The fact ps4 BO4 charted in the top 100 for 3 months straight indicates it was a meaningful contributer to the overall BO3 unit sales while that can't be said for the fallout bundle - that's the fact we are working with, if you want to keep moving the goalpost I can see I am wasting my time here.
Btw - the reason why Xbox one sold well in October from an NPD stand point (if u want to mix Amazon with NPD metrics) it's because preorders are t...

Sure, I can do that - take a look at this best sellers list at #11 or so you have the ps4 BO3 bundle and no where is the Xbox one fallout bundle to be found in the top 100.

You can see this consistently over past couple months.
@kirb
You mean the $400 plus 1tb Xbox one bundle that failed to crack the top 30?
Yea, don't think so.
Probably because Sony owns the IP to ratchet and clank.
Interesting to see two ps4 bundles #1 & 2 on the list.
Fallout 4 on ps4 as number 1 and interestingly enough black ops 3 on Xbox as #2 - but it's difficult to know as Sony sold over 1.5 million ps4 bundles including black ops3 bundle so ps4 may very well have sold more BO3 When Including bundles as the ps4 BO3 is already high on the list after Xbox fallout 4.
Nah Grim Fandingo beats them all.
Xbox beat ps4? Lol yea right
Moving all your exclusives into a 3 month window canablizing and pissing off your development and marketing partners like square Enix and Bethesda and cramming games like tomb raider on the same day as fallout to possibly kill off the franchise is really doing the gaming industry a service.
Well I guess if you only have a handful of exclusives I guess cramming them into 3 months can give the appearance of quantity but honestly onl...
What a hyperbolic title.. im pretty sure the most disappointing game of 2015 is Alone In the Dark Illumination or Tony Hawk 5 - which received 19 and 32 on metacritic respectively. Surely, those sequels to an already establsihed franchise were most disappointing when contrasting against their previous scores and taking the delta.
Does Star Wars have disappointing elements to the game? Sure, but I would hardly call it the most disappointing game, there are other games that fa...

Steam is not microsofts platform - now the windows 10 store, a direct competitor to steam is microsofts platform.
If you meant PC/windows in general then no that's not how you define platforms in the context of software distribution platforms.
And the sky is blue - this is quite obvious that you cant talk about contractual details publicly.
I wouldnt be surprised if Kojima had been working in secret on a new game without Konami's knowledge - knowing the impending split.
Of course he would never say that as any work done under Konami's contract would be owned by Konami, so he really has to sell the appearance of a fresh start.
I wouldnt be supprised if he met with Sony a number of times beforehand also like Vince Zampella with EA.
Activsion tried to sue Vince of pre-planning breaking their...
Typically to have an executive leave so abruptly indicates that he is stepping down or "asked" to resign.
This move makes me think the tomb raider deal with msft may have been engineered Darrell and he is essientially falling on his sword.
Would be interesting to see where he lands - perhaps microsoft?
What are u talking about Sony first party games are all AAA. They help many indie devs with funding if that's what ur referring to.
Yikes!
Kojima was suppose to have announced his partnership with Sony at end of PSX per PS Nation. They did tweet out right after PSX that there was suppose to have been an announcement at the end but was pulled.

Optimistic about quantum break. I spent many hours in the world of Alan wake, truly did a fine job of fleshing out a place like twin peaks down to the zany dinner and odd hillbilly characters. The enemies and combat did get repetitive with the flashlight and shadow people.
The story was intriguing delving into the psyche of the writer(Alan) as he decends into.. Well I won't spoil that part. Probably one of the first titles to use pick up audio logs (novel pages in this ca...
Mike,
I disagree that is the "real" reason if he truly is joining SCE as its yet to be confirmed. That may be part of the reason but I think it's mainly about the goo relationship that exists and sonys world class new studio incubation program along with pub fund and other programs.
Regarding ur list honestly all of those are sort of iffy if they will truly turn out good with some exception to quantum break. Loved Alan wake but it wasn't cri...
Forming new studio and in talks with Sony per Japanese major newspaper.

It's not really episodic. FFvII director stated each of the games in the series will be complete games. Think more like the hobbit movies with one main arching story but with a focused story for each game that offers a deeper glimpse into the world.
I'm looking for a much more robust experience in midgar myself and spending more time learning about areith.
I wouldn't buy anything from Windows Store after having a bad experience with Games for Windows Live.
A few years ago, before Microsoft sunset GFW even though I prefer Steam, I couldn't pass up a deal for Borderlands for $10 on GFW. Boy, was that a big mistake.
It wasn't the fact that GFW was so unpopular that I couldnt even convince my friends to pick up the game for $10 so we could play together, it was Microsoft's continunity plan that bugged me after suns...
