Halo 5 was outsold by Need for Speed. Do you realize how sad that is?
Halo 5 has charted for two months so far, not including bundles, and Need for Speed is multiplatform.

Thats the real crime here.

Hey, MS.
Less talk, more walk.
Why is the aspect of time never taken into account?All the negativity toward Xbone...
I now own all 3 current systems (PS4, Xbone, WiiU). PS4 came first, and I loved LOU:R and Second Son, then came WiiU and ended up with many great games, and this week got Xbone and loving it.
At this time, PS4 is my least played console. WiiU and Xbone have more exclusives that appeal to me at this time. The reality is they're all worth owning if you have eclectic tastes and aren't a braindead fanboy (and have the money, which I suspect is at the heart of a lot of negative fanboyism).
Anyway, I'm glad to see Xbone turning a corner. A year ago I didn't really see myself buying one, but the Halo and Forza onslaught made the difference. I'm in love with Halo again for the first time since Halo 2 way back on the OG box.
Hopefully we see many more great exclusives on all the platforms. On Xbox I'm especially eager to see how Scalebound turns out. Bayonetta 2 was a system seller to me on WiiU -- maybe Scalebound will help sell Xbones to Platinum fans (yes, yes I know that's probably not a huge number).
So as I said before, despite your knowledge of the toxic policies, you rationalize your participation in their perpetuation by pretending that your participation doesn't matter, while blithely ignoring the fact that your decision runs contrary to the very market forces you claimed would save us in your second paragraph.Devs would put up with the more difficult platform is it had a bigger audience (see the PS2). Indies are going to the PS4 because there are more users, which attracts devs who add more to its library of games, ultimately influencing consumer preferences.
That's a market factor for MS that will, over time, continue to put more pressure on them to become more flexible. As long as Sony continues to kick butt and the PC market grows then MS is going to have a hard time enforcing policies that make the jobs of devs and publishers harder.
I sleep perfectly fine as a consumer of Xbox One. It's not my job to act like some white knight in the industry. I'm just here to play the games I want to play and I'd rather not get involved in the drama (read enough of that shit on GAF as it is).
At this time, PS4 is my least played console.

What if you have eclectic tastes, have the money, but you have a limited amount of time? In that case, does it really seem odd that people might lean toward the platform(s) with the most games and the most variety?
Seems like a resurgence of "you're only a true gamer if you own all three" and it's ugly cousin "such-and-such console is crap and I can say that because I own all three"
Wasn't really taking offense. Just seems like an odd absolute statement to make. You said "they're all worth owning if....Where did I say that at all?
I specifically targeted negative fanboyism. If the label doesn't fit you, then why take offense? If you're not mindlessly denigrating platforms you don't own then my comments don't apply to you.
As far as not having time -- oh, I do get that. I have silly backlogs TBH. But meh, I'm old, I have money, and I love this hobby. And even after all these years (started with Pong, Tank and Space Invaders) the magic is still there for me. And sometimes you have to make time for something you love and enjoy. Of course, easier for me and my wife since we don't have kids and probably won't.
He will build a pay wall so huge and make those Chinese xbones pay!Make Xbox Great Again

I own both and I like both - competition makes us all win.. If MS rolled over and played dead, you think Sony would actively throw money at their in-house studios? or vice versa?
...
Shit post that adds nothing to the discussion.
Not that sales have anything to do with whether Halo 5 is a good game, but show me the receipts.
Didn't it release on at least xb1, ps4, and PC? Not sure about 360 and PS3.
Combined sales, where was H5 in the individual chart vs nfs? It was its second month too without bundles being counted.
Halo 5 charted in October as well.

Need For Speed Undercover outsold Halo 3 when it released too....

As someone who's been a fan since CE, which I played on release when I was in the third grade, I can only list my personal problems with Halo 5, for which there are many.
- A boring, short, uneventful campaign
- Half-baked squad mechanics, made worse with brain-dead friendly AI
- Non-comprehensible story, filled with poor dialog and flat voice work
- Esports focused MP
- Broken ranking system (I ended up in Diamond, now I keep getting matched up against MLG clans)
- Small amount of maps, all of which are visually boring
[*]Worse graphics than its predecessor- Warzone is garbage
Of course, these are only my personal gripes, but I definitely see why this one is failing.
Are you sure about that?In October?

Are you sure about that?
Unless you mean it as a joke (NFS Undercover being from 2008), in which case, carry on.
I get banned for a fap joke and this blatant Fanboy shit goes unnoticed? Wtf..."How Microsoft is trying to polish a turd"

Xbox a greater revenue driver than enterprise confirmed.
What an utterly ridiculous thing to say.
