Dunno if it's fair to call it limited or niche just because Japan doesn't like it. Still pretty popular in the rest of the world.

PS4 has 3 to 1 market penetration in the rest of the world compared to XB1.

Also XB1 lost the HUGE advantage that the 360 had over PS3 in North America. 360 nearly doubled sales totals of PS3 in North America. PS4 leads XB1 in sales in North America by 2-3 million.

Also 360 was semi-competitive with PS3 in Europe, not the case with PS4 vs XB1, where PS4 now has a 3 to 1 lead.

Microsoft has had one popular console. They lost the global race with it even though they carried a huge advantage in North America. Globally, PS3 did 86.8 million and 360 did 85.8 million. Now they are losing North America and getting slaughtered everywhere else in the world. PS4 has sold 63.6 million, Xbox has sold 31.1 million, with 2/3 of that coming from North America. Xbox is a niche brand.

If Xbox and Playstation were the only two consoles ever I suppose you can say it's niche (though even then we're still talking about something in millions of homes). If Xbox is niche or limited what's a Switch or gaming PC? Both have a decent install base but there's a reason AAA gaming consoles are spoken of in binary.

They are the 2 consoles that are competing with each other right now...I could have added in how the original Wii destroyed everything in sales at the time for the sake of the argument, but I didn't feel it was needed to make the point. I left out the switch because it's a brand new console and due to not having the same time being released can't be accurately compared in sales to the other 2 right now. Switch has a total of 6 million in sales because it has been out for 6 months, as opposed to 4 years. There is no way to extrapolate how much it will sell at this point.

There is no way to even bring PC into this argument because the sales figures for gaming rigs aren't even trackable as far as I know since a good chunk are built by the user.

Either way, adding the only other console company in the Xbox time frame, Nintendo, further cements their niche status. Sure, the Wii U flopped, but the Wii itself outsold every Microsoft console combined.

Sure but niche is kinda dismissive for the Xbox.

Who cares if its dismissive if it's the truth? It does good in one area of the global market and nowhere else and is dwarfed overall by its competitors.

Would it be more palatable to you if I said it was niche everywhere except America?

Looks like Bioware now has some competition for possible next member of the EA Graveyard.

EA announced they recently bought Respawn Entertainment for around $455 million depending on conditions. In terms of current projects, EA announced Respawn is working on a new VR game, a new Titanfall game, and a new Star Wars game.

There was a Tweet posted showing the order of events.

1) Nexon make a bid for Respawn
2) As per their publishing agreement, EA gets first refusal
3) EA shuts down Visceral
4) EA buys Respawn

3 might be unrelated, but Nexons bid was well above market value knowing Respawns deal with EA and hoping EA wouldn't match it. Shutting down Visceral seems to fit in with the cost saving needed to bring Respawn in.

They won't actually be shut down any time soon but they likely are on the shakiest grounds out of all of EA's big studios. Mass Effect series is on indefinite hold and their Montreal branch got merged with another EA studio after Andromeda's poor reception.

If Anthem fails to meet whatever EA expects, their future would probably be on life support.

Today's News:
1) For those interested in Star Wars Battlefront II, some new details regarding the game's microtransaction and unlocking system were revealed. Unlike the first game, all heroes and villains are locked at the start while the grinding to unlock them was initially a lot harsher but the backlash was enough to force DICE to make changes.
https://www.destructoid.com/you-re-l...i-472432.phtml

2) Blizzard teasing they are currently working on plans for a possible Overwatch film.
https://www.destructoid.com/blizzard...e-472486.phtml

3) For those interested or own Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, Bethesda revealed the dates and contents for the game's planned DLC packs with the first arriving on December 14th.

Today's News:
1) SALES & FREEBIES:
2) Geoff Keighley revealed the list of games for this year's The Game Awards GotY category are Legend of the Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Horizon Zero Dawn, Persona 5, and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
https://www.destructoid.com/here-are...y-472742.phtml

3) Wall Street Journal reports Universal Pictures, Illumination Entertainment (Minions, Despicable Me), and Nintendo are close to a deal involving the creation of a new Super Mario Bros film.
https://www.destructoid.com/there-co...o-472720.phtml

4) Deadline reports a new TV series based on the Hitman franchise is currently in production by both Fox and Hulu. The writer and series creator of John Wick was hired to work on the pilot episode.
https://www.destructoid.com/there-s-...r-472580.phtml

5) Update to recent Star Wars Battlefront II news as EA's official response to growing backlash ended up becoming the most down voted comment in the history of Reddit. Making things worse was other restrictions were revealed for rewards and DICE reducing the reward for beating the campaign since they want the credits to only be used for a very specific character.

Agree with Fignuts. Heard wonders about Zelda and Mario but didn't get my hands on a switch. So I'll throw my vote in for Horizon.
