Anyone who thought this was even a remote indication of sales needs to do some basic math. That's almost as many x1 consoles as exist currently. That number in sales would be the single biggest announcement ms and respawn could tout, if it were indeed enjoying such good fortune. Instead we have heard almost nothing about the game for the past year. At best it means it sold really well for pc. But likely is the result of free trial weekends etc. The number being reported is just another d...
Soo.. I don't get it... why are people trying to trash Sony for this. The games were good. The battery on the vita lasts forever. Knowing the cpu speed now means nothing other than there are obviously more important factors to handheld gaming performance than high cpu speed.

I'm trying to figure out if you just didn't pay attention or you are trying to be clever...
Halo 4 sold well.. But it was a good bit off from touching Halo 3 in total sales..
MS NEVER said Highest as you indicated. they said Best/TOP(which in this case appears to be referring to rate and not total sales). They also indicated this was for the US only and then even referenced sales per fiscal year in a very confusing w...
agreed.
Yeah.. The listed games were kind of poor. The problem is that there was no criteria outlined for why some games were considered Graphically driven games vs games where 1080p would actually be a challenge...
People forget that any game can achieve 1080p 60fps(even last gen) if enough things are sacrificed... It seems like the person simply threw more indie like games in gradually as he got closer to the present day.
Outside of the ridiculous list, yes the X1 is doin...
Honestly... Sony partnered with Taco bell with the PS4 did they not.. Exactly what demographic does that represent? I agree such partnerships are par for the course. You put your name anywhere you can. The more people think about it. the greater the chance they will eventually buy.
I think the key is getting it visible in a common place everyone is going to see. If a stack of mountain dew cases has pictures of the xbox on it at every convenience store, gas station, or grocer...
Raggy... You trolled... I know... it happens to the best of us... But you did... citing what happened in other articles does not justify it... If everyone did that, all we would see would be a whole long line of ugly flaming comments in every article. Be a better person... It is okay to disagree and debate... But don't hate on an arbitrary group of people for something they haven't even done yet.. Learn from the mistakes of the past.. don't repeat them.
To help yo...
Great Attitude Raggy... Assume bad intent even where there is absolutely no evidence...
Then use that as justification to make an off-handed remark regarding Shu.
I don't read all the comments on this site, but I don't think many people have a bad opinion about Phil across the board. In fact a large part of the reason he is where he is right now is because people across the gaming spectrum like and respect him.The few who do criticize are pretty much ...
@TheGreateGamer
I've not been able to access the 360 games offered via my X1... Is that possible? (I've not made a big effort I just assumed that since they weren't immediately downloadable from the store via the X1 they only were available to those with a registered 360.)
@MeliMel
Is that true? So X1 games are tied to your subscription. I always thought they were owned for life too.
Look. I normally dont get into these discussions.. But this is just getting ridiculous..
But... essentially yes. MS's cloud gaming is nothing new.
Ever heard of Folding@home?
Its been around for decades. even could run it on your ps3. It is an app that lets your CPU be used to PERFORM COMPLEX COMPUTATIONS REMOTELY and then be fed back to a centralized server. Basically someone was using your unused cpu cyles to do physics... Imagine that....
I hate to burst peoples bubbles... But we need to seperate out the fact from the complete and utter Marketing nonsense...
Will cloud gaming help CrackDown 3? It is very probable.
Will CrackDown or any other game unlock the cpu power of 20 x1's?
Lets look at it from a logistical/financial perspective..
With Azure, 1 core with 750megs of ram in the basic package will run you 13 bucks a month. This core is clocked down and u...
Poor nintendo...
Honestly, i think nintendo made a poor move. Seriously all of about 100 people probably even knew about the interview. Firing the guy drew probably hundreds of millions of people to this. Most won't see nintendo in a favorable light either way, despite what the nintendo faithful say on here.
Just release a press statement reaffirming the commitment to localization and that would have resolved the issue cleanly. If the guy really did deserve to be ...
Well in slight defense of Rocket... VGChartz after a year only has FH barely clearing 1 million. Its first week sales were dismal, and total sales in the US is still only at 390k...
You may not like VGChartz numbers and I agree they aren't always accurate.. But, even given massive margins of Error... The game must have faired extremely poorly overall.. I think that is kind of undisputed at this point. I've only ever seen arguments about it actually being a fun game. ...
Unfortunately, this deal was a bad idea. The media will have a circus with the first week sales and there after just like they did with TitanFall. If it sells less than 1 million the first week not to mention first month, it will be considered a failure as it will be compared to the first games initial sales across all consoles(which was actually alot more than that). Then SE and MS will try ignorantly to spin it as a success because it will sell slightly more potentially across X1 and 360 th...
Lets take a closer look at MS actions because from what I am seeing, they are blatantly throwing in the towel with the X1... Not throwing the towel in for the Xbox brand or gaming, but Definitely for the X1.
MS is actually trying to shift towards PC gaming and away from console. All their recent efforts point to this... Hololens/VR/Real Cloud enhanced gaming and pretty much every new technology they are working on is being pushed heavily for pc with little to no mention of e...
People who say that sales don't matter are really naive... YES sales matter. Because sales especially as they compare to competition play a big part in what 3rd party games will or will not come to a system and even what efforts will be made by the console manufacturer to support the system(take a look at Wii U. Sales aren't THAT bad but comparatively speaking it doesn't have the marketshare or total sales that other consoles have and consequently has very little support even from...
The Original Master of Orion was one of my all Time favorites! If it is anything like the original i'll be stoked.
I'm confused. Wouldn't winning the weeks after e3 be more meaningful? Basically winning e3 week and losing the next several weeks seems like a very undesired trend.... Not really something ms should be pointing out.
Black Flag was a launch title. It was offered free with console purchase during the biggest selling time of the X1. By the numbers there aren't a lot of people left to benefit from this one.
@donthate
You really don't get it do you? All those products still are on the market and address niche desires of gamers. It is one of the many reasons why people are choosing the PS4 over the X1. It is true that none of those products is a stellar hit, but people are buying them. Sony is expanding on the ideas of remote play and an expanded media portfolio. These areas however do take a backseat to Gaming. You realize that Move is a part of the PSVR experience right? Tha...
