So your prediction is we won't see the NX this year unless we see the NX this year.... Wow, you make some bold predictions.
BTW - there's this little thing companies do called R&D. Research and Development... The research part is suppose to ensure their products are desired unless their process is completely flawed. Them getting negative reactions now won't make them go back to the drawing board since it's way too late because they are well into developme...
It would be one big miracle if the NX was able to cause Wii U's sales to increase so much to make this gen competitive again. Why do people think a next gen system is competing with current gen?
Madjedi, anyone who thought this was targeting main stream? So, anyone who reads/listens to NPR (had an article about VR going mainstream) or followed OR development were kidding themselves. Got it.
Exari, I don't know what point you're trying to make because I'm unsure what a full blown console, that had to have parts removed in order to cut costs, that was supported for 10 years has to do with the high price, especially for European users, of a PC peripheral
I worked at Target for 6 years. Systems that are returned are not put back on the shelf as new. During purchase the serial number is scanned. If it's returned and put back on the shelf then it has an invalid serial number and will have problems trying to sell it. The systems are either sent back to manufacturer (CRC), or the AP needs to go through the contents of the box, reseal it and sell it "as is" for like 40% off with a new bar code. Which, they don't do on systems beca...
The kid is 9.... If this is what ruined his belief then the parents are failing.
Mokuroku.... Wtf are you talking about? You're being conservative? Do you have any sources for your claims? Uncharted 1 through 3 had development budget of 20m each. And I'm pretty sure ND has a much bigger team than RAD. In development for 10 years? So they formed in 2003 and started a high end graphics PS4 game almost immediately? While releasing Daxter, GoW, Okami, GoW, GoW and game engine with tools? Seriously, stop talking.
RAD began hiring for The Order in early...
I disagreed because TR isn't some smaller niche game that would get completely overshadowed by major players in the market. It is and should be one of the major players and should sell well regardless of launch period and to some extent benefit from the holiday sales. I doubt this game would have sold much better on xb1 at any other time. It didn't sell poorly because of the launch period. It sold poorly because it alienated the majority of its fans
Didn't spencer say he wouldn't pay for a game to be made for it to come out on the competitions platform later? I mean, that's at least what was being pointed at to support the claim that TR was 100% exclusive before it was announced that it wasn't.
I doubt MS wrote any kind of check. Probably waived licensing fees for a certain amount and agreed to pick up marketing since every time this game was shown it was an Xbox commercial.
I doubt squar...

Where do you get Cod sold better on xb1? I thought software list from NPD didn't include bundles and with those included PS4 beat it out in USA.
Also... NPD is just US. Even without bundles I would think globally PS4 cod won
Also, NPD and all. Didn't even make top 20

And transformers isn't a Michael bay's film either....
And Jurassic Parking isn't a Spielberg film.... Right?
Bansai, an increase? Are you sure? I've never felt a shortage in female protagonist in games. Lara Croft, Mrs Pac man, a slew of fighting game characters, slew of final Fantasy characters, slew of RPG characters, make your own character gender selection in a slew of other games. Peach, zelda, samus. I could continue. And this also doesn't consider gender neutral characters either.
I think it's more bitching to bitch and taking credit for things that have been the ...
Let's get two things straight.
1. Noobdiary... That's enough to tell me to avoid clicking the link.
2. If anything is going to smite the xb1 it isn't going to be a paid subscription service. Even if Sony offered 3 AAA titles this month it wouldn't smite Xbox
2A. They are doing a fine job dominating as is.
@kribwalker
Other than spin, what's the point in using old numbers and including two titles not included in those numbers?
After three games the sales are over 21m as of months ago.
"the first three games in the Uncharted series, which have managed to sell an amazing 21+ million copies and garner an average 92 Metacritic rating, to receive a remastered release."

Thanks. That's a different direction than I was expecting but in my opinion just flawed and irrelevant.
I think the example of the games you provide isn't as simple as what, from your summary, the author makes it seem. Development budget, marketing, profitability and various other factors will all play a role in continuing the franchises and remembering them later. As for the example, I can say from my experience that I don't remember the...
It can be argued because that's very subjective. Even if everyone came together and acknowledged the Wii U exclusives were top of the class then it still wouldn't be winning since both Xbox one and PS4 have just as good of games on their console and in more abundance. (I refuse to click the link. I'm assuming the author is trying to claim Wii U games put the Wii U ahead of competition.)
Can we have a bubble down for showing complete ignorance on the topic?
It's not shipped. Shipped is probably sitting around 34m right now. You realize they will sell a few hundred thousand in Us alone this Friday... Right? Take into consideration they needs weeks worth of sales in Stock because it takes about a month from shipping for retailers to receive it and we are entering into the busiest period of the year. If they only shipped 30m, a mere 1m more than the end of S...
Vgchartz is crap. However, 400m was shipped and included everything halo obviously. You can just compare play times that Ms released to see the game suffered a huge drop off.
You can see that in Us/UK/Japan sales where the game is going to sell 80%. No way the game got close to 2m (even with digital included)
You can see that digital won't make up the missing sales through every other game released. (just look at fallout digital sales. Only 600k download ...
@divinealpha
He talks about fans being crazy. Then says that behavior is understandable. I assume he's talking about the reaction of crazy fans is understandable due to the fact those fans are crazy (you can understand that crazy fans are going to have crazy reactions). Saying that however would be completely redundant. Then goes on to say he, personally, doesn't see why people would care.... That's not contradictory. Regardless, even if it were contradictory, ar...
