Reader Discussion: What Must Microsoft Announce To Stay Competitive?
Sony has planted its banner in the sand with a host of new games and features for the PS4. What does Microsoft need to share with gamers to capture the limelight?
Sony took the stage last week to reveal the PlayStation 4 to the world, and while there may not have been too many giant surprises, most analysts agree that the newly announced system is looking strong.
Rumor has it that Microsoft will follow suit with its own next-gen announcement at the end of April. Whether it happens in April, or not until E3, it’s a safe bet that Microsoft is busy trying to figure out how to woo players who may have already become enchanted with visions of a new PlayStation 4.
What features, games, or other elements must Microsoft reveal in their next-gen announcement to get your attention? Moreover, what features would turn you off, and make Sony your next-gen system of choice? We offered some of our own opinions on the topic shortly after the PS4 announcement.
