That deal with Microsoft will probably end fairly soonish.
Activision could get away with that when Cod was selling more on the Xbox brand, but with an estimated significantly higher sells on the Playstation brand, it will take alot more money from Ms to make that deal worth it for Activision. (or any other developer)
All of the advantages Microsoft had last Gen have evaporated.
You owe the DUP an apology for comparing them to the villains at MS.
Anyone who thinks that gaming is better because Microsoft is pushing Sony further is nuts. Gaming has gone down hill since Microsoft entered the business.
I wont argue that competition usually breeds better quality, IF both parties are hard working/respectable companies. MS is known for being a scumbag/immoral company since the early 1980s. (It's only got worse since then)
BS DLC / Paying for reviews / gimping games, because it runs better on another syst...
If Microsoft worked as hard making video games, as they do trying to decieve people, they would actually have a product worth buying.
People are starting to realize that Microsoft is a toxin to the video game industry, not an improvement. It is nice to see that people are starting to turn their backs on these awful scumbag corporations.
Well duh, what kind of Monster would ban you for doing nothing wrong? Oh wait.
When you cut your car roster in half. That is a huge compromise.
Bad is not Good, and Good is not Bad.
Prayer isn't for gaming. You shouldn't be so disrespectful. Prayer is for increasing your odds on winning the lottery. ;)
When nobody goes out to by a Wii U to play Bayonetta 2. That is all your previous Bayonetta 1 fans saying F#*k YOU!!!
That is because Ms has a history of constantly crying wolf. Ms spends more time trying to convince people they have a great product, INSTEAD of actually making a great product.
Ms is and always has been a scumbag company. They are in the same league as the Monsanto's, and Enron's of this world.
So yeah, we choose to recognize that 99.99% of everything Ms says is absolute deception. (and the other .01% is exaggerations)
@MikeMyers
Not sure how you can criticize Hicken's statement?
Microsoft wants people to believe that they are doing as well as Sony, but the FACTUAL MATH shows that they are not even close to the same sells as the PS4.
It's not a fanboy hate thing, It's just MATH.
Sony is selling MORE consoles in every single country, and are doing it at a much FASTER pace.
"well ps4 is #10 in usa amazon and xbox one is #53"
This right here has to be terrifying to Microsoft. United States & United Kingdom was their bread and butter for the 360 over the PS3.
With Microsoft losing those two huge markets to the PS4 this time around, (and it looks by a very large margin) It's not looking healthy for the Xbox ones future.
X1 will sell enough to stay in business, but it looks like it is going to be ...
True, but advertising only goes so far. Word of mouth is what gets consoles into the 30Million+ range. Word of mouth is going cripple the Xbox One, not help it.
Just a guess based on reactions to both products, and their huge price gaps. For every one person that likes the X1, There are 20 that are condemning it.
Who, outside of hardcore MS fans are going to want an Xbox One? Word of mouth sure wont help sell Xbox Ones.
I just don't see casuals spending $500 for a console, and $500 is just way too much for an advanced TV box as well. Wii did well because it was cheap, and Nintendo have a very large exclusive game...
All the LAUNCH X1s will sell out, but once people get them home and realize what a piece of garbage it is, it's sells numbers will drop dramatically.
PS4 will outsell it 3/1 in US/Can/UK, and 15/1 in Asian countries, and 6/1 in Most of Europe. Once the general public figure out that it wont work without an online connection, it will all fall apart for MS.
Xbox one will not sell more than the original Xbox. It is to expensive for the Casuals/TV enthusiast,...
RROD is also an easy way to destroy your Xbox.
Turn on your launch Xbox, and you have a 90% chance of an explosion. (at least that is how the launch 360's were)
That video was fantastic. Holy Hell that was great!
In the words of the late great Bill Hicks:
To quote the late great Bill Hicks

Definitely a ridiculous article from Edge.

If it isn't smooth, then don't release it!
500 million dollar budget. Some of that can go towards testing and quality control.
I remember when games had to be finished before they got put on store shelves. Don't turn into Bethesda or those other lazy developers, Bungie.
