The Sony Hype Train Vs Microsoft’s Past Success
March 26, 2013 | Posted in BBG, Culture, Industry, PS4, Xbox 720 | 1 comment
If you followed the console “war” between the PS3 and Xbox 360 this last generation, most would agree that Microsoft won the battle in North America. Now in the end winning and losing can best be defined by who sales the most consoles, and I am not going to try and get into profit margins, titles sold, or ePurchases because I don’t have the data and am not really interested in getting that detailed for this article.
sony beatings text
I do, however, want to comment on the general feel in the industry. Sony took a pretty big step back last gen in terms of market/industry domination. They maintained their leads in Europe and Asia however took a hit in North America. And it wasn’t really anything they didn’t do but what Microsoft did. Last gen Microsoft tapped into a generation of gamers in North America and propelled them to a consistent lead in that region. For the first time in over a decade Sony fell behind in a home console race.
As a fan of both systems I can honestly say they were both great machines that offered diverse experiences to the gamer, but Microsoft was much more aggressive and proactive about growing their market share in the U.S. And they did.
(Remember this? Of course you do, it was on every 15 minutes during the games 2 month launch window)
But, in the video game industry we are always looking forward, and right now it seems Sony has learned a lot from the beatings they took last gen.
Confusing Architecture (The Cell): GONE
Lame Stubborn Excuses (Rumble Won’t Work with SixAxis): GONE
Very High Price Point (If NVIDIA’s complaints of it “not costing enough” are true): probably…GONE…hopefully
Afraid to Copy Good Ideas (Cross Game Chat is a new industry standard): GONE
As for Microsoft we have yet to learn anything official from their next console. But between the leaks, which seem consistent, and the not so secret direction of focusing on peripherals and “home entertainment” the gaming fans of Microsoft’s Xbox are seeing a slight change in what had been the focus for the last 12 years.
For evidence just look at Microsoft’s “Why Xbox” page.
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/entertainment?xr=shellnav
Their are literally more tablets and TV’s on the page than there are games…? Not to mention a plug for the Zune. I don’t know about you but I didn’t get my Xbox for Zune functionality, and I doubt that will change next gen.
Now we know Sony isn’t perfect either, but the point is that they seem to be off to a strong start and have been correcting their mistakes from last gen. As for Microsoft, all we have to go on right now is reasonably strong rumors, recent company direction, comments from company leaders, and their surprisingly long silence.
Personally I hope both consoles have a strong showing, as all gamers should. Because I think everyone would agree that the innovation we have seen over the past decade wouldn’t have been possible without some healthy competition.
On a funny note check the video spoof below if you haven’t seen it. Really funny, but it is the perception that is growing amongst the industry. (Warning for Kiddos: some bad language)

Did Microsoft Vastly Underestimate The Release Date of the Playstation 4 And Enter Damage Control Mode As A Result
There has been much speculation about the PlayStation 4 ever since Sony announced it back in February. Aside from the usual things such as pricing, specs, titles, and features, one of the biggest questions from gamers has been what Microsoft’s response would be and when they would announce their new system. Conventional wisdom has Microsoft announcing the successor to the Xbox 360 during the E3 convention this June. In light of the attention Sony is getting with their announced system there has been speculation as to why Microsoft has not decided to make some kind of announcement sooner rather than later.
We checked with various technology and gaming insiders regarding this topic and will naturally nobody was willing to go on record regarding this topic they did provide some very interesting information. The development of a news console involves millions of dollars in research and development as well as a significant amount of outlay in strategic partnerships and other licensing related to the games and hardware for the system. Combine that with the billions of dollars in revenue that can be generated over the lifespan of the console, it is evident why it is important to do everything your power to ensure a stable and successful launch.
From what we have heard there is much speculation that Microsoft may have underestimated Sony as they did not believe that the next PlayStation would be announced as early as it was and did not expect the unit to be shipping to retail in November. Some insiders reported to us that they anticipated and E3 announcement on the system with a release date sometime in 2014 similar to the way that Nintendo announced the follow-up to the Wii at the 2011 E3 with the launch date of November 2012.
As a result, there reportedly has been debate amongst the Xbox team as to the best course of action. It was reported to us that some believe that the system should be delayed six months or so beyond its planned but as yet unannounced launch window so that further refinements could be done to the system. There are also those that are concerned that launching two systems so close to each other might be detrimental to sales as many gamers will only be able to buy one system during the coveted holiday season with the first system to the market having a significant advantage amongst the more casual gaming consumers.
Naturally there are those who also state that the production and release of the new system will continue as originally planned and that the timing of Sony’s announcement although unexpected, does not alter in any way the release schedule for the new system.
I had to admit that when I first got the announcement from Sony that they would be making a significant announcement in Feb. by the World Wide Web and to assembled media, it did strike me as a rather unique way of making the announcement. The timing was indeed earlier than I had expected as was the release date. While Sony has indeed fired the first shot in what is to be a hotly debated topic, for now the world can only wait, wonder, and speculate as to what Microsoft’s response will be and which are the systems will spark gamers imaginations to become the must own console upon their release. I for one plan to get both systems and look forward to seeing what both companies come up with in the ensuing years as I believe that when the two companies really push one another, then gamers win in the long run from better products.
