How exactly does MS have more new IPs next year? In what time capsule are you living in? At E3, Paris Games Week, TGS and PSX NEW IPs were announced at each event... RIME, Horizon, WILD, HellBlade, Dreams, Detroit, No Man Sky, etc. Plus a raft of Indies coming to PS4 only.
In 2015 they were also NEW IPs... Until Dawn, BloodBorne, The Order, Rapture, Ethan Carter... These are far more than MS, who didn't really have much until Aug. What Sony did to "earn to their pla...
"The best games line up in Xbox history" including a MAINLINE Halo couldn't beat price parity with the PS4. The only way MS will claw back a few months, and have any chance of "winning" the holidays again is another price cut, and fire sales like 2014. The PS4 have apparently "no gamez", so imagine when the big first parties arrive?
MS started this Marketing deal abomination that we are seeing today. Last gen this is was what they did and it ...
Rumour is that the game will be cheaper on PS4. This was from Machinima, who in the same rumour mentioned that the game's exclusivity would be a year, which was the first time the duration was leaked. Can't find the link, but it's on youtube somewhere.
The game is great, sales though are disappointing. I hope this doesn't affect any sequel prospects. The game would have done much better worldwide if this was a multi-platform, especially release given it's relevance in Europe. Seem's Lara is the sacrificial lamb for MS's "Best Games Line Up in Xbox History" push. A shame really.
MS did not push this game at all closer to release. They took up the marketing responsibility with the deal signed. Howev...
I can't wait to jump back into this game. Also the sequel being announced is just cherry on top!
There are many more games on PS4 only though, which you've ignored on your list.
Console Exclusive - Also on PC, but PS4 is the only home console it will be on.
Console Debut - Launch first on PS4, coming to other platforms later.
PlayStation exclusive - Only on PS4.
Exclusive content on PS4 - That speaks for itself.
Ni-Oh, Yakuza, FF7, NiNo Kuni 2, a lot of Indies and VR. It was an okay conference, and alot of these titles not on competing platforms. Very diverse.
Bend, Sucker Punch and Santa Monica looks to be more E3.

Or the opposite because it will not have much to do with gaming. Like Kinect had many applications outside of gaming, and ultimately failed to do anything as a result.
MS's slogan for 2015 should be "Play the bestest-er line up in Xbox history". Not sure what comes next though.
Bold prediction: Microsoft also thinks it has the best 2017 lineup. The bestest lineup in Xbox history.
So to clear things up... "[this year we had the best lineup; next year will also be the best lineup." The last sentence is unreal. Which one is it?
All the list wars above... so now Indies matter on Xbox.
They won't. Watch this space... They will say they have increased their XBOX live subscribe base, and revenue increased due to having the "Best games line up in Xbox history"
With the "Best Games line up in XBOX history" MS should be outpacing everything. Doubt that they are though. Every console had a good black Friday. Wait on the PR if they lose Nov in the US.
Will next year be the "2nd Best ever games lines up in Xbox History"? I doubt MS can outpace the competition without another price cut and more fire sales like 2014 holiday.
600 dollars... but it was the cheapest bluray player, came with built in WIFI, Free online, built in HDMI and backwards compatibility. A high cost for all these features. Plus it worked at launch.
The cell processor was great, but it was completely different from anything else out there, hence the multi plat disparities. When optimizedm the games performed and looked exceptional. UC3, GOW3, Beyond Two Souls, etc. were some of the best looking games last gen. But it was all 1s...
I don't think this has anything to do with God of War. Maybe ThatGameCompany's new game?
It is an extremely short sited and poor business decision to have a game exclusive for a year on the the platform where the game sells less, performs poorer and has the smaller install base. No to mention the majority of the game's following is on the console it was kept off of.
The quality of the game is not in question. Its the success of it now and what it means for the future of the franchise. Square and MS may have killed this franchise with this deal. The "Holi...
What's wrong if someone cares about sales? This doesn't mean they are fanboys... although in many cases it is used by them to justify their choice (by the way there is no need to justify your purchases to anyone). It is also used by many sites to clicks.
However, If you like to follow the industry and look and how they compete then that's fine. My thesis was focused on the "Console Wars" and looked at market leadership and how many the industry leaders ...
I really want to play this game, but will I buy a console just to play it when there are so many other games to play on my current system? I think that's the question many are asking themselves?
Reviews are stellar, and its a shame this game wasn't released earlier in the year, or early next year. Many may doubt this but I think Square were tied into the "Holiday 2015" exclusive deal they signed with MS. I do hope it comes sooner to PS4 with the DLC and even...
I am not knocking Halo or anything. Though it is indeed the least performing of any mainstream Halo. It did do well by today's standards. I just tire of the "No Gamez" rhetoric, which is false. Sony may not have launched big AAA or new IPs in the holidays, but they certainly did more in the first 8 months of the year.
We don't have official digital numbers, but by all reports digital software did well on both systems.
