My guess would be they assumed people wanted media/entertainment put forward into the spotlight next to games, but were completely off base with that assumption.
Bingo.

Well then. There you have it ladies and gentlemen. That's what makes drones and sheep. People who can't do their own research or think for themselves and they just follow the herd. Microsoft has been made out to be this bad company just like Sony was last gen and you see the results.
It's just like last gen. The console with the better looking multiplats sells more multiplats. Makes sense. Right?
Congratulations on discovering one of the reasons corporations spend millions/billions a year in marketing.
Now if people would just stay in school and get an education and could think for themselves instead of living off the government and following the sheep herd we'd be all set.
says the guy that constantly is saying "wait for them to harness the power of the cloud" and other bulls*** regurgitation of marketing terms.
Says the guy who seemingly hates the Xbox One and bashes Microsoft at every turn yet bought one anyway. #sheepherd
I'm sure any price drop will be matched by Sony. Kind of the way its always been.
No it's Microsoft's fault they couldn't get their damn message right in the first place...
First they have DRM
Then they don't.
First you can't play used games..
Then you can...
Meanwhile Sony has had a clear and precise approach with the same message. 'Our console can play used games. Our console doesn't have DRM. Our console is for games and nothing else.'
You have to be in some serious denial to debate that. It is like night and day.
Things that have changed from 360?
When the 360 lauched it was the most powerful. Even with the PS3 lauched it was debated and still is over which was more powerful. It was all about the games from the get go. No mixed messages and crap. It spread positively through word of mouth...which is the exact opposite of what we have with the Xb1...I could go on. Xbox live on the One is still even trying to get features back that the 360 had. That is a regression.
If you want to put on blinders and not acknowledge these faults that is on you.
X1 is doing better than the 360 after launch, PS4 is doing much better than PS3 did after launch. Good times for gamers, whenever we actually get games.
Yep. Can you imagine what it is going to be like when the next uncharted, or god of war launches....
These NDP's are going to be a wasteland of slain Xbox fans.
Again....nobody to blame really but Microsoft.
The problem they have now is that people still don't know if the Xbox1 is a games console or a cable box

I've acknowledged the faults all the way back to TXB. People have selective reading i guess. Yeah, Microsoft messed up and the DRM policy and 24 hour check in is why they'll lose this gen if they do lose. I'm pointing out the fact that it's sad that people can't look past that. People are really holding a grudge against Microsoft because they thought they weren't going to be able to play used games on the Xbox One? Even after the fact there was the family share plan in place so it wouldn't have mattered much anyway?
It's the same deal last gen. People really didn't buy a PS3 because of the giant enemy crab meme at E3 2006 and because Sony was cocky? People need to get over it. If you're a gamer and you have the money and the time to play both consoles you buy both consoles. Simple as that. These armchair politics will go on forever. Nobody really cares in the end.
You say that as if the Xbox brand doesn't have popular franchises that attract to American gamers (including possible new ones introduced this gen).
I'm imagining how Uncharted 4 or God of War 4 will look like on PS4... mmm yummy.
People aren't holding a grudge...
They are mad that Microsoft went in REVERSE of what the 360 was! That is what you aren't getting. Nobody is saying the Xb1 is absolute trash....but it kind of is compared to what the 360 was as a games console.
PS3 launched and it was never in dispute as to what it was and what it could do!
PS4 launched and it was never in dispute as to what it is and what it can do!
360 launched and it was clear it was all about the games!
Xb1 (even before it launched) not sure if it is about games or TV. At launch it plays games, but is plagued by weaker hardware and bad PR. (Even from developers)
I could go on about this ad nauseum but you are wrong about one thing. People obviously do care (gamers for sure care) and it is being reflected in sales.
The reason the PS2 multiplats sold more despite inferior graphics and yet the PS4 sold more to due superior graphics is because the PS4/X1 generation is like the 360/PS3 generation and not like the PS2/GC/Xbox generation.Then why did the PS2's multiplats sell more?!?!
It's simply the system with the better overall sales. Plus in terms of the Xbox 360, I doubt many sales came from multiplats looking better. The sales simply came from many people having the Xbox 360 as their only console during the gen + Xbox Live.

disagree with the bold lol. The ps3 at launch was heavily promoted for it's blu ray player.
Getting a PS4 at the end of the month! Woot!
Pretty sure they are indeed holding a grudge. You wouldn't believe how many comments I still see say stuff like, "lol, enjoy getting Xboned by Microsoft. I ain't buying that $hit after they tried to screw us all over."
