory, Perfect Dark, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Wolfenstein 3, Dishonored, Prey, Doom, Quake... something tells me that bad things are going to happen to these entities under Microsoft.
The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."
“Bond adds that they will start on the web”
This will go nowhere.
Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.
The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.
The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.
In terms of power: Xbox
In terms of EVERYTHING else: PS2
Really? You're gonna' tout modding on OGXBOX to play emulated games and add in M/Kb over the PS2 when you can do the same to THAT console too? -_-
to xbox just after Gran Turismo 4 came out and never regreted it
PS2 was always quantity over quality. The only thing the Xbox was short on was JRPGs and quality platformers. It slayed at everything else.
Ah, back when Sony just didn't care that much about having the most powerful hardware (the Xbox had better graphics, the Gamecube had better graphics, and proof is RE:4).
The PS1 was weaker than the saturn and N64 (the graphics only looked good because of prerendered backgrounds for some games).
Yet Sony destroyed in both gens. Now they're last.
