Good list

X1 owners will be pleased that they can play 60% of the list.

...and the other thing that doesn't lie...

3:1 ratio of Countries the consoles are available in

X1=42
PS4=124

without it, the numbers mean nothing.

More doom and gloom propaganda.

Perhaps it's best to actually look at a company that did spin off divisions?

Like Sony with the PC and TV divisions

Before that happened there where years of BILLION dollar losses and the companies credit rating dropped to junk status.

MS's Computing and Gaming Hardware Division has been profitable since 2008 inclusive.

X1 has continued the brands trend of growing the ...

To answer your question...

If you want to know if there is some huge discrepancy in the reported install base the answer is simple...

Check game sales

40m working console will not sell anything close to 80m

Make sure you check late in the console life cycle to capture any lasting issues

Here you go:

So you think the launch of a game with issues is the equivalent of "spitting in ones face"

That's unfortunate as it means many ppl have been spite in the face, for example:

DriveClub
TLOUR

IMO, a company that goes to the trouble of NOT JUST remastering, but adding content such as

New Cut scenes
new terminals
etc

has gone well above and beyond the norm.

T...

I think it would look great on my wall (as long as my wife doesn't see it)

Looks like AMD is well aware of the advantages of DX12 and its effect on the X1.

Rewind is an option.

Normally enabled on lower difficulties.

Not normally enabled on higher difficulties.

You can also customize the options so you play on the easiest setting but don't enable Rewind.

Your game, your choice.

"the absolute pinnacle of competitive First Person Shooting."

Ergo the reason it's the highest rated FPS on next gen consoles.

Funny to think that a game that commands 20% of the consoles install base would be considered anything but a resounding success.

What other exclusive games count for 20% of install base? Especially a new IP. A small list for sure.

Another perfect score, I've lost count on how many I've seen.

Really like the reference to the vistas looking like something straight out of an oil painting. Clearly the artists at Moon Studios are very talented.

That also goes for the music and game design, as per the article.

Well done

With game prices hitting $80 in some Countries, EA Access is now an even better deal.

3995d ago 1 agree1 disagreeView comment

It's really a no brainer:

If you're going to get an EA game, then get it on EA Access with a 10% discount.

That alone pays for almost 3 months of EA Access

$30 per year in advance is $2.50 a month averaged. That's easily worth the games you get in the vault.

A new copy of BF4 is around the price yearly price of EA Access

2015 is already jam packed with exclusives.

If quantum break goes to 2016 it won't be missed.

But it will be welcomed in 2016.

EDIT @ Georgenancy, I guess that makes March "the Holidays" then, ScreamRide just released, Ori and the Blind Forest is the top rated 2015 game so far, and the stand alone Forza Horizon 2 Fast & Furious is around the corner.

3996d ago 18 agree33 disagreeView comment

Yes

Meanwhile, exclusives with great staying power like Forza Horizon 2 continue to hover just outside the top ten for 5 months.

Impressive

3996d ago 0 agree3 disagreeView comment

Interesting to see some game with such staying power:

MineCraft
Forza Horizon 2

Not to mention the usual:

Advanced Warfare
GTA
FIFA

Surprised to see The Order 1886 dropout of the top 20 so soon.

If that is an issue then wait till the expires and replace the internal HDD.

YouTube is your friend.

It's not like it can't be replaced.

3997d ago 1 agree1 disagreeView comment

That is some very high praise

Moon Studios did a really good job.

The year is still young, but I'm sure they would appreciate being a nominee for GOTY.

Congrats are in order for the large increase in sales.

What you did with your comment is called "putting the increase into perspective", well done.

The only question is, why not put sales into perspective in your second comment?

Allow me:

X1 sold almost 60% of PS4 sales despite selling in only 33% of PS4 Countries.

Funny how some ppl feel the need to put things into perspective for some stuff but fe...

Campaign would be great

As would a Haloesque Big Team Battle

I was unaware the the highest rated FPS needed saving

I was also unaware that a game that sells 20% of install base needs saving, lol
