TheHDRoom: "Microsoft's Xbox One Day One edition console has been a fixture on Amazon's video game bestsellers chart since it first became available. Even as we approach a month's distance from when Amazon first began accepting pre-orders, the Day One edition has yet to sell out. "
Disney Dreamlight Valley devs have officially teased the second part of the paid expansion titled The Spark of Imagination.

Waiting a decade for new instalments in franchises as massive as Fallout and Elder Scrolls feels like a waste.
Microsoft have Obsidian but I feel it's Bethesda who just don't want to play ball as they've always said they want to do it themselves.
Once MS bought Zenimax in 2020 they should have put the Outer Worlds 2 on the back burner, allow Bethesda to finish off its own Space RPG with Starfield (despite totally different tone why have two in your first party portfolio with two developers who's gameplay is a tad similar) and got Obsidian for one of their projects to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas.
When the Elder Scrolls VI is finished Bethesda can then onto the main numbered Fallout 5 themselves.
The Outer Worlds 2 started development in 2019 so putting it on the back burner wouldn't have been the end of the world, they'd have always come back to it once Fallout was done and it would have been nicely spaced out from Starfields release once they had most likely stopped supporting it and all the expansions were released.
If they did this back in 2020 when they bought Zenimax and the game had a good, steady 4 - 5 years development, you might have seen it release in 2025.
We are literally going to be waiting until 2030 at the very earliest for Fallout 5 and all they seem bothered about is pushing Fallout 76.
I disagree. Part of these games is the support for the mod community. If they move to releasing a "next game" every 2 or 3 years, the modding support plummets and the franchises turn into just another run of the mill RPG.
Make the games good enough to withstand the test of time, to keep people coming back to them and expanding on them with mod support.
Yeah, let's all advocate for smaller gaps between series' releases, then we'll probably get headlines about how the series have dropped in quality and they could have benefited from more time in the oven. Let them cook.
Bethesda [or Microsoft] would have to reallocate internal and external studios towards fallout and elder scrolls titles. Bethesda has the issue of developing 2 big IPs that are large RPGs on rotation. If you want more Fallout and Elder Scrolls, development will have to be outsourced.
By how fast Microsoft changes its Policy, its a good thing to wait until things get better.It'll get Cheaper, can play without kinect and perhaps backward compatibility.
Folks are starting to look past the price and see all the features that the console offers versus the competition. A few weeks ago the xbox one pre orders were outselling the competition 2-1 at Gamestop.
I'm surprised X180 is doing this well given what PS4 and PSN Plus is offering and at a better price.
Perhaps unrelated but how big are games this gen? If MS or Sony doesn't allow you to upgrade hardrives the systems could conceivably only hold a maximum 16 games before your stuck with uninstalls.
I buy about 8 - 10 games a year so I hopy Sony allows you to throw in a standard HD again. Terabytes are cheap these days.
The GameStop I went too only had preorders for Xbox One - 10 to Ps4 - 50.
Would not shock me if it is Balmer and the Microsoft guys buying them. I do not trust them to not add DRM and such down the road when people already have the system.
