Microsoft retracted their claim of 5 million sales. The only reason to do this would be if the figures were unsubstantiated, i.e. they have sold LESS than 5 million.

See the story update, now they've put in one of their meaningless figures XXX million video clips, or XXXX zombies killed. PR is a grubby business.

So now the Xbox One version has 1080p resolution at the expense of performance. Phil Spencer said in an interview it was important to have 1080p so the Xbone can be perceived by gamers to have equal power to the PS4.

However pushing for 1080p on Xbone has come at the expense of performance. Phil Spencer also pushed Bungie to make the final version of Destiny in 1080p but this will also impact performance. Instead of pushing developers to hit a number Phil Spencer should al...

It's tricky because Amazon have included classic consoles and the current bestsellers.

For classic console I would choose N64 because of the greatness of Mario 64 and Zelda Ocarina of Time and the hundreds of hours of local multiplayer on Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye and Diddy Kong Racing. But I would also consider the PlayStation 2 because it made consoles mainstream. For most people it was their first DVD player and the sheer amount of top quality exclusive franchises that...

I'd like to see a The Last of Us 2 with new characters.

Then The Last of Us 3 with Joel and a more mature Ellie.

Technomancy? More like parity. :(

It takes a Indian Microsoft executive to speak with a bit honesty.
Better than that Major Nelson PR talk where he always pretends that the sun is shining.

Yoshida tries to explain the 'mystery' of the fast PS4 sales.
•Some are Xbox 360 and Wii owners who have upgraded.
•Some are people who are completely new to console gaming and didn't buy a last-gen console!

Great! Although I don't broadcast I love watching all different kinds of people from around the world and the weird stuff they do. The best thing for me is that there will now be different music or no music possible - I've got bored of that single PlayRoom track!

It's kinda odd that while microsoft made all that song and dance about the Kinect camera but ultimately it never took off, there is this more direct camera program that has done much more to endear it to...

This website must be making stuff because they always under track PS4 figures and overstate the Xbone figures.

Blood Tears on the VG Chartz comments section said it best:
"The original games has gone on to sell more than 4.5 million units." What a joke! It passed 7 million copies already on the original, Sony already confirmed it. Much like 10 million PS4's and once again, no adjustments. Pathetic!"

This winter there is an abundance of Moneyhats falling from the sky. Please lookout for graphical parity.

Phil Spencer is in a position to invest in new games and studios. Instead all he does is wait to see what is a success or a hit and then moneyhats it.

He should be looking to have Microsoft make their own Tomb Raider or own No Man's Sky, but he has no vision and doesn't want to build, he only wants to buy.

That is just spin.
This exclusive deal is a PR disaster. So Phil Spencer is saying they saved the game so he and Microsoft look like heroes.

Square Enix could afford it the game has been in development for 2 years and is just 1 year from completion. Microsoft money paid for CD to stop them developing on PS4 and make XBO the lead platform.

1 TB is great but that colour scheme isn't.
I hope Microsoft can make a white XBO like the one in the Sunset Overdrive box with 1TB.

Does this mean that because they received a backhander from Microsoft they are going to ensure graphical PARITY and claim they are being fair?

4319d ago 28 agree8 disagreeView comment

I'm looking forward to this but why are the games only available for 2 weeks, I missed the motorbike game. Spencer should not just imitate PS Plus 50% but go the whole hog and let us have one month to download a title.

Microsoft's chequebook warfare wins again.

Phil Spencer can ask Bill Gates for unlimited money to deprive other brand console owners and in the end there isn't a single third party company that can say no.

It don't matter how good the quality of Nintendo and Sony's games are. It doesn't matter how much they invest in indies and experimental titles. It doesn't matter how much they listen to developers and make quality hardware and sell ...

Microsoft and Square Enix will do it all again with Final Fantasy XV.

@wonderfulmonkeyman.
I'd like to see a sequel to those games too. But the article is about a remaster!

How about a remastered double pack featuring Zelda Ocarina of Time and Mjora's mask. That would be so sweet.
