Message: [QUOTE="LaserMoose, post: 170910, member: 26991"] I do think that part of the issue stems from the lack of exclusivity on modern systems. Why buy an Xbox if Halo is readily available on PC? The identity crisis for the Xbox is real - the last two Microsoft systems have lacked a game or series to differentiate itself from Sony or the plumber. But I also feel as though in previous generations with Microsoft's competitors, games would oftentimes make use of hardware exclusive to a system, which made for unique releases. The FMV craze during the PS1 era is one example of this. Some games on PS1 were just not feasible on the cartridge-based N64. Xbox, on the other hand, has nearly always operated as a "PC in a console's body." The parity of the system with PC leaves the Microsoft systems without an identity, aside from being "the system that Halo is from." [/QUOTE]
