Is this even surprising? Supergiant has made amazing and BEAUTIFUL games, Transistor is still one of the best games I have played on PS4 this generation. Now lets hope an Xbox release comes too, as more people really need to play this masterpiece
These promotions don't take away from the fiscal budget they have for internal studios. All entities of a massive corporation has budgets allocated for each area including 1st party and retail promotion. Not to mention, it doesn't cost them much to throw in a free game.What you buy the title for, Microsoft gets that at half if not more off. I do agree their 1st party studio investment is lackluster, but these promotions have nothing to do with them lol
I think ND does have a new IP in the making, but I agree. Think that studios do need to introduce new IPs once a generation at least
Does the One X have a unique UI all to its own? Or are we getting a new Xbox UI across all the devices?
Also where's the Pro support on the Early Access? Still running at far below the 4K resolution they promised
Well for early access, this game's free in 2018 but for now you gotta pay $40 to play it
@rain
But thats not what we're talking about, the entirety of the comment is whether they have mass market appeal and they don't. As proven by the numbers, its nothing against them, they def have a home and market on PS/ Nintendo platforms, but what Pachter has said is nothing but true.
@Razzer
One game, but even that one game doesn't come close to mass market with only 6 million sold. Mass market titles are like COD or FIFA, which average per annual title around 20 million plus
I mean even then, with the lack of exclusives for the Xbox, I get to play 95% of the Xbox's library while also enjoying some stellar JRPGs and additional exclusives
Best console on the planet
But the numbers don't agree, as no JRPG with maybe Pokemon, comes close to COD or FIFA or NBA 2K numbers, which are mass market holding titles
@ocelot07
Think you have a problem reading, he said mass market, not that NO ONE HAS BOUGHT THE GAME, learn to read then forge comments
But what about Pokemon? lol that franchise can literally renovate an entire console's fanbase. Yes a vast majority of JRPGs in general don't matter to the mass market, but you do have some great outliers
Microsoft lies about their financial business to their investors and the Xbox brand is actually losing money everywhere...they don't even fear the FTC or any government agency because they have them in their pocket - Sony Fanboys
BRUH, the Beta is free, literally today anyone can download it. Its just for early access
Whats impressive is that Zelda outsold Horizon with a barely (maybe) 3-4 million install base vs one with near 60 million. You'd think with the amount of importance the Sony crowd talks about in regards with exclusives, they'd support one of the best in recent memory on the PS4 more. Even arguing its a new IP, no reason why it should be getting outsold already by a game on a platform with near 56 million less users.
Thats because THIS IS DLC...literally all this Cabal stuff was supposed to be an expansion for Destiny 1, until Bungie decided to add in the Iron Banner DLC crap and shuffle this into a full blown sequel loll
Whats funny is that Microsoft has the marketing rights to the title as well loll. Without a doubt we'll see Xbox One S KH3 bundles in the future
Honestly would love to see a total UI overhaul, nothing wrong with the current one, but its always refreshing to see a complete visual change to UIs' through the generation
Gotta play Transistor, hopefully you added it to your library when it was free on Plus. But man its amazing, art in motion in my opinion.
