"Here are all the questions we answer this week:
*Between Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, who do you think would be missed the least/most if they got out of the gaming business?
*What upcoming Xbox One games will help the system catch up to the PlayStation 4’s sales?
*Will 2015 see a legit increase in the mainstream legitimacy of independently developed video games?
*Between Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and The Witcher 3, which will execute on a grander scale?
*Why does the blanket statement of “no games coming out” overshadow the fact that we’re getting AAA attempts at original IPs at this current stage?
*What are your thoughts on the new Square Enix Collective?
*Why do so many Japanese PC games receive bad ports?
*Did the order 1886 just set up Quantum break to fail?
*If Ready at Dawn patches in campaign co-op and multiplayer as free dlc, should the review scores be revised for The Order?
*If Sony and Microsoft announce backwards compatible 4k consoles for $500 would you buy them?"
Alexander Morton, the Scottish actor probably best known for starring in British comedy drama Monarch of the Glen - but known to me for being the hilariously foul-mouthed dwarf Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 - has died aged 81.
The latest revenue report from CD Projekt Group shows Xbox only made up 10% of sales for The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 in 2025.
3x less sales than Playstation.
3x less consoles sold than Playstation.
Per captita, it averages out that the same number of users are buying CDP games regardless of platform, no?
The exact same or possibly more because a series S, initial investment and effort to Port to Xbox consoles for a third of the return.
Simply not worth it
A third is a pretty big number to be honest. Like would you rather make 15 million or 20 million? That's the difference that a third makes.
Hey it’s ok. They are really impressed with XBOx’s new CEO so exclusivity is on the way. 😂
Ok but I mean be logical ... modern PC, Switch, PS4 PS5 then you have XBOX, of all of those XBOX is probably only 10 percent... I mean, what do you expect? 10 percent increase in sales is still nothing to sneeze at, remember - this is CD projekt red and they sell a lot of software. 10 percent of their sales is probably what most studios DREAM of selling .... just playing devils advocate..... its easy to say LOL haha XBOX.... but.. I mean we know what it is at this point. I havent bought on since my xbox one X and before that I only used other peoples xboxes since the OG XBOX and stick with PC and Playstation and switch OLED, but .. I mean.... theres nothing WRONG with an xbox considering its just not the best - but they work fine. make no mistake.

Over ten years after its release, does Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain still impress? Jump Dash Roll returns to Snake's world for this Brutal Backlog.
I don’t think I’ve ever quite experienced an unfinished game that was slapped together with duct tape and construction paper to be sold as a finished product, basically making you replay the same missions and include a story that clearly was missing so much of the plot, like I did with this game.
I’m actually shocked that it doesn’t get calls out for this more.
Great questions answered on this episode. As for the theory on whether The Order 1886 setup Quantum break to fail I'm not fully sure if that's true. We still need to see more of Quantum Break before coming to this conclusion and knowing Remedy that game probably won't be out until 2016 lol.
