I don't get the question??? The price hasn't changed since Nov 2nd (or 3rd) 2014 [except for the 2 weeks in Jan]…So how would cementing a price that has been in place for 7 months (again, minus 2 weeks in Jan) turn the "Console Wars" tide????

Ahhh Yess…The old Placeholder Price. I remember people thinking PS4 & XB1 games were going to cost $100 USD ( http://imgur.com/fUMPzKv )…You guys remember those discussions right?

GamingBolt is just giving a quote from Co-President of Naughty Dog, Evan Wells. It was Evan Wells June of 2014 that said ND was working on a AAA on the scale of Uncharted
Co-President of Naughty Dog, Evan Wells said (last June 2014) that ND was working on a AAA other than Uncharted 4…But I'm not sure where in development it is now…Here's the link: http://gamingbolt.com/naugh...
"and only a few of those are going to sell well" -- Do higher game sales = better product??? In other words, If I like 1 of those games why should I care whether or not anybody else bought it?
1 - Mars Blackmon isn't going to code the game, so he doesn't need to know all that much about the inner workings of game making
2 - Is a legit question, but he's got skills to write story so I'm cautiously optimistic & like @Baka-akaB said, He's really passionate about basketball
GOTTA BE THE SHOES!!!
WAIT…I thought this was tablet games to Kindle but apparently its streamed from PC…I'm Interested, but not quite sold.
Not only lots of PS4 console sales, but a high attach rate too…So he's been doing pretty good
@GMR_PR
I get what your saying, but even on the Wii U Mario Kart 8 (1080p/60fps; very little if any hiccups) isn't that demanding because we've recently seen how Project Cars is working on the Wii U. Now... I am comparing those 2 games since they are on on the same exact hardware
@tuglu_pati
Nobody's comparing Mario Kart 8 to Forza 5. But I forgive you, you just got confused when you saw the 2 games in the same paragraph.
I brought up Mario Kart 8 to prove that less demanding racing games can hit 1080p/60fps easier than more demanding racing games.
@GMR_PR
What are you talking about??? Please quote where I put Mario Kart 8 anywhere NEAR Forza 5's level???
@tuglu_pati
@Macxb1
Let me if I can more simply explain what I'm saying. During the Actual Race (where frames per second actually matters) there is WAY more demand with all the features from DriveClub (& to a lesser extent Project Cars) than on Forza 5.
For example, during an Actual Race in Driveclub the PS4 has to process day into night, sunshine into rain, rain into snow,etc. AND simultaneously manage the engine that controls how the precipitation interacts ...
@Rookie_Monster
Forza 5 is NOT the only racer that is 1080p/60fps…Mario Kart 8 is 1080/60fps too. And before you tell me about the cartoony graphics of Kart8---Let me stop you & say Thats My Point!!!…Racers with less demand are easier to hit 1080p/60fps…So that's NOT as big of an accomplishment.
Now we'll see if Forza 6 can maintain 1080p/60fps while incorporating more demanding features of some of these other racers. If so…GREAT
@tuglu_pati
Still the only 1080p/60fps current generation game though, it doesn't matter how you try to spin it. -- WRONG…Mario Kart 8 is 1080p/60fps…And I bring that game up for a reason…Its easy to reach 1080p/60fps on racing games when they have little to no demand. THAT IS NOT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT
Correct me if I'm wrong, but with no weather or night driving (not to mention the crowds in the stands), Forza 5 is also one of the least demanding racing games on 8th gen platforms.
Now I expect a lot of disagrees but can somebody link any info that I'm actually incorrect?
@blackout
But what you fail to realize is that even though Microsoft has all of this money, the shareholders and top Microsoft execs don't like loosing money in ANY division. Shareholders don't go into meetings saying "We make enough money in these other divisions so lets just flush money down the toilet behind the Xbox division"…Thats not the way shareholders operate.
While I agree that Dx12 can only help both XB1 and PC (just more for PC), I find it odd that a lot of gamers take this "All or Nothing" point of view. Whenever a lot of XB1 guys hear about the possible gains of Dx12 they don't try to find out if the gains are for XB1. They immediately assume the referred to boost is for XB1 (when they know PC is also getting Dx12). But as I said in my first sentence, Dx12 will be a help for XB1 and PC (just more for PC)
@nicksetzer1
Who said his link was wrong? Debating 1 region's sales means little since Publishers and Developers care more about global sales. And thats why the trend is in PS4's favor
And Forza Horizon 2(end of September 2014 release date) didn't do well enough to win XB1 September or October's NPD anyways
@Rookie_Monster
Its funny that you say, "Lets look how the real world really work." But your list:
Xbox One (LTD)
MC < 330k
Forza Horizon 2 > 325k
SO > 280k
MCC > 1 Million
PS 4 (LTD)
ISS > 800k
TLOUR ~ > 650k
MC > 250k
LBP3 ~ 240k
DriveClub: 84k
is all from NPD which only tracks USA and not the World.
And we all know that P...
Didn't notice all that much difference except for the water & particle effects…Looked like PS4 was clearly on top with those
Regular Xbox One w/Game included. Microsoft is basically creating generic bundles to try and match PS4 bundles (much like they did with Destiny last year). So we'll see the same thing for MGS:5 & Battlefront, amongst other generic bundles from Microsoft.
