Xbox One: Did you know?

Xbox One is the only system with every top ten best-selling console game from 2015. And with an expanding library of Xbox 360 titles now playable on Xbox One, it’s also the greatest deal in Xbox history.

Eonjay3709d ago

Whats even more impressive is that it managed to do that without actually being the top software or hardware seller.

Eonjay3709d ago

BTW: Here is the list of the top 10 games from 2015 in the US (NPD):

1. Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
2. Madden NFL 16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)
3. Fallout 4 (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
4. Star Wars: Battlefront (Xbox One, PS4, PC)
5. Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, Xbox One) 360, PS3, PC)
6. NBA 2K16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)
7. Minecraft (360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4)
8. FIFA 16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)
9. Mortal Kombat X (PS4, Xbox One)
10. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)

All were multiplat titles. So again, we have no idea what the eff Microsoft is referring to.

thekhurg3709d ago (Edited 3709d ago )

They're just the masters of advertising through the use of word trickery.

They did it at the launch of the consoles when the PS4 beat them opening month but they used the term "fastest selling console in the month of November". They added "and backwards compatibility" to the end of their statement to make something absurdly false into something completely true.

Yay MS PR department. You guys know how to fluff up the nonsense.

Wallstreet373709d ago

Its kind of how they dont talk about sales now but talk about accounts made lol total pr bs!!!! They pad their stats with everything they can including multiplats and the kitchen table lol Like who isnt up on their pr bs by now? lol

RosweeSon3709d ago (Edited 3709d ago )

Not only that sometimes it can be some real rubbish that actually sells well i remember just dance on Wii was at number for over 6 weeks in the U.K lots of sales no doubt awful game tho for me. Sure some people clearly loved it.
As you say below honesty is by far the best policy just be upfront.

TheCommentator3709d ago

The description of the video is what's misleading everyone by taking things out of context. MS, on the other hand, was very clear in the video that all the most popluar games were on XB1 and you could play last gen games on the system as well. They said it in the same sentence, it is the only place you can have both.

Eonjay3709d ago

@TheCommentator

Fair enough. Agreed.

RosweeSon3709d ago

If that's the Top 10 how are Microsoft are Xbox one the only system to play the Top 10 games as each and everyone of those games has Ps4 listed beside it also.

Rookie_Monster3709d ago (Edited 3709d ago )

@Eonjay

MS statement was "Xbox One is the only system with the top ten best-selling console game of 2015."

That is actually correct as your 10 top
list from NPD 2015 include PC as well. If you take out PC, I would assume Halo 5 would be on the list as it was the top selling game of October NPD.

So in that sense, MS is right. Nothing trickery about it as it fully said "best-selling console game of 2015" and PC is not a console.

javauns3709d ago

lol this isn't trickery or false advertising, its a brilliant and slightly deceiving way of tell the truth, they are they only ones with every top 10 game from 2015 and backward compatibility. its one statement.

Manic20143709d ago

NPD is only the US. They're most likely referring to world wide.

lastking953709d ago (Edited 3709d ago )

Eonjay3709d ago

@Rookie_Monster

I think TheCommentator's comment describes what happened here better.

Rookie_Monster3709d ago (Edited 3709d ago )

@Eonjay,

That is incorrect of what The Commentator said.

It clearly said in the video "before we go any further, lets consider these TWO FACTS".."the Xbox One is the only system with all top 10 selling console games of 2015" is one fact and "Backward compatible" is the other fact. So it is two facts and not lump together.

Germany73708d ago

But what about the sales? That would be more important...

mikeslemonade3708d ago

lol just as Eonjay says it's multiplat. Multiplat it only make sense to sell the most.

Microsoft going back to their old ways and twisting words to try to make them seem the best.

I'm not falling for that.

Kingthrash3603708d ago

Wow ms....just wow.
But then they sat they don't advocate the console war. But they put out numbers like this to make it seem as if they are winning at something to give ammo to xbox gamers or something. Smh I bet the "*" button is worn out on their keyboard .

By the way, it is the only console made in the top 10 with BC. Why is that so hard for you to understand? You let your fanBOY bias get in the way of your intellect. DISCREDITED!.

Slimey advertisement. I still want to know what their actual numbers are though. According to MSFT, they still havent passed 10M.

theRedDragon3708d ago (Edited 3708d ago )

Whoever wrote this title heading is either purposely trolling (Xbox One is the only system with every top ten best-selling console game from 2015) or misquoted what the person was saying in the video.

He never said 'from' and his full sentence is 'only system with every top 10 selling titles of 2015'

The words 'from' and 'of' makes a world of difference. 'Of 2015' means games that were only released in such year and 'from 2015' means it can be from any year.

So having looked at the NPD list, we can definitely eliminate COD Advanced Warfare, Grand Theft Auto 5, and Minecraft from the equation.

Pretty sure at least xbox One exclusive Halo 5 Guardians made the 2015 list as one of the best selling games 'of 2015'. Mystery solved. What was all that fighting about as Microsoft is correct because of a simple misquoted word.

nix3708d ago (Edited 3708d ago )

This commercial is like written by Greenberg.

The ad is clever and genius. The voice over says "ONLY" but the text shows only "The top 10 best selling console games of 2015". Then the voice over adds "AND" and the text shown is "Play 360 games on Xbox1".

"AND" is the keyword here that justifies "ONLY". People not listening properly will take the message as "the only console that has top 10 best selling games".

Oh very clever, MS. Very.

jb2273708d ago

@theRedDragon

"The words 'from' and 'of' makes a world of difference. "

...no, they don't.

They literally mean the exact same thing. Think of it in a sentence.

"The Revenant was the best movie of 2015"

"The Revenant was the best movie from 2015"

They literally mean the exact same thing, that the product derives "from 2015", or "of 2015"...that argument holds less water than a colander.

If you needed to twist the original statement to fit into a theme that wasn't an outright lie, you should see Rookie's explanation...we haven't seen the list of best selling CONSOLE games of 2015, but it's at least believable that Halo 5 might sneak on there if you take PC out of the equation...your argument of semantics in just wrong.

Either way, it had nothing to do w/ the bad old Sony biased media misquoting MS and everything to do w/ MS twisting the words to fit their statement. Either way the confusion is deriving from no one other than MS themselves, so you can't blame websites, submitters or that mean old English language for any confusion.

FarEastOrient3708d ago

The biggest problem is the data they keep using is the US NPD. One country out of 200+ out there!

Malacath3708d ago

Did you even watch the video?

They said they were the only console to have all top 10 hits and backwards compatibility.

Yes ps4 did have all top 10 hits but it doesnt have backwards compatibility.WiiU has backwards compatibility but doesnt have all top 10 hits.

So what they said in the video was true

otherZinc3708d ago

@Eonjay,

Halo 5 Guardians was #1 for the month of October NPD. Then Halo 5 Guardians was #8 NPD for the month of November.

Halo 5 Guardians was the only Console Exclusive to do that in back to back months.

Maybe that's why M$ mentioned this.

@LostDjinn,

Wow, you actually went international and uses Japan twice when we all know this is a commercial for the USA. Like I said, the effort some of you guys go....LOL

Hint for Those that didn't already know that this is a USA commercial: now starting at $299 in dollar sign at the end.

Edit 2 at your new link. Lol, so your supposed mistaken link of a foreign market of Japan equals to another foreign market of Europe that has nothing to do with this USA commercial as well?

Lol, I rest my case.

Edit 3 @ below,
You said "I already listed a US link. It was the first one (in the first post). You tried to dismiss it."

What are you talking about? I already said that venturebeat link of yours of the USA top 10 games of 2015 from NPD included PC to add in tally to totals of some of those miltiplat games. Since MS said in this commercial "console games" which logically meant PC are NOT FACTOR into the equation and Halo was the best selling game of OCT NPD and also the only exclusive charted in Novemeber NPD..in the USA, then it is just common knowledge that that is what MS is referring to. Com on, it is not that difficult to understand ,dude. LOL

LostDjinn3708d ago

I already listed a US link. It was the first one (in the first post). You tried to dismiss it. I then listed links to every source available (just to show how it doesn't matter where you go) so that no matter how you try to twist it the results speak for themselves.

Now when pressed for proof on any of the waffle you posted, you post "lol" because you can't back up anything you claim. MS would be proud.

rainslacker3708d ago

If we remove the PC from the equation to somehow get Halo on there, wouldn't that shift the numbers enough to put UC4 onto the list? It was a pretty big seller last year.

I await your spin Rookie. Or perhaps you could provide some info which uses MS criteria for how they derived their marketing term instead of just spinning out of control crashing and burning every time.

I mean, obviously, MS is including PC in sales numbers, otherwise there is no way they could have all of them, because they didn't have 10 best selling games last year. They had maybe 1-2 which could probably be goal posted to fit into that list...and that's being generous.

Then what do you call sonys advertising of a complete VR experience for $399? (But only if you have already bought the camera will VR work)

Eonjay3708d ago

@Kribwalker

"Then what do you call sonys advertising of a complete VR experience for $399? (But only if you have already bought the camera will VR work)"

Good point and another example of PR. They knew they would sell more bundles but the chose to announce the standalone first and if you noticed during interviews immediately afterwards they denied it. They were playing some game trying to address two different regions simultaneously and it didn't make sense.

Thats what I would call it.

r2oB3708d ago

@ kribwalker

I wasn't aware Sony advertised a complete VR experience for $399. I thought they advertised the PSVR unit for $399, and A few days later, a PSVR bundle for $499. Sony could have announced the PSVR bundle out the door for $499, but one has to assume they learned from Microsofts idiotic mistake of trying to get people to buy things they don't need (like an Xbox One console and mandatory Kinect for $500). I rather like the fact that they announced a PSVR only SKU for those that only need the unit, and a PSVR bundle SKU for those that need a camera and move controllers.

On topic:
Is there anything wrong with Microsofts wording in the ad? Maybe, maybe not. But before I go any further consider these two facts: I am the only person in the world with a functional brain.... And my fingerprints. Wait, there is one more thing, Xbox one is now $299.

Problem is...it wasn't the only console which had all 10 of them...which MS directly said in the video.

This is shady advertising at best, false advertising at worst.

Bottom line is the best place for a gamer to play games and get the best value as a gamer is on Xbox One.

It's a shame so many "gamers" can't let 2013 go and dwell on an MS business direction that never came into effect.

So many PS4 console owners missing out on fantastic titles like Halo 5, Forza Horizon 2 and Forza Motorsport 6, Quantum Break, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Sunset Overdrive and fantastic indies like Ori, ARK and Elite Dangerous.

Oh well, sucks to be a half ass gamer this generation.

CaptainObvious8783708d ago

Actually, I'm a PS4 owner and I'm not missing out on many of those. Know why?

I have a gaming PC.

If you're a console gamer, the best place to play is PS4. It's a no brainer.

jb2273708d ago (Edited 3708d ago )

Let's see, never cared for Halo or racing games, TR is a timed exclusive that I'll play soon enough after playing what will most likely be the superior game in UC4, Ark is a buggy mess that will be multiplat when it actually cleans it's act up & Elite is a console exclusive that may see a multiplat release that seems at this point to be a poor mans version of NMS which is right around the corner. Ori & Sunset are the only two games on your list that interest me personally, but I guess since I don't share your preferences in the other games I'm "half assed"

All the while I'm not going to list them all but I'm sure you will have great ways to downplay games I've personally enjoyed (along w/ millions of others) like Bloodborne, Infamous, Until Dawn, The Order & Killzone...I guess I'm technically "wrong" and your opinions are the only ones that matter?

Bottom line is if you prefer to only own one box, either one is an absolutely worthy choice and regardless of what you feel, your opinion isn't the gold standard & the XBO isn't "the best place to play" for everyone...but with logic like yours I'm sure MS has a place for you in their marketing department because you deserve to be paid for all of the spin you are laying down.

OT: I'm past pointing out the spin in MS marketing, they've been down this path since they entered the console space & they have enough fans that don't seem to mind the half truths (this commercial) & flat out lies (QB full exclusive) to keep them afloat, so good on them. I'm an informed consumer & I see that some uninformed consumers might be easily tricked but I research what I spend my money on, and so far there isn't enough of an exclusive library for my personal tastes on the XBO to justify a purchase for me...maybe games like QB, Recore, Gears & Scalebound change that but I'm going to hold off until the verdict is in on those.

Until then I'll be gaming on the officially licensed "half-assed gamer's box" aka the PS4, aka the overwhelming market leader, aka the home to the highest rated exclusives of this gen so far, aka the home of the highest number of fully exclusive games unavailable elsewhere.

rainslacker3708d ago (Edited 3708d ago )

I'll disagree until you can point me to an extensive list of niche and mid-teir JRPG's, and a plethora of Japanese content which isn't made to target the western audience.

With a couple exceptions, everything that would interest me on the consoles in general, I can get on the PS4. And it's looking like I can play the rest on PC...although I'll get them for my X1. PS4 offers me more games which interest me and they are exclusive to PS. Heck, even the PS3 and Vita offer me more content I'm interested in than the Xbox line does.

So, no, not the best place for the gamer to play. But a good place to play for those that like the system, and have more interest in MSGS content.

Otherwise, even if I had to miss out on a few games over a few years from MS, I'm sure I'd still not miss too much. I've missed a lot of games over the years, just because I don't have all the time in the world to play games.

SpeakTruthAlways3708d ago

Oh please, cut that crap already, xbox is nowhere near the best place to play games, ps4 is miles better to do that, it has better hardware, has way more games, niche or not, it has got everything covered, it even has a top-notch baseball game. Xbox just can't compare to game selection of ps4 when xbox doesn't even have exclusives anymore, so please try fooling others that xbox one is the best place to play.

lvl_headed_gmr3707d ago

LMFAO all these "i'll play xbox games on PC" yet support PSVR instead of Oculus.

Ya sure you will. You've all got gaming rigs to play these games yet would settle to play PSVR on PS vs. Oculus on PC.

Also,

1.gamers asked for BC of last gen titles at no additional charge = checked

2. Gamers asked for XBLIVE improvement for paid members = checked. Apps free of Live paywall, dedicated servers for MP games, more AAA GwG xb1 titles, 2 free BC x360 titles per month, and more updates to the UI for a faster and better experience.

3. People don't want Kinect shovelwares and more focus on core gaming = checked. Rare is making Sea of Thieves, bought back cult IPs like Crackdown, Killer Instinct, and Halo Wars. partnered with some of the best developers and fund new gaming IP like Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, Scalebound, Recore to continue making their popular AAA games like Halo 5, Gears 4, Forza that people love.

Most requested features from gamers in addition to BC is External HDD support = checked.

Wanted additional option to play = checked. EA Access and real preview program to now opening Live to allow crossplatform play with other networks.

So the constant bashing and saying MS is all BS is just a myth that is spread by many haters for no reason as MS and Team Xbox are doing a fine job of making them mad with all these wonderful things they are doing for real gamers. That is all that matters

ShowanW3708d ago

20millon consoles sold is an amazing feat actually.

If these numbers are easily out pacing the 360 and PS3, that sold amazingly... that means people are buying it no passing it by.

@ShowanW

Last gen consoles didn't sell amazingly.

donthate3708d ago (Edited 3708d ago )

I think on the contrary, MS is building a lot of good will and a lot of discontent other places.

You can only overlook it for so long on other platforms. An example is the call for PS+ to have better games at reddit with massive 4900 upvotes and almost 2500 comments:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PS...

Not too long ago, it was the lack of feature updates on PS4 or charging for PS2 BC games or the high price of PS Now, when BC is free on Xbox One.

So I would say MS is doing a dang good job. I'm waiting for others to do the same, but not holding my breath.

Xbox One is only place to play top 10 console games? I'm down with that!

Cohagen:

Batteries is Xbox One's killer feature for me. I don't have to be tethered to the console when batteries run out. Also, the batteries last 4 timers as long as on my PS4.

I will take the batteries personally.

UnHoly_One3708d ago

I love when people count batteries as a negative for the Xbox controller.

It's a plus, a HUGE plus.

I use AA rechargeables, swap them out and I'm back in the game in 10 seconds. No wiring up my controller to recharge. I haven't played a game for even a second with a wired controller since 2 console generations ago. Plus they last 40 hours or so.

I don't wire up on PS, either, but on there it requires me to have two controllers and I have to switch them out then reassign it to myself in the menu. It's a pain. Plus I have to do it every 5-6 hours because the DS4 battery is godawful.

Be honest how many articles on here have you seen saying something like...

This is a console you were expected to pay more for when it first released. I'm sorry but it's not underrated at all, people can just see that something else out there is better then this one.

sammarshall1023708d ago

I couldn't care less if a game looks 2% better than the copy I bought and 2% is being generous because most multiplatform games look the same

well the majority of gamers have a differing opinion to you hence the sales gap.....so you will just have to deal with the fact people mostly want the ps4.

Magoo:

Justin Bieber, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are all popular too. Doesn't mean I have to be a sheep and like them too!

Heck, the most American's don't have enough savings to cover a $500 emergency bill. Doesn't mean I want to be one of them:

I make my own decision, because the majority of people consistently seem to make bad choices!!!

str8duval3708d ago

Lol.The majority of gamers are casual and have no idea the specs are any of the crap see you on the internet.. I'm sure you know by now that sells don't mean much when it comes to the the superior product. like someone already said the games for the most part look exactly the same. The only differences being technical ones meaning no average person would even notice them.

Isn't this the same misrepresentative claim that Microsoft tried to use to damage control their performance against the PS4 last year? Goddamn, MS. Those games are also on PS4 i.e. multiplatform so this is one hell of a stretch.

I also thought sales were no longer a measure for MS and it was more about that arbitrary "engagement" through XBL...?

raggy-rocket3709d ago

Whilst I agree it's not a very telling statistic, you're mistaken. Not all of the games are on PS4. Hence why they said 'the only system'. Evidently one or more of those bestsellers were only on Xbox or at least not on PS4.

Kane223709d ago (Edited 3709d ago )

are you serious..the division, fallout 4, call of duty, damn near every game they showed is on pc or ps4......

RosweeSon3709d ago

Yeah I bought Fallout 4, Battlefront GTA, Minecraft and FIFA 16 and none were on Xbox I got em all for Ps4 and the last 3 I went digital, GTA had nearly €2 million for free in a deal and FIFA came with 8000 FIFA points which on their own would have cost the same as the game so bargain really but yeah mine of those games were bought by me on Xbox ps4 all the way, why is there no Xbox exclusives on the list, they'd have something to dance about then.

rainslacker3708d ago

It's better than number of zombies slain....although I am curious as to what those numbers were.

Moe-Gunz3709d ago

Clever wording to avoid making a obviously false statement. That's what their PR team is paid for.

DopeTech3708d ago

Um....yeah,.....DUH!

Every PR in any company, we all know that!!

Moe-Gunz3708d ago

Why are you repeating what I said but prefacing it with "duh" like I said something else?

You're still overlooking this Remedy sci-fi shooter, and its 89% cheaper on Steam Deck

Before Control Resonant launches, you need to play Remedy's mind-bending Quantum Break, one of the best third-person shooters around.

15 Xbox Games That Should Make the Multiplatform Jump

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

GamerRN799d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit799d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead798d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica798d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL798d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit798d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash798d ago (Edited 798d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper798d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica797d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer799d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit799d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer799d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit798d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff2183798d ago (Edited 798d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer798d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff2183798d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper798d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal799d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood799d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff2183798d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde799d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Now that Remedy owns Control, it’s time to reclaim Quantum Break

Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.

Petebloodyonion815d ago

Totally agree with that especially when Quantum Break has several references to Alan Wake and Alan Wake make allusions to QB.
I do believe that MS and Remedy can work things out and MS has usually been nice to devs and publishers regarding IP.

Obscure_Observer815d ago

They can't "reclaim" what was never theirs.

Petebloodyonion815d ago

I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP.

Lightning77814d ago

MS is not doin anything with it. Plus they're doing a multiverse of their own so Remedy needs the IP.

If MS wants to have exclusive let it be timed for 6 months then go to other platforms. MS seems to be, let's say, generous with some if their games as of late.

Or have QB2 be multiplat from the jump, put it on GP. Keeping QB2 as an exclusive is kinda weird these days.

Obscure_Observer814d ago (Edited 814d ago )

@Petebloodyonion

"I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP."

Good luck

@Lightning77

"MS is not doin anything with it."

Japan Studio is dead nd Sony isn´t doing anything with Bloodborne either! Yet I can 100% guarantee that there´s a far bigger demand for a sequel, remake or even a remaster for that game from both PS5 and PC gamers.

That been said, why don´t you ask Sony tol sell the IP to Fromsoftware now that according to rumors, they bought Elden Ring from Bandai?

ZwVw815d ago (Edited 815d ago )

Reclaim? That would mean that they actually owned the ip at one point, which they never did (MS always has). Apples & oranges. Remedy always owned the Control ip (just not the publishing), as they have with Alan Wake.

About as likely as them getting the Max Payne rights from Rockstar.

mastershredder815d ago (Edited 815d ago )

Sending you game to a publisher does not mean they get "rights to own it " unless that was part of the contract (monetary/ strategic reasons). 505 was the publisher they worked with to publish and distribute it, it dos not mean that 505 flat out "owned" anything, clearly they did have a special arrangement that made them open to limit their publishing rights. and so here we are and big whoop

Jingsing814d ago (Edited 814d ago )

Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.

isarai814d ago

I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well
