I have warned before in a previous post about how gaming journalist were going to have their way with Halo 5 (good or bad journalists). The gaming world is becoming a joke, you would think you could trust journalist at least to help you out, but they are so bad and so unprofessional that they end up creating a lot of "uneducated fanboys" who have decided to stop thinking for themselves and believe those so called journalists only when it fits their taste, and complain and don't ...
What is with that all defensive stance? Halo 5 sold fewer consoles is a fact.
It is not just Halo 5 that is seeing his fan base reduced, COD, assassin Creed, Forza, GT6 some people are getting tired and "franchise" fatigue.
To put things in perspective PS4 with destiny last year in september was reported to have sold 300k destiny bundle by itself and PS4 had a total of 538K for the mont and MS was at 284 for the month.
So Destiny release month on Xbox One i...
Lol at comments from both side.
My take on this, overall it is a bad month for everyone. But there is not doubt that the biggest looser this month is PS4 cause they didn't even manage to sell more than last year with a price cut. Had they been able to sell even 5% more than last year the would have won the month.
As you guys can see no company gave the "I won" PR, because results are bad on both side.
Congratz to MS for the win though. Had they lost Hal...
MS needs to convince people who are still playing their 360 to upgrade to Xbox One without the fear of loosing their old games. Gamestop even had a deal to return your 360 and get $100 of the purchase of Xbox One. MS really made a big bet in the US this year (backward compatibility, Halo 5, Tom Raider, Gears, Forza), with their holiday line up they are really targeting Xbox 360 players that have yet to upgrade.
The Xbox One is not the machine it was at launch. A lot of things have im...
I feel like MS could market the hell out of MLB the Show a lot better than Sony is doing.
But with the reputation Naughty Dogs have build for themselves, I dont see other developers making games at their level.
So honestly what did you guys expected?? MS is loosing so it makes sense for them to be fighting their way back.
And also if Gamestop has too much stock of Xbox One, they need to get rid of them.
But in a Halo 5 launch period, I have never seen MS focusing on other things then Halo. That must mean they are loosing badly.
That is not really surprising. In june they were saying that 40% of their owners didnt have PS3. So a good chunk of that 40% is coming from Xbox. So those will buy shooter game on the PS4.
@Edward, every company does those spinning specially when numbers are not what they expected, so they have to add something or add something else to make the spin worth it.
Last generations, Sony keep hiding PS3 sales by combining them with the PS2 because PS3 was just doing that bad compared to PS2. Now that PS4 is doing way better than PS3 and almost as good as the PS2, Sony keep telling people numbers of the PS4 "alone", they don't even bother combining them with the...
@Edward
It's saying two separate things...
1. It is the highest rated Xbox one exclusive at 85
No it is not Forza 6 is the highest rated exclusive for Xbox One this year at 87
2. Highest rated dos of 2015.
No again highest rated first person shooter is Destiny the taken king this year.
So it looks like you are the one spinning and spinning again. It is just funny how easy MS got you with their spin and you went out to defend them only to ...
There will be no dividing. PSVR could be $1000 I would not care. What I care about is that they keep making those JRPG and they get relocated more in the west.
Just like other people care for Uncharted, Forza, Halo, GT and will be their main reason to buy a console. So VR/PS4 platform being the best experience is only for the one willing to do it and willing to pay the price.
That is what the PS4 is giving you, the choice.
Last gen they forced a Blue Ray and a $600 c...
What is this desperation lately with articles trying to fine anything positive for the "whole gaming section" that will even go as far to put together games sale (Xbox One + 360 + PC), subcriptions (MS is really leading by far with XBL subcriptions) just to show MS is ahead of Sony by focusing only on "this". Oh let us forget hardware cause if we had the whole gaming section entirely MS will not be up front.
Is this the same interview that keep generating new articles?? Cause if not that guy need to keep it quiet a little. At least wait when they announce that you have won October NPD and spin it every way you want to.
I knew this holiday will be a fun read on gaming site with Halo coming out.
Halo did good for a regular game, but for a "main Halo" game, when comparing with previous entry it actually did bad. And please let us stop with the "digital" excuse. Destiny on Xbox One did around 140 k, so around 10k less then main "Halo 5" with a way lower install base and being a new IP.
With reviewer scoring the game lower than any other main Halo, this game will no...
I remember when Evolved flop big time because of all the DLC and players said no to this. Why can't we do the same for other games too.
But I have realised it is not about having too much DLC, it is about how smart can you be about it to take advantage of the "stupid people". I was a stupid one when pre ordering Destiny + expansion pack for $95. Only to find out that later all would be available + a lot more for just $60, and I would still have to pay $40 to get the new...

Halo 6 will have split screen... why?? Because although Halo 5 will sell a lot, it will probably be behind what Halo titles normally do. I am still surprise that a big game like Halo comes out and we have no day one PR sales. So yes Halo 6 will have split screen
Are you freaking kidding me... This game is making a lot of money the wrong way and costumer should have said something about it and not purchasing or accepting those kind of thing. I admit that I bought the game + the first two expansion at launch. But as soon as they announced the Taken King that has everything I bough for $95 + the new DLC (which would cost me $40 cause that is the only one I am missing), that was it for me. I am not supporting this kind of business, I just wish people wo...
Now if the PS4 $60 Dualshock were to be better than the $150 Elite Controller now that woulb be news.
Even a crazy fanboy would not have the audace to say that the DS4 is a better controller than the Elite. From what I read about the spec and reviews of that controller it is really something special. That would explain the $150 price.
For peope complaining about the price this controller has his specific targets. It will sell well. I remember reading it can also be used for ...
In case you guys wonder how much MS is not worried.
On the week "Halo 5" releases, at Wallmart you can get Buy one Xbox One get one controller + a game for free or "Halo 5" for just $10.
They have kinect bundle (Xbox One + Kinect) available with 3 games + 3 months Xbox Live for $400.
On amazon buy any Xbox One and get a game for free.
Deals all over the place, free controller or free games and price cut during "Halo 5" release ...
I honestly believe that the game will also do bad next year on the PS4. It will lose the excitement of being a new game. 1 year form now most people will learn what the game is about and only a the few die hard fan will buy it.
Now I see a lot of people saying Square mess up, MS didn't need this, I think MS needed this cause before Uncharted 4 was supposed to be release in those holidays. But the game got delayed and Tomb Raider went from being Uncharted 4 competition (which soun...
