Why Xbox Failed To Keep Up With Playstation

Xbox 360 was regarded as one of the best consoles of its time. It competed with Playstation 3 and Nintendo. From an equal split between Xbox 360 and PS3 users, Xbox kept losing it’s users with coming generations. Despite gaining a decent player base, how did Microsoft fumble and lose the console war?

Basically, gamers said what they wanted, and MS didn't deliver. I remember at the tail end of 2012, rumours of the always-online/used game ban started coming out. Xbox fans were justifiably angry, and a lot threatened to jump ship to PlayStation. Microsoft did it anyway, perhaps on the assumption the PS4 would have the same restrictions. Which of course it didn't. Microsoft's terrible PR also didn't help matters. Such as one of their execs saying that people should just stick with Xbox 360 if they didn't like the online requirement. What that did was push everyone over to Sony's ecosystem. Now those people are locked in, and naturally opted for a PS5 instead despite it having largely the same library issues as the Series X/S. I think Xbox is starting to learn that they need high quality first party titles, rather than just leaning on third parties, but it's a little too late. I think they want to focus on streaming and Game Pass, which don't need a console.

The Sony PS3 was way better than the Xbox 360 because the PS3 had free online play.

One thing that's not true, xbox 360 was not when Xbox Live was created, it came out on the original xbox. The 360 just refined it.
