Who would have seen this??

Now some people claim they want to rush out another console and start back at zero when their last two consoles have sold less than each of the two previous consoles...

It's so dumb.

Edit:

And what makes it even more stupid is that they claim this is going to be some super powerful console when their best success was selling a cheap console for people who just wanted game pass.

CBaoth397d ago

watch this go to slaughterhouse numbers since Kinect is about to be introduced to 360 fans. We all laugh about it, but the sales spike was real as 2011 remains the only calendar year MS outsold Sony. 360 will outsell series X/G by 30-35 mil lifetime easy.

rlow1398d ago (Edited 398d ago )

My question will be to those that said the 360 only made it into the 80 million range because of the red ring of death. That people had to rebuy consoles, even though MS fixed them all for free.

Does that argument change now because 360 is ahead of the series X ?? All of a sudden all those 360 sales are legit ?

As for the sales disparity, I really think Halo coming out in the state that it did and a 1 year dry spell for big games. Hurt the brand. Do I think they can bounce back? Yes, but it’s going to be good, fun games that don’t push an agenda or censor you that will revive the brand.

They didn't fix them all for free. They extended the warranty twice. From the original, I think, 6 months to 1 year and then to 3 years.

rlow1396d ago

They fixed mine twice for free. On top of that, red rings of death didn’t last the whole generation. They finally figured it out on the manufacturer side and fixed the problem. So the extended warranty wasn’t needed for the whole generation.

dumahim396d ago

@rlow1

Yeah, I had 3 fixed. Not all red rings either. I think when they had the redesign and it was made a bit smaller, the red ring issue died off. Regardless. The originals still had the issue and after the warranty was up, you were on your own.

Einhander1972398d ago

You bring up a good point, xbox was never as popular as people like to claim.

But even when you take that into account it's still behind the xbone, while PS4 sold almost 40m more units than PS3 and PS5 is tracking ahead of PS4 even through COVID shortages.

S2Killinit396d ago (Edited 396d ago )

The same question should be posed to those that wanted to count the sales to people who bought multiple 360s because of rrod, and in fact these sales WERE included in 360s sales.

They took the credit for these sales, now you want them to be excluded?

I remember when people confused chip shortage with genuine interest.

I know Gannondorf when I see him. Seriously though, wolf is a cool character. He’s not Akira Yuki, but he’s cool.

Sacey at Skewed and Reviewed shared her booth video from the floor of PAX East for the new Dune Awakening game.

I agree. I have not played it yet, but looking back to City of Heroes and the like which look better.

Michiel19898h ago

...look up a screenshot of city of heroes and while you're at it look up a non phone recording of Dune Awakening.

Garethvk8h ago

Don't need to as I played it and the sequel and I have seen this one in trailers and at shows.

Eidolon1h ago

Can't even tell, I saw one glitch though. Menu/inventory reminds me of Destiny.

Why Dark Souls 2 Deserves a Second Chance in 2025

As difficult and frustrating as it is, people should consider reliving the Dark Souls 2 experience, especially because of what's coming to the game.

Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.

And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.

CrimsonWing6911h ago

I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.

Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.

Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.

PrimeVinister8h ago

Completely fair. I cannot disagree either, mate.

MrWood10h ago(Edited 9h ago)

You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.

jznrpg9h ago

It’s not a bad game it’s just not as good as the others
