In my books it is panic and big time ... All these cuts , reverses , bundles , free games and coupons again and again and again ... Why to do that when they dont care how far PS4 goes and when X1 is profitable ? Something isnt right dont you agree ?
Thats far from good business if you asking me .... System isnt selling as it supposed to and they trying desperatly to do that by all these things i mentioned. The funny thing about it is that ... they cant make it still .. and im not even talking about worldwide scale but rather for their "own" territory ( US/UK) ... ! All its left is HALO ..and im very curious to see what happens when it gets a release.
The results of X1s low sales ( assuming will continue in 2015/16 ) will be seen in late 2016 and beyond. What i mean ? More and more 3rd party developers will focus on PS4 system either as the lead system for their multis or even worse bring their games on PS4 as exclusives or time exclusives. If PS4 keep selling at this pace into 2015/16 ... well say goodbye to X1 pretty early this generation. If somehow they can make it up with HALO or something it has a chance to keep it up for longer.
Companies like Microsoft don't panic, this is simply a case of "Okay this route doesn't seem to be working and people are not liking it, let's try something else." Calling it panic is a gross dramatization to amplify the seriousness of the situation Microsoft is facing and making it look considerably worse.
They seem prety worried to me. Could even say desperate. In my part of the world they are fucked.
