I doubt most Xbox users will be to busy with Halo, go look at how fast Halo 4's playerbase dropped when a CoD game released a week or so after, it never really recovered from it either.
Also NPD doesn't include bundles, which the PS4 version sold a lot of.
For the lazy. http://i.imgur.com/PmG3gKo....
He's still in charge, but according to Gamespot, he's now just a contract worker, his contract ends in December. He'll probably leave when it does.

Because the movie is? Makes sense Sony would sit on it until the movie is close, market both at the same time. I doubt it's a 100% done though, most games nowadays aren't that complete a few months after release, nevermind before.
Greedy by selling the system at a loss of something like $200 a sale? Sony were stupid for letting Ken Kutaragi go wild designing it, but they wasn't greedy with the price.
Naughty Dog are just ignoring it, Troy is probably under a NDA, so if he does know, he isn't going to say.
I want another game in The Last of Us world, preferably without Joel and Ellie, as I liked how their story ended, but wouldn't be too bothered if it was. Saying that, Naughty Dog know what they're doing more than I or anyone here does, and I have no doubts they'll do what's best for the franchise.
Although Guerrilla are a very talented technical studio, I'll believe it when I see it, a solid FPS, in a seamless open-world game, with those visuals is going to be demanding.

That hasn't been an issue since the last major firmware update, like 6 months ago...
The Battlefield series went to the future almost 10 years ago.
They probably never will. They've said they don't even know why people liked BC 1 and 2.
That isn't exclusive to the FPS genre, pretty much every genre is, and AAA games started to about 10 years ago.
They both did well on the PS3 (especially SOTC), not all that expensive either, Team ICO was only around 25 people.
The head of SCEE (I think Shu has said something similar too) has said they don't expect it to sell loads, just more than Ico and SOTC did, as it (obviously) has a higher budget.
Square have really screwed up with this game, if it is that late, most of the sales on Xbox will be taken by Fallout 4, and 12 months later most PC and PS users will have moved on.
Hopefully the check was a big one, because we all know how crazy Square are when it comes to sales expectations.
I'd still take anything they leak with a grain of salt though, if they were gullible enough to fall for that Silent Hills story, it wouldn't be that hard to trick them again.
I do think TR2 will come to PS4 (and PC) though, MS would have said it Isn't if there was zero chance of it happening.
Leaderboard don't work, and the occasional frame rate drop in the Batmobile, but besides that, no.
They got $31,074 yesterday.
@Septic, Sony are only helping them with PS4 development, and that's probably just giving the dev kits are minor support.

What the sensationalist media and Xbox fanboys don't want you to know. Multiple sources from Sony and the development team debunking the false story that Sony are funding development.
Awaits the disagrees from said people, without any of them being able to counter what I said.
Sony aren't funding development, Yu Suzuki has said most of the money will come from Kickstarter. What Sony will be doing is advertising it when it's done.
Gamescon isn't that much bigger than Paris Game Week, they're just moving over to that.
