Funny I said Redfall and Starfield were ooking like it would be delayed and someone said no way that happens!..... till it does.
You know the whole thing about your metacritic comparison doesn't show much. Especially when Playstation and Nintendo games literally dominate sales in comparison I.e. they don't need to be on any service the way they're selling.
Playstation 1st party sold 45 million games in the 1st quarter. Can Xbox say the same?! No they definitely can't.
Also outside of Microsoft what other companies can pump in money on a loss leader like Gamepass?...
"Excuses, excuses, and weak ones at that. I don't remember you using the same argument when Sony goes months without an AAA exclusive."
And yet what does Xbox have to make it worth your subs? Lol. Complain about Playstation going months without exclusives yet they have more 1st and 3rd party exclusives released this year. What does Xbox got? Oh right literally NOTHING till maybe what Redfall? Starfield? Oh wow! A whole whopping 2 games?! 😆 ...
You mean Final Fantasy VII Remake? Which is literally breaking sales records? Because then that's an absolutely terrible example. It's selling so well it does NOT need to be on a service cutting into their sales/revenue/profit.

On the flip side did Halo Infinite being free or available to everyone help widen the base of players on Steam, Gamepass, Xbox?!
https://charlieintel.com/ha...
"According to SteamCharts, Halo Infinite has seen its player base decline quite a lot since its release in November 2021. When the game launched, it averaged over 102,000 players in-game at any one time.
...
"Sony has the same problem..they can't keep their players interested either. Only 10% of people who bought returnal beat the game"
Yeah and Halo Infinite on PC dropped from its peak of 256000 down to around 6000 players last month so what's you're point? Would think the huge drop-off from a heavy hitter like Halo is WORSE than a new niche 1st party game dropping off.
Overall not a great list. But I agree no way Killer Instinct should be number 1.
Some people just want to stick their heads in the sand and pretend the issues aren't real.

Player count is down to 2% of its peak. But apparently 343 deserve some flak for this mess. Lol.
https://charlieintel.com/ha...
"Over the last 30 days, the average number of players in-game has dropped to 6,097. The game’s peak players have also dropped from 256,619 to 15,961"
Don't know why any is arguing player counts with you. Literally dropped to 6,097 from 256,619.

"least 75% Sony fans trolling cause they can't get over the fact that it was critically acclaimed and won GOTY for players choice. They are on a mission. The better a game is or looks, the more hate it gets. Hellblade 2 is a perfect example."
Again proof? Is your own opinion? Plenty of Xbox fans and not Sony fans have legitimate complaints your glossing over. The point I was getting at was regardless of it being F2P they're acknowledging their own erro...
"idiot and being dead wrong the next five sentences. I called you out and now you're in a state of spin. Don't move the goalpost and tell me what I'm not addressing."
Moving goalpost? Like bringing up games that have nothing to do with Halo?! Go ahead explain how Starfield, Gears and Forza have absolutely ANYTHING to do with Halo?! Lol
Speaking of goalpost moving. I brought up valid points like Co-op which should have been availa...
"You do not need an active Xbox Live Gold or Game Pass subscription to play Halo Infinite multiplayer online on any platform.
Even the hard-core fanboys know this. Yet I'm the idiot. An idiot calling me an idiot. This is gold!"
How about Co-op which I mentioned?! You can't play that free and that should have been available day 1! It's an expected thing for all Halo Games.
Well F2P model should never have been the...
"...When Halo infinite and Horizon 5 came out the excuse was funny"
Its funny you think because you're personally not 'waiting' that everyone else isn't. It's very much incomplete as a game even WITH a full year delay. That's almost a year and a half extra since they delayed it initially and it's still missing a lot of key modes not to mention Co-op.
Also it's idiotic that you think the customers paying month...
FH5 is not the best selling in the franchise. FH4 is. Horizon 5 obtained the best launch sales in the series NOT the best sales overall fyi.

Psychonauts 2 was available for Playstation so your point here does hold up very well. Get your FACTS straight before you call out people. Lol
I don't know if I agree that the expectations will be the same. I would think GTA would have ridiculously high expectations since it sold 160 million copies.
https://4freegame.com/forza...
Its not the best in the franchise though. Part 4 was. It was the best franchise launch month though fyi

I guess some people will want this rumour to be true.
"It´s virtually impossible to release an Open World RPG free of bugs, but I got your point"
They're literally known as Bugthesda for decades its not new to them. Open World RPGs do not generally have the game breaking bugs Bethesda games. You literally have no examples to back up your statements.
Its pretty much guaranteed Starfield will have bugs like any other Bethesda RPG.
That's just it. All the Gamepass fans just complain about Playstation not releasing 1st party games day 1.... so what? How many 1st party exclusives are Xbox releasing this year? 2 maybe? It would be just as absurd if say someone said why wasn't Elden Ring on Gamepass day 1 or any equally popular game. So again why would or should a game that sells 20 million be on the Playstation equivalent?
How come none of those people have come in saying oh Nintendo should a...
@Logic
Talk about lacking logic. Truly ironic.
The only time you guys mention fall releases is when Xbox has something to release. Did you forget to get to the fall there's 9 other months? Playstation and Nintendo are releasing games from the beginning into fall. Whereas Xbox has what exactly?!!
