Congrats MS
Very impressive sales, especially for just 42 Countries
Excellent
just like other games on other consoles are giving ppl games in early 2015 due to delays, now X1 gets an early 2015 game
win, win
except for the haters, they'll feel deprived of an opportunity to hate as now they can't say "X1 has no games in early 2015"
A draw?
So no 40% power advantage then.
Didn't think there was.
Excellent
Looking forward to seeing it. Always room for more racing simulators.
Until now the only game on any next gen console to run a racing game at 1080p 60fps is Forza 5. Everything else is 30fps
Edit
@ Forn, not sure why you bring KZ into this thread but it is 30fps in SP and MP is not native 1080p. As for your comparison of DC and F5, let's let metacritic speak, DC...71, F5...79.
From the article:
"It’s hit this number after out-selling PlayStation 4 for three weeks in a row, UK retailers have told us."
If you think that's a good deal, wait till you see the $25 TLOU deal, like you said, not unexpected.
Congrats to Respawn and EA
EA said they are exceeding their financial expectation and TF is one of the games listed that is leading the way.
TF is also the highest scoring fps, next to TMCC.
Put into perspective, Sony said KZ had 3m individual users, so considering the difference in install base, that's some impressive.
You mean like DriveDud and LPB3?
Well said
The strategy used by MS is best seen in the quote made by Peter Moore (before EA) when Geoff Knightly tried to move the conversation to games being released the next year when it was still fall. Geoff was just off an interview with Jack Tretton and Jack had tried to cover up the lack of holiday titles with talk of next year. Peter said, in a disgusted tone:
"It's easy to promise the future, before we talk about what's coming next year...
I have some bad news for you
The 360 shipped 7.6m consoles its first year
The X1 will be 10m
But it geys even better
360 launched in 36 Countries and quickly added 4 more for 40
X1 launched in 13 and didn't add more till 10 months later
Clearly X1 has increased its market just like the 360 did from the Original Xbox.
And, if you like to believe trolls who say 360 had a 50...
Definitely been an enjoyable year
Really like the Kinect integration, which I pretty much take for granted, "what do you mean you don't just talk to your electronic devices?"
Great AAA games and apps too
TF
TMCC
SSO
FH2
F5
DR3
Ryse
etc
Looking forward to 2015
Congrats to beating the 360's 7.6m first year shipments, especially impressive...
Awesome
And now that most of the FPS have releases we see that TF has the highest metacritic score of them all. Next to TMCC of course.
Congrats Respawn
13.5m in 100 Countries
10m in 42 Countries
fixed
Edit
@ Miyamoto
I had to laugh when I read your response. So want to use Japan as an example of why X1 shouldn't be in the other 60 Countries, OK
Japan sales = 36k
x 60 more Countries = almost 2.2m
So you want to add the 2.2m to the 10m MS has already received orders for and is about to ship.
Ford says Abriael is full of it
GM says Abriael is full of it
Chrysler says Abriael is full of it
BMW says Abriael is full of it
Mercedes says Abriael is full of it
Audi says Abriael is full of it
And the list goes on
Any IDIOT can point to an exception to the rule
The FACT is that Japan is largely xenophobic
All this and the best AAA games of the holidays
The numbers you quoted are JUST for the sales on X1.
They are not combined with PC or 360, if you look you'll see they have their own totals.
Being on other platform that ppl don't own has no effect on ones enjoyment of that title.
SunSet overdrive and Forza horizon 2 just came out and will also surpass 1m sales.
ROFL
It was the first 2 weeks of November
The insecurity here is hilarious
Congrats to 343 Studio
Good to see X1 taking another win:
"As things stand, Assassin's Creed Unity appears identical across both of the new consoles in terms of the core art and effects work, with these elements rendered to very high standards. Overall, the Xbox One delivers the better gameplay experience due to its ability to deliver higher frame-rates under load. "
Edit, I have to laugh at the use of the word "nearly", kind of defeats the purpose of havin...
Awesome game
It's the reason I can't give my 360 away.
Hopefully this will come to X1.
