Since the end of last year, many rumors suggest the imminent arrival of a new Xbox since the cycle of the Xbox 360 began to be long, the machine is down technique compared to PC games and that a renewal of the park could reboost market. unsheathed first Nintendo console with WiiU that wants as powerful as Xbox 360 or PS3 but the Japanese firm licenses are still very strong and they will finally receive high definition. Although the results are mixed first sales, Nintendo remains a serious competitor for the Xbox 360. Given that the latter was the first to arrive on the market every reason to believe that Microsoft would be the first to switch to the true next-generation consoles, but Sony finally faked everyone by announcing on February 20 output Playstation 4 for the end of 2013. Who would have thought a few months ago that Sony would offer this year the PS4 when the PS3 came well after his rival? Even Microsoft could not imagine such a scenario with a PS4 technically very sharp, very enthusiastic developers work on independent and pampered but more importantly, this new console will disembark for Christmas 2013, Christmas MS could see her out alone for Xbox "Loop" and make a shopping carnage ... What are the choices the team after Xbox this ad? Is forecasts techniques considered for the new Xbox are sufficient to provide a return equivalent to the PS4? Is the right choice to impose a permanent connection to use the console? But ultimately the biggest question to ask, is it safe to release a new console at the same time as another? The industry has never experienced such a situation to see land on the market two new consoles! economic situation is difficult for most consumers, it would usher in a costly war on communication to demonstrate the capabilities of the console compared to her rival. The loser of this battle could suffer financial losses and poor brand image over several months or years ... Another problem for Microsoft, if indeed the Xbox "Loop" is launched along with the PS4, it takes good arguments to highlight. Besides the interface, services or the physical machine, the major advantage to stand out in the eyes of consumers, are the exclusive games! If MS is dragging its feet to present its console, it may be that the firm studios are not willing to leave good games to entice players to buy the Xbox "Loop" and if that is the case, Sony win this battle hands down. Consequently, the great strategists Microsoft probably arise the question, is it better to get the new Xbox in 2014 and being alone with the analysis of the launch of the PS4 to final adjustments? The spring could be ideal since the number of games released other media would be low and it would be easier to conduct a marketing campaign effective in this peak period without taking too much delay. eventuality is quite possible in the sense that Xbox 360 will receive licenses for the big end of the year 2013 such as Battlefield 4, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, Watch Dogs or Fifa 14. While these games are not gen but they can quite simply the most of the 70 million Xbox 360 owners still reluctant to invest in a new machine. Whilst every reason to believe that the new Xbox arrive in 2013, several signs that an output in 2014 could finally agree to Microsoft by leveraging the existing fleet to finish the year, especially the Xbox 360 continues to lead sales in the U.S. market for example. And finally remember, there has never been a launch of two new consoles in the same period ... What do you think of this probability?
