The OP means it's rumoured that the XBO had a rushed launch to compete with the PS4, and this period before Titanfall's launch was a "beta test" to iron out all the bugs.

Ex: New Twitch integration, Removing the sharpening filter on the upscaler, adjusting the XBO controller for Titanfall, etc.

Someone kill that thing before it breeds.

Only 11 months late, but better late then never.

Hopefully I'll have a PS4 and Sony will have their VR headset out by then.

EDIT: HERP DERP. The UK does it in ddmmyyyy format, so it's probably April 9th, not September 4th.

EDIT2: @Tier1 I mean from PS4s launch date, not from today. My math is wrong anyway, ~10 months from Novemeber 2013.

Xbox isn't going to gain much of a foothold in Japan. This isn't a slight against the JP Xbox team, but that's just the way things are.

They'd be better off focusing on their main Europe/NA territories.

So, a Czech and a Portuguese store are claiming GTA V next-gen?

I'll wait for an official confirmation by Rockstar.

Thank you for not giving this guy clicks.

OP's argument is kind of ridiculous. Billion dollar mistake? Now that is hyperbole to the fullest. While Titanfall is a good game, it's not going to erase the Xbox's deficit by itself, especially with the competition coming out with games of their own as well.

Allow me repost an old comment of mine:

"Keep in mind that EA made this deal back pre-E3, when it was assumed that Xbox was going to dominate the United States and this generation. This...

I think a bigger problem for Smash on the Wii U is it's 3DS counterpart. If people feel like it's not worth it for the HD version and get the 3DS version instead, that may hurt the Wii U more than anything.

Ninty was really between a rock and a hard place with the decision to put Smash on 3DS. Would you attempt to revitalize a console on life support, at the cost of not releasing on your bigger install base, and the profit that comes with it?

I hate to be a downer, but I'll tell you right now, the Xbox isn't going to do well. It's a neverending circle really.

The Xbox doesn't sell in Japan because it doesn't have many Japan focused games.

It doesn't have many Japan focused games because Japanese developers don't make games for it.

Japanese developers don't make games for it because it's not profitable.

They probably rushed the PS4 version out so they could have it for launch, hence why it looks so simple. It's not bad by any means, but it definitely seems rudimentary, especially considering how late in the game Twitch announced their support for PS4.

It'll probably get an update sometime in the near future, probably in April after Infamous: SS hits.

Don't mind me, just here to say goodbye to my social life.

Infamous & Titanfall are out this month.

I doubt it.

Keep in mind that EA made this deal back pre-E3, when it was assumed that Xbox was going to dominate the United States and this generation. This was also supposed to be a timed exclusive (Probably about 6 months, like PvZ: Garden Warfare).

After the E3 fallout, Microsoft hastily made a deal with EA for the lifetime, behind the back of Respawn. Zampella didn't seem too happy about that being done without his knowledge.

Because ...

Happy Birthday Insomniac Games, Ratchet and Clank was one of my favorite games to play when I was a kid.

I have to admit that the R&C series probably needs a bit of a break after Into the Nexus. While I'm happy that they're branching out a little bit with Sunset Overdrive, please Insomniac, come back to Sony! We miss you :(

This is a very uninformed article.

Let's take a look at this opinion from a current-gen, demographics point of view. Take the PS3 and the 360, and look at the demographics spread between LTD consoles sold.

Xbox 360:
NA: 46M
EU: 25M
JP: 1.5M
ROW (Rest of World): 7.9M

Playstation 3:
NA: 28M
EU: 33M
JP: 10M
ROW: 11M

When you think of the average Xbox gamer, what...

The PS4 is still selling very well. You can see the bump the XBO is getting from the pre-Titanfall buildup.
