Will Microsoft's Xbox Beat Competition From Sony's Playstation?



The tech giant has shown to be struggling in the gaming industry yet again, with Sony Corporation leading the game with its PlayStation 4.

It comes to no one’s surprise that Microsoft Corporation is struggling in the gaming industry again and that it could actually be failing to compete side by side with gaming giant Sony Corporation, in the most recent wars of providing a better gaming device to the gamers in the industry. The rivalry between the two companies regarding the gaming gadgets has been going on from the time they were first put on the market for sale and this could go on forever, with one company trying to beat the other with better gaming options and cheaper prices. Analysts on the other hand believe that things do not look so good for the software giant in the current time and it is possible that Xbox’s rival PS4 could actually be leading the game by a great difference, yet again. This is being said due to the increasing number of sales that Sony’s gaming gadget has enjoyed since the time it was released recently whereas for the software makers, things have turned out quite negatively. Analysts who have been looking at the situation closely have come around to have different opinions about the whole situation. Some analysts believe that since the Microsoft business has not been playing its tricks wisely and has been making some very obvious mistakes in the gaming industry, the lesser number of sales should not come as very surprising. As per the opinion of the analysts, the tech company has shown very little patience for the gamers, with new policies for the Xbox which have come out to be quite rigid for the users in the first place. On the other hand, the fact that the firm’s product has always been the product of a higher price than of the other gaming devices available in the market, which is another factor which has never turned out to be a good decision on the company’s end. Even though all the mistakes made by Microsoft management are being looked into by the firm and are also considered to get changed in accordance with the likes and dislikes of the consumers, analysts believe that things could still not turn out to be so productive for the company after all. On the other hand, PlayStation 4 has clearly taken advantage of the firm’s weaknesses over the period of time, as the sales of the device has gone right up on the scale, leaving no space for the rival firm to establish itself in the industry. Currently, things do not look very positive for the analysts and it is possible that this continues even in the coming months.
