Microsofts Xbox 360 was released with a terribly diminished cast of launch titles with games that collectively possessed less clout than a single retail release of the Halo franchise. What Microsoft needs for their next console is a battle plan, to not only combat Nintendos Wii U and Sonys new Playstation but, in addition, place themselves in a market position to reap fear in their competitors. And here's our take on that battle plan, in four key steps...
1. Dont Rush the System Out
It should be understood that unlike the current generation where Microsoft had their foot in the door first with the early release of the Xbox 360 a decision that led to a billion dollar warranty plan to compensate for overlooked details in the product's design they will have to contend with an eager Nintendo whos Wii U could potentially grab a significant number of sales as an HD-successor to the Nintendo Wii as close as fall of this year! Despite this fact, Microsoft now has an opportunity to construct a device that is complete: A console that doesnt receive a reputation for red-ringing and a system that is reliable, content-complete and stands as a provider of an entertainment library that only they could muster. It was with great disdain to millions of fans that the console manufacturer cut corners in the development of the Xbox 360 only to have to take such major losses in the devices future. If Microsoft strives to learn from the history they have cultivated the latter statement should not be an issue of contention in their future console. Click "next" below to read the next entry...
