12 Biggest Missed Opportunities In Gaming History

9. The Xbox One

Microsoft are in the weirdest position right now. Having come off the back of the generation-dominating 360, employing a team of newbies to develop the Xbox One - resulting in a cataclysmic failure of epic proportions - and scrabbling to stop their brand falling into total disarray for the last three years, they face an industry climate that just might not welcome the Scorpio whatsoever.

Because after all, do you know anybody on this Earth that bought a PS4 Pro?

It comes back to the current generation's consoles never having the power where it counts from day one. Sony were able to paper over this rather large crack with solid marketing and the occasional exclusive, but Microsoft - after going in hard with all the 'Kinect-controlled TV is the future' bullpoop - have slowly bolted features back onto the Xbox One, hoping to the Lord himself that the tides eventually turn.

To some degree, they have. The Xbox One S is a more solid machine on the hardware side, yet its dashboard is still a total mess. Still, alongside the PS4 - which now has Uncharted 4, Nioh, Ratchet & Clank and more - there's the realisation that once we see the pivot into supporting the Scorpio, the Xbox One might be the biggest console failure since the Wii U.
