"JI: Can you state whether or not Play Anywhere has affected sales (up or down) in any meaningful way?
PS: “Man, I wish I could! As a gamer I’m a big proponent for the feature. I think we’re just so early. We’re going to learn, but even there we obviously don’t have – I’ll use Forza Horizon because it’s launching today – I don’t’ really have a good A/B test to say what it would have done without Play Anywhere, or even what it has done with Play Anywhere!"

I agree. If you're not having fun, stop playing. Games are meant to be enjoyable. Even with games like Dark Souls, if I start getting frustrated, I stop playing for a bit.
No, some sites just assume you know their scoring system, its pretty rare.
It just says 2.5
I submit positive Xbox news all the time. I just submitted a 9/10 and 8/10 Gears 4 review.
When the bad reviews come out, it's followed by a bunch of posters who act like babies about it.

I submit a bunch of reviews, I assumed it was out of 5 since most are. Apologies, Ive sent a ticket to a moderator about it.
Being in the 3rd spot on the hourly chart means nothing, Forza Horizon 3 was at #3 for a day or 2 and now is at #60 something. Being high up on release day or near to it means nothing and is expected. I do think Gears will do well overall though.
@Septic
It's the overall picture that suits me. Both are factors. I think Gears will do well, but not as well as previous Gears titles, just like how it reviewed.

This game is being slept on.
WTF
I can't wait for this one.
Were gonna start getting MAU's from Oculus soon no doubt. Lol.
One game doesn't change anything, especially one the mass market doesn't seem to have interest in. Forza Horizon 3 has been dropping like a stone on any charts I've seen recently
The article has a point, Xbox games aside from Forza Horizon have been losing their luster with reviews and sales. Recore won't even chart on NPD and Forza Horizon won't even break top 5, like Quantum Break.
Look at Amazon's Best Sellers of 2016.

Pretty much.
Agreed.
"This is tinfoil hat material."
Should be approved shortly then.
Well sure, if you like downplaying the future of game consoles.
"It is this device that I plug into the wall and I never really look at,” says Phil. “My phone is always in my hand, it’s always with me, the laptop is the same. But the console — it turns on, it might make a noise when it turns on but it just sits there.”
"There’s been a pivot towards Xbox LIVE when we think about numbers,” he says. “Not because I’m trying to hide from a comparison...
Exactly. They are just keeping it low key and not over producing to avoid any major problems if it doesn't take to the mass market.
Uh, around launch day it should be top 5 or at least top 10.
