The graphics gap is not closing :( sorry SDK warriors weaker hardware will remain just that. But in the end like everyone is saying gameplay is all that really matters.
400 mil is impressive. So since they aren't giving numbers I thought about it, and one way I broke it down was 5 million copies sold @ 60$ =300mil and that would put hardware around 250,000 units sold at and average of 400$ a piece giving 100mil to the total. Of course you can put more units sold and less games sold to get a different outcome but nonetheless congratulations MS. Octobers NPD will be interesting. A lot of melted keyboards I'm sure.
I'm grinding through some stuff in remote play and catching up on some anime right now. Friggin Japan overload (awesome) I put a stop on Zestiria so I could focus on DQ:H didn't know it was going to be this consuming. I mean that in a good way. Have Disgaea 5 queued up also....
Playing it right now. I think I'm at the end. Been really great. I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed the gameplay and story. And wow it's pretty.
To add to Edmix, It's pretty obvious it didn't sell units. X1 barely made a blip on retailers best sellers list's and didn't hold its lead against PS4. On Amazon the best selling console was PS4 for October which is very telling. Also there was no announcement of day one sales.... If it sold great we wouldn't hear the end of it.
This game is fantastic. I was really surprised that I liked as much as I did because Dynasty warriors type games never impressed me.
TheUpsetWookiee is my gamertag. Hit me up. And I stand by all my statements. I'm not sorry the X1 isn't my favorite system and I think it's not half as great as PS4. Loved Ori though.
Try it again that's what it is I'm on right now I'm playing Gears
@Fulnat- I have an X1 and would like to play this but I won't have time between The Drake Collection, Disgaea 5, Fallout 4, Tales, and BFront. So I don't have a problem waiting for the PS4 version or waiting till its 30$ on X1 later in 2016.
So what's your excuse for every other multiplat that looks better on PS4 then? What happened to Witcher 3, MGSV and all the others that don't use that engine? And Fruitjuice below nailed it by the way.
Even Halo 5 got completely gimped at 900p and poor all around image fidelity to hit 60FPS. And Uncharted is 900p in Mutiplayer only and even then looks miles ahead of anything on X1. SP is 1080p.
I platted Xillia and made it about half way through X2, it was ok but PS4 had just come out and I got side tracked from it. Zestria is almost a fresh start on familiar territory.
That's what I say. Incredible atmosphere, detail, lighting and effects locked at a solid 1080/30fps. You wouldn't get a lot of that at 60fps.
I am loving this right now. Bout 20hrs in and it's becoming my favorite Tales game. This is kind of a random thing but the character animations are finally mo capped I think. They look really good.
Ya... It kinda is. Cause if those little black boxes don't sell they don't get software, also the software will favor one over the other.
I foresaw this when I found out they were launching at the same time. MS's library of games is no match for Sonys. And people know it. Now that Halo 5 wasn't the tide (sales) turner MS thought it was going to be, it'll be interesting to see how they conduct themselves the rest of this gen. Literally this holiday was their last chance to put a dent in Sony's lead and the only way I see them holding on to the current ratio is heavily discounting the X1.
Oh you mean aim and shoot some awesome guns.... Ya the Order didn't have any of that.. /s
I'm trying my hardest not to look.
The Order takes longer to beat than Halo 5! Ya game deserves a solid 6.
Krib- No we're not talking about Halo 5! Lol sorry couldn't resist.
Greenberg... Ok your biggest exclusive of the year was a flop as far as Halo is concerned. Couldn't even move Xboxes ahead, and keep them ahead of PS4 on all major retailers best sellers list's. Forza.. No one talks about Forza. and Tomb Raider might as well not exist this year and that's not a jab at the quality of the franchise it's the fact of what it's releasing around. These Xbox guys just don't see the situation for what it is. It's like they think if they sa...
Ya I didn't take into account all the other merchandising and stuff which will bring down actual game and hardware sales in my estimate. But are you sure they were even including it in the 400mil? If so than I imagine it was more along the lines of 3mil games sold and 275-300k units moved and the rest going to accessories and misc merchandise. Either way I'm still happy for MS, they needed some good news going into their big holiday season, along with their fans.
