Amazing to see a console last 10 years and still getting great support
A lot of great games have come to 360 even after X1 launch:
TitanFall
Forza Horizon 2
TombRaider
MS really made serious money off the 360
Happy tenth anniversary 360
That's what's called a SYSTEM SELLER
Even a price drop from the competition couldn't stop Halo 5
Impressive
On sales for a just few days and it beat everything
Looks like the lack of split-screen was very much overstated and 343 knew what was best for their fanbase after all.
IMO, more so the used market; ppl looking for a deal.
But there are plenty of GOTY titles that could end up on the BC list that would be a welcome addition to anyones library and worth purchasing new
Great score
Congrats CD
Love those vistas
Really like the options of hidden places to explore, no speed runs for me.
This will sell really well
Just look at how well the $150 Elite Controller is selling.
Now others can enjoy these outstanding controllers.
And as the article states
"Wall Street is taking notice"
"Piper Jaffray analyst Katherine R. Egbert raised her price target to $64 from $53, while keeping their overweight rating on shares."
Allow that to sink in for a moment, contrary to the attempts to downplay this news, analyst have increased the target for MS share by 30%, THIRTY PERCENT because of a game.
That CLEARLY demonstrates just what $400,000,...
The reviews say otherwise
84 reviews in total
77 are 80 or higher
32 are 90 or higher
Even Forbes said:
"Halo 5: Guardians' Is The Best Halo Yet"
...and gave it a 9/10

100% agree
There is value in comparing apples to apples, usually, although some markets will always be anti-American or pro-national.
Comparing sales of 126 Countries to 42 makes no sense. But comparing MS's 42 Countries of this gen to the 40 Countries of last gen is much more relevant, and the Xbox brands continues to expand EVERY generation.
Great list of games for 2016, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
2015...
"Rise of the Tomb Raider features some amazing variety in visuals, along with a superb moody and intense action soundtrack when necessary. It’s filled to the brim with exciting moments, superb combat, fun traversal, and that core action adventure feeling that most games never quite reach."
Great score
And Great to see the game return to the core experience that made it a hit.
Congrats CD
Agree
Also BC, unlike PSnow, comes with no additional costs for games you already own or have downloaded previously.
Gamers can also purchase new or used 360 games as long as they are on the ever growing list of BC games.
"when we originally released the Xbox One the idea of us doing backward compatibility was something we didn't believe could happen. We were fortunate enough to have the right set of engineers."
That's impressive, a genuine effort was made to acknowledge the previous libraries of 360 owners.
I hope some similarly talented engineers are working on the Cloud Compute game projects.
Too bad about the gestures are being removed
It's easier to say "next page"
But it doesn't wake my wife if I use the gesture.
$60.00?????, for an indie???
That price doesn't seem right.
Let's hope it's a placeholder like the article mentions, at the very least it should be much cheaper on PC
Only those who don't own one.
This isn't the first time I've seen the medical community embrace Kinect.
They know good tech, they have to
Looks good
Fair bit of variety
Stars moving across the sky is a nice effect
The Aurora Borealis was nice as well.
Or
All the Hype about performance issues on console will make some ppl jump to ROTR until Fallout 4 gets patched.
Now that is a win, win, win situation
Fallout 4 doing great (except some issues on consoles)
ROTR doing great
NXOE will be great, especially all those great Backward compatible games, and the fast UI
A win win situation
Fallout 4 getting great scores (albeit with controversial performance on consoles)
and
Rise of the TombRaider; also scoring very well
I partially agree with you.
I like playing all the new games too.
Here's what NEW games I can play RIGHT NOW, and BC only adds value to them:
Gears Remastered...4 BC games included, great value, great scores
Fallout 4...runs best on X1 AND includes Fallout 3
Battlefront...playable NOW via EA Access
Halo 5...one of the highest rated FPS and biggest exclusive of 2015
Forza 6...highest rated racing game this gen ...
