I see Microsoft dominating the Asian market with the Xbox Platform
- Thread starter 12Danny123
- Start date
You can't buy an Xbox controller (yet!) In most countries. Way more people have access to screens and WiFi than have access to Xbox controllers.
I think it's partially driven by the usual end of the gen articles from some of the enthusiast press explaining why next gen is when Microsoft is finally going to become #1
China Is clamping down on foreign companies trying to expand in the mainland. If you aren't established already in the market, specially in games where the government takes such a strict control of it, then You might as well give up
Im going by each year end NPD since the Switch's release. So for the past two years, yes they have been. But to your point yes, they did manage to outsell the Wii U.
Microsoft with the help of Nintendo can definitely establish a foothold.
This gif is adorable.
This. XB1 is available in those territories right now and not even making a dent so I'm not sure why it would suddenly become a big thing if it was on another device.
If by "increasingly" you mean outselling it 1001:1 instead of 1000:1 ... sure I guess.
Who would say XBOX fans now are the main defensors of lagstreaming. They are smelling MS abandoning the hardware space. I wouldnt touch streaming with a ten foot pole.
I dunno about "dominate" but I think if the Nintendo stuff is true. They could definitely have more share than they've ever managed before. I especially see it being a good case in japan where the internet infrastructure is more capable of cloud gaming across the board. As an example, let's say Yakuza 7 can't be made to run on switch. But with a Yakuza 7 port on Xbox Two playable on Xcloud through the switch, all those people who would still rather play that stuff on the switch and not on a home console can have the ability to do so.
I still think a big reason for Nintendo allowing for Gamepass on Switch (If the rumors are true) is due to upcoming graphical jump of next-gen. This way, Nintendo doesn't have to make their own cloud service for this stuff and can say all these new titles are still playable on their platform (while getting a cut from MS to boot).

I don't think it's random chance that there is still no PS Now or Remote Play app available in the Google Play store. Sony promised the same broad app support back in 2013 that MS is regurgitating now, but I think they'll find Google and Apple rather hostile to their streaming plans.
TV apps didn't turn out that well for PS Now.
We will have to see. But right ms/Sony have the advantage with there massive library of games and high number of quality devs.
