Halo 5 is really going to push XB1 HARD, Xbox is Halo and Halo is Xbox imo. I predict at least 3 million sales from H5 alone from release to end of December.

All of that combined with fewer cross gen games (as I've stated previously) + possibly another price drop would definitely make the Xbox One a more enticing system this year than it was last year for some people.


I agree but we don't know if that's what Sony will drop to yet. We still don't know many things about what MS and Sony will do later this year.

We don't know that will MS cut Xbone price even lower.

Overall, there is more chance that Sony will cut price for PS4 than MS for Xbone. Btw. price for Xbone is a promotion. If MS cut the price, you can expect OFFICIALY price cut to 350.

I really still don't understand your point. Cross gen ending does indeed help the Xbox One (and PS4) and the system being available for $350 instead of only $500 (the price the system was during the time that many of those games you've mentioned released) also greatly helps.

You are talking about "turning the tide" when I never said anything involving that in my posts to you. I simply said that it's possible for the Xbox One during this upcoming Holiday season in NA to do similar to how in did last year.



You do realize that last year's Halo was a remake collection and that Halo 5 will be the first true Halo game for current gen right? Forza Motorsport 6 is a simulation racing game and will more than likely have much better graphics than Forza Horizon 2 due to its realistic nature (as well as it more than likely not being an open world game). That should give the game more attention than Forza Horizon 2 got (even if it's the less accessible game). Tomb Raider should get more mainstream attention than Sunset Overdrive got last year since its not a new IP.

All of that combined with fewer cross gen games (as I've stated previously) + possibly another price drop would definitely make the Xbox One a more enticing system this year than it was last year for some people.

Oh we all know there will be "another" price drop... Don't forget, the current price drop is only a "limited promotion."

We will see.

DR3 and Ryse had a duration.. and then they came to PC, and that's where the story ended. Now if that changes and like 5 years from now it finally comes to PS4, then people can say, "I told you so! It was a duration!". It's a rather vague assumption to bank on.

I know TR is coming to PS4 eventually, but that picture doesn't really mean much... I mean they're a 3rd party dev, ofc they're going to have PS4's.

Yeah! And PS4 devkit is ON.

I believe that most Halo fans already own one. Sure, it will sell some consoles, but 3 million won´t happen just because of Halo. On the other hand TR has always been a good seller in Europe and as long as the timed deal last some time it might be a good system seller

As someone else pointed out, these people also make Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris on Ps4. They have to have them regardless of what happens to Rise.

Oops I worded it wrong, I meant 3 million H5 sales as in just the game. But when a game has that much hype going behind it, there is a big demand for the console for those who still didn't buy it.

Xone and ps4 had good sales last holiday season. I see sales being good for both, without any real dominance regardless of xone software line up. Ps4 will still be on top, even if xbox wins a couple months.

Er, why do they have umbrellas on their desks? Is the picture deceptive and that office has no roof?

Another year another Halo or Gears game and a racer, the cycle continues. Once again MS catering mainly to the U.S. and UK markets. I got tired of this in the 360 generation.

Ori & The Blind Forest earlier this month? Sunset Overdrive last year?

Scalebound, Quantum Break next year? Presumably Crackdown and Phantom Dust next year as well?

I had never heard of Ghost of a Tale, thanks for making me look it up; it looks interesting. I love the running animation of the mouse.

Below looks great as well, I hope Capy will make a PS Vita version as well eventually.

Problem with their fire alarms, sprinklers going off randomly.
It's a nightmare trying to work in those conditions.

If I enjoy a game I enjoy a game, a small boost in graphics won't increase my enjoyment. If it did I'd just wait for a PC release for most games rather than playing it on XBO or PS4. I might be a minority in that though. I was all but indifferent to the graphical changes when I moved from playing Warframe on PS4 to PC, it doesn't add that much to have it be a little nicer looking.

Same here for the most part, I'll be sticking to the Xbox One as my main current gen console for a while so I won't really mind multiplatform games running at 900p or whatever other resolution unless it's there's a bigger resolution disparity like the Battlefield games and Metal Gear Solid 5.

You just acknowledged it is technologically inferior and then asked if I really would rather have the better version. Obviously, I would rather have the better version.

I didn't ask if you would rather have the better version, I asked how big of a graphical difference you expect there to be between the XBO and PS4 versions of Rise of the Tomb Raider because you made strange comments about the graphical scope of the game being compromised due to being developed on weaker platforms.

The 360 version of Rise of the Tomb Raider is being handled by a different studio so that has little bearing on the XBO's graphical potential. Similarly, a PS4 version isn't going to suffer from lack of graphical ambition just because it was developed on the XBO first because both machines aren't that radically different.
