Xbox One vs PS4 2015: Microsoft Expects To Surpass Sony With Console's 'Exclusive' Gaming Contents
Although Sony has been winning the console battles commercially, Microsoft is poised to launch an all-out offensive in November. The Washington-based tech company is set to unveil new Xbox One-exclusive contents that they expect would tip the gaming wars towards their favor before the year ends.
PlayStation 4 has topped the Xbox One in sales for the better part of this year. However, the latter's constant drive for new updates and features slowly gained impressed followers. The latest generation Xbox showed it was capable of going number one as it stole the month of April from Sony. Naturally, the slight glimmer of victory was all that it took for Microsoft to up the ante even more.
In an interview with Games Industry, Microsoft's corporate vice-president Kudo Tsunoda said the company is looking to improve on their achievement by continually developing unparalleled gaming contents. He even claimed the Xbox One is already "doing things that can't be done on any other console."
He was referring to Microsoft's impressive haul of exclusive games that Sony's seemingly more acclaimed hardware couldn't keep up with. The company is coming off the heels of their successful presentations at E3 and Gamescom. Many thought they had a more notable showing than their Tokyo-based rivals.
Capping off their magnificent run this year, Tsunoda and Co. are set to unveil seven new Xbox One-exclusive titles this November.
"There's a reason we're able to put on two shows of content together. "We've got seven exclusives coming this holiday, and then everything coming in 2016. Not just the blockbusters, but the ID@Xbox games, the indie games. We're giving people a lot more," Tsunoda mentioned.
The Microsoft executive also said that they are working on a system in which PC and console players will be able to play against one another. PC-streaming of console games has also been studied.
"For a long time we've had PC gamers and console gamers who weren't really able to play together. That's why Cross-Play is still such a powerful idea. You should be able to play what you love, and play together, regardless of what device you're playing on. It's about connecting people.
One major thing fans should expect from Microsoft's showcase later this year is Xbox One's backwards compatibility feature. The company has touched on the matter at E3 and has since released a string of older games that are now playable on the Xbox One.
Microsoft is set to release the complete list of backwards compatible games this November. The list is rumored to include 100 titles. Click here to view the partial list of compatible games.
