None of the software data you posted suggests 3:1... It's 2:1... Which will probably be the going rate from here on out....

Which is still too big a market for most publishers to skip altogether...

Not the lack of story content, over priced DLC, annoying RNG?

What I'm saying is most betas are closed, but you claim that they are normally easy to get into...

Well if a company is planning to have a closed beta, it might make more economical sense to ensure that the people who get invited are actually interested in the title, and may not even use their beta key...

Instead of wasting an invite on someone who might have no intentions of buying the game, this is a way to Invite only those folks who are committed to playing it... You get better, more reliable feedback that way...

These open betas are usually really jus...

Really? The norm? The majority of games don't have public betas at all, and many betas are closed.

Yeah, they should stop making the game that people keep expressing interest in... Sounds like a great strategy...

Meanwhile they are simultaneously creating new franchises...

Nah, chief isn't getting replaced... Not yet anyway...

We're getting Team Osiris as a story telling device. Bringing in new characters with a different perspective is a tried and true way to logically educate the viewer on things that the Main Protagonist already knows...

Not really an accomplishment... The Xbox 1 had less than 2 million installed base at the time... The PS3 had over 80 million...

Also Gran Tourismo has always been a much more popular franchise than Forza... Typically GT will sell 10million copies, Forza usually maxes out around 4million...

It's already at 17%... And been on the market for 1month... Surely by 2016, when all of the bugs will have been worked out, and prior to the win10 upgrade actually costing $, most gamers will have upgraded...

Most people just play games, and don't concern themselves with the personalities of game developers...

Mention Gears of War to the typical gears fan, and hey have no clue who Cliffy B is, they just play the game because it's awesome...

If this game turns out to be any good, the people will play it because it's good. Not because they care about Cliff's personality...

I'm glad to see the gameplay looks fun, because everything I'd see up to this point was off putting...

Why would WE have to contact MS or Sony to get the game on consoles... It's his game, he can sell it where he wants to, presumably...

The title of the game makes me want to throw up in my mouth... I'll have to see some gameplay before I get excited about it...

I've always enjoyed Metal Gear games, but felt like some of the it's gameplay systems were a bit of a chore...

I've watched enough video on this to see that this game is damn near flawless... Man there are too many good game coming out in the 2nd half of this year!

They don't recode the games... They pack each individual game with the emulation software, so it "tricks" the Xbox 1 into thinking it's running an Xbox 1 game...

The console IS emulating real time. The xb1 runs the emulator, the emulator runs the 360 game. If they were recoding the games for xb1, they wouldn't need an emulator...

People who have yet to upgrade, might choose the console that allows them to play their old games as well as new ones...

No, people aren't going to buy an console just for BC, but it could push you over the edge of you haven't made a choice yet, especially if you plan to trade in your console.

Rares got several teams all working on different projects.

Are you forgetting about download speeds, throttling, and data caps?

Changing HDDs is annoying because you have to reinstall everything... And there's no easy to install anything bigger than 2tb...

Just be cause you don't need access to all your stuff, doesnt mean others shouldnt want that luxury.

Games are only going to get bigger...

BC wouldn't really be shooting themselves in the foot... PS Now isn't a BC alternative... The end goal is a platform agnostic way to deliver playstation games. It isn't about playing PS3 games on PS4. It's about playing any game on your Sony TV w/o the need for a console...

There's no reason Sony couldn't profit from offering BC, while also profiting from offering PS Now...
