To be fair, I knew a some people who used their 360s as multimedia machines. But when every TV today has access to YouTube and other streaming sites, who would use an Xbone?
That was the best corporate own in gaming history if you ask me. They fucked MS so hard, MS still hasn't recovered.
MS fucked themselves so hard. All Sony did was curb stuff on them, while MS was doing it.
I wouldn't exactly call Nintendo bursting into flames. More so fumbling at the start, because they kept adding on new and fancy gimmicks nobody wanted, nor much impressed.
Me, and I’ll tell you why. Aside from still being a very good BluRay player (this also applies to the PS4), the Xbox is so grossly overpowered for simple media playback that even now, it likely outpaces most televisions spec wise so the experience should be consistently excellent for much longer compared to the TV.
And yet they couldn't make the console more powerful for gaming. I still remember BF: Hardline running at 780p, which was worse than PS4's 900p.
And the specs for even that, still overkill for 99% of streaming use cases.
