The video for Sunset Overdrive was impressive but until Canadians stop getting a gimped console, I can't buy into the Xbox One. We aren't getting all the nice features promoted in the television commercials. I want the same content the Americans and British are getting.

I see this thread as another call-to-arms.

Hmmmm... I hardly think it is worth buying both of them as neither has enough games to justify buying beating and then having to wait a long summer before the holiday season for a bunch of new ones come out. Last gen I bought all the consoles as you seem to want to do. Afterwards, I feel I did not really need them all too soon. Most of the games are multiplatform on xbox and Sony platforms. Though if you got the money and time buy it. I never regret trying the original xbox and 360.

A good thread idea, but really just do it. Open that wallet and that mind.

I'm sorry, are you refuting that the fact that PS4 is the only platform of the two available in many countries around the world isn't boosting it's sales even further ahead of the X1 than it would have been if both were available in these countries from day 1? Because if not, my point stands. It's a big time boost for PS4, not just now, but in the long run when X1 will be fighting against people buying into the system their friends already own there.

Sure in many of these places PS4 would have outsold the X1 even if it had launched there, but it would have still given it better chances there moving forward, and therefore helped sales.

Anyway, this is getting off topic, and I'm off to bed. 

 


Those couple thousand sales (yes thousand) in those other countries arent going to be much for XB1 when it releases


I'm so saving this post lol

Can't wait to see those "couple thousand" sales when X1 releases in the remaining territories.

I'm not arguing at all. I'm just saying how it is. If he is using Titanfall, then I can use Warframe and the like.

I respect his opinion, but you gotta give credit for the right reasons.

Didn't the 360 get like 90% of the sales it had from all the countries Xbox one was released in during launch? The extra countries will only be a few thousand extra every week at best.

Not winning me over yet, but FH2 and Sunset overdrive have my interest. Anyway as with all games, I'll wait for a couple of reviews before making up my mind. One has a rumor of 80 hour single player, the other a short gameplay trailer. MS is always good at marketing and making promises. Deliver first then I might bite.

I don't think he wants to know that most countries were there is a market (and since X1 don't have a supply constrain) there is imports from unoficial stores.

I mean, that's fine, but many of these are not PS4 exclusive, and many of them are just indies. I suppose it's not the quantity that's bothering me, but rather the quality. I mean, besides infamous, IMO the rest of the current exclusives are crap.


Even if its only on PC and PS4, it is still exclusive to one console platform, Sony. Since when is indies bad? Wait let me guess you haven't played them because most of them is not even out yet.

Indies aren't bad by any means, but I have a gaming PC that I've played many of them on already. And if your arguing that an indy caries as much qeight as something like sunset overdrive, then I'm gonna have to say goodnight.


Sunset Overdrive isnt even out yet, are we realy going with the second comming of the messiah thing we had with Titanfall again ? And indies are bringing many ppl over to the PS4, thats why MS is trying very hard to get indie suport like the PS4 is having. MS has nice exclusives comming up tough thats a fact.
