Engadget: Xbox Is Poised To Dominate The Next Console Generation

I agree.
*Edit to elaborate more
Xbox brand killed itself at the start of the gen. Sony capitalized it by using that failure to their gain. Hell even their slogan "for the players'' is a tongue in cheek play on words against the anti consumer DRM microsoft plans.
IMO sony got very very lucky. Dont get me wrong they have quality games and PSVR. It's my main console.
But tides will change with quality hardware. Gamepass and improved exclusives which I'm sure will blow us away when revealed.

The thing is, to do that Xbox needs worldwide traction. Thus far, Microsoft has failed at that. Unless they change that, I can't see them ever leading on a worldwide scale.
Everyone take cover! Seriously though, they have a long way to go but positive steps have been taken. They will definitely have a better gen than last, which is what I want.
I don't doubt that MS will do much better next time around, but "dominate" ? I don't know about that.
And there's still the not so small matter of everywhere outside North America and the UK.

Never going to happen with worldwide regions substantially favoring Playstation.
Sony has a near monopoly when compared to Microsoft on that front.

How about, on a forum where console warring is explicitly banned, we do not share articles clearly meant to stir up and cause console wars?
They're going into next gen a lot better than they did this one.
Whether that translates to dominating? Probably not.
Switch is the first of the new generation like 3DS was, its doing pretty well. People still like PlayStation quite a bit too.
All 3 are likely to do well like they currently are

Yeah this seems to get prophesied before every gen but is yet to happen. Maybe the next will be the one. It certainly seems that manly outlets wish it so.
I could see this being an article cited again and again by folks here in four or five years time.
Depends if we get the return of Arrogant Sony or not.
If there was a hypothetical situation where, say, Xbox Two was fully BC and PS5 wasn't, that could be huge.
Or if Xbox continues to improve Game Pass and Sony doesn't have a good enough answer to it (PS Now ain't even close right now).

I think they're making a lot of good moves and will probably be stronger next generation, but I think Sony would have to majorly screw up somehow for MS to dominate.
It's easy to say this when we have no clue what Sony's next gen plans are. I have a feeling when we see what PS5 is, the narrative won't be as one sided as this.
And this bullshit:
No mention of fastest selling comic book game in history. No mention of God of War. No mention that their first party momentum shows no signs of slowing down with games like Dreams, Death Stranding and Last of US 2. lol

All i have to say is, let's wait and see. Love how some medias think Sony will be just sitting there and scratch their balls, while MS will bounce back.
Yeah.. No, just no. Sony is going to dominate again - especially worldwide.
Do not underestimate the power of Playstation.

Who wrote this, a time traveler? We do not and cannot know enough to make or judge such a claim right now.
Lol it's way too early to tell. These pieces, man.
Maybe let's see them reveal the hardware first?
