Pachter: Microsoft Has An Inferiority Complex Right Now

[GribbleGrunger]

"I don't know if it matters to Microsoft if there in second place. I think it matters to them if they sell 20 million units fewer than they should," commented Pachter.
"Somebody is going to win and somebody is going to lose. If the winner and loser was 100 million vs 90 million I don't think anybody cares.
"But if its 100 million vs  50 million I think Microsoft cares, because they know if there are 150 million consoles sold, they should at least have made a valiant effort to capture half of that.
"I think that's the problem with being second and I think Microsoft has an inferiority complex right now that they're so far behind.
"They're behind in the US, which never happened before, they didn't expect that at all."

"They're behind in the US, which never happened before, they didn't expect that at all."

Eh, it's only not happened once.  

PS2>Xbox
360>PS3
PS4>XB1

And its because they had a superiority complex. If they would have been humble. Realized where they actually went wrong they could have done much better.

Apart from him saying it's not happened before I think he talks a lot of sense here.  Microsoft are hella salty over losing this gen so badly.

They won the US by around 20 million units last time right?

They're around 2 million units behind in the US 3 years in this time right?

Yeah, I imagine those boardroom meetings are stressful.

i really think ms is really close to dominating the console

i love that so many first party studio were closed so they could really focus on forza, halo, and gears.  there is nothing i want more out of a console than HDMI in and UHD movies.  it's been a dream of mine to edit excel spreadsheet on my console and have access to all those amazing games releasing exclusively on smartphones. 

once the rest of the world sees what i see in xbox ms will destroy playstation.
