Not surprising. Microsoft made too many mistakes with the Xbox One.
One of the X1's biggest problems is that Microsoft lost one of the X360's biggest assets, gamers that only buy multiplatform games (COD, BF, Assassins creed, Madden, FIFA, GTA, etc). Those gamers are purchasing the PS4. The only way Microsoft can outsell Sony now, is with more exclusive games (big exclusives that sell consoles), but unfortunately for them, their library of exclusives consists only on Halo, For...
Not surprised by reviews. I knew this game was overhyped months ago.
Great game.
"Rockstar just announced GTA V for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Coming Nov 18th for consoles and Jan 27th for PC"
... later on Rockstar shouldn't complain that the PC version sold less copies then console versions.
@Oschino1907
Are you serious?
Every game that sells later on a different platform (with rare exceptions), sells a lot less copies then the original platform. Do you remember the difference in sales between the X360 version of...
"Unannounced PS4 game still to come this year, Sony ad reveals"
It's GTA5.
I don't think the X1 can ever catch up to the PS4. Too many mistakes were made:
- bad press since it was announced... TV, TV, TV, DRM, Always online, etc.
- weaker hardware, weaker exclusives and weaker 1st party developers in relation to their main competitor
- stupid name (Xbox One... Seriously!!!). Microsoft had audacity to come up with a dumber name then even Nintendo with the Wii U.
- The 500$ price for nearly a year. One of the dumbest mistakes in gam...
The wait for the PC version... biggest community.
"Game Journalism isn't Dead: It Never Existed"
Have to agree. The so called gaming "journalists" are quite a sad bunch.
Congrats to Sony... and September will probably be the same with the Destiny bundle. The PS4 compared to other consoles is unstoppable at the moment. I'm curious to see October/November/December months.
"Even when MS gave it away for free.
What a catastrophe. :D "
Wasn't the X1 Madden bundle with a digital copy? NPD doesn't track digital copies.
@MightyNoX
Seriously, you are quite stubborn. Bundles are not included nor digital copies on those numbers.
BTW... if the X1 doesn't sell as much as the PS4, automatically it's bad?
So if the X1 sold more then the PS4, it automatically would be bad for Sony ? ...
So they had the time and workforce to make the game for 3 systems simultaneously, PC, PS4 and a dead platform like the Vita ... but didn't' have the time (nor workforce) for the X1 or WiiU version of the game?
That seems a bit strange. Something smells fishy... I suspect a Sony check for console timed exclusive. They should just admit it and move on. This reminds me the story of Dreamfall Chapters as a PS4 console exclusive.
Some indie developers all so full o...
Game looks ok. Might try the PC version when released.
Looks like a lot of fun.
At this moment I think the master race applies more and more to PS4 fanboys.
And so it continues...
Remakes, remasters, collections, etc. There are gamers that buy the same game 3,4,5 times. Some people have way too much money to spend.
@phantomxll
LOL, so true.
It would be better (from a business stand point) if Microsoft purchased Bethesda or Rockstar... probably cost more then $2 Billion (??), but it would be a better investment and attract a lot more gamers to the X1.
For this amount of money, is Minecraft 2 ready to be be released in the near future?
Minecraft has peaked... it's not worth $2 Billion.
Imagine the number of 3rd party developers Microsoft could purchase for $2 Billion. I remember a few years back EA purchasing Bioware for $800 million... and Bioware is a much better developer then Mojang.
"Xbox One Suffers Worst First Week Sales in Recent History for a Home Console in Japan"
Not good.

"It's this gen that people finally noticed, one way or another, that Microsoft is playing cheap and dirty."
If you want to discuss something, discuss it... but please stop with your fanboy crap.
What exactly did Microsoft do "cheap and dirty" that Sony or Nintendo haven't done?
