- Too expensive
- No killer app that isn't just an iterative sequel long past its prime
- Had nothing to counter the PS4's crazy momentum
- Completely botched the announcement thanks to wanting their DRM system

I wouldn't say it failed hard. Just...mediocre. Like the Xbox One in general.

Extremely poor PR and marketing at the console's announcement.

I feel like it all started at the announcement press conference. Always online. No used games. Forced Kinect connection. Etc.

While MS eventually doubled down on all those things the damage was done. PS4 just got a huge head start and kept delivering games. XB1 just has games cancelled.

I have trouble concentrating because I have 80HD.

Its best exclusive is Gears of war. Which I love but its enough to decisively choose it over a ps4.

Forgettable posted...
Because when they see it they turn around one degree and walk away.

if they were within visible distance of the xbone, surely they would be walking into it

Terrible start

Lack of exclusives games

Not getting involved in the timed exclusive bs Sony was doing.

You can not have exclusive games but you gotta at least be the better console to play the major AAA releases. Outside of fallout 4 and the third release of skyrim I don't think that was ever the case

It's hard to want to buy something when the people trying to sell it to you are giving you the middle finger the entire time.

Their original very anti consumer plans did a lot of damage that just snowballed. Games wise the exclusives were fairly even in the beginning. Then they just spiraled into whatever they have now. They're hanging in there, but there's no chance of them outselling the ps4 now.

I'm hoping that next gen is a bit more even. Competition is good for the consumer and I would love a reason to own both a Sony and MS console.
