Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Does MS have an IP that on level with Gears or Halo that we don't know about?

Right now it certainly doesn't look like it, everything they've shown aside from Halo of course seems to all be rather small/medium sized.

I guess they hoped for Titanfall to do it and if that had done better (it's selling well but not mindblowingly well, especially considering the bundles) they might have picked that up from EA, but right now I don't see any new mega franchises on MS platter.

We never really know, games today not only get huge because of what it gives but what the community does with it, see Minecraft or demon/dark souls... Project spark can be huge or fail honestly who knows for real...



Well, we won't know until it comes out, will we?

They have a couple of new IPs in the works, but it'll be tough to equal the success of Halo and Gears.

There is a difference between a AAA game and a low budget or AA game that sells extremely well (Minecraft). The profit margin on those games are huge if they get a large return. I've acknowledged that MS has some good games coming but they are only mid level games. The big games are the usual status quo titles. I think I realized that Quantum Break might be that game. Hopefully it is.



I'm pretty sure people fap to MS bashing. Everyday!!!

Anyway if Titanfall is not a mind blowing seller what is it?
It's attach ratio to X1 is second to none. Imagine if X1 had sold 6+million when Titanfall was released.

Coming 2017!!! I hope anyway.



Hopefully something like Quantum Break, Scalebound, Crackdown or some new thing that we don't know about surprises us.



Yeah they need to work on that People are getting tired of Gears and Halo.

Are they though? lol Halo seems to be the only thing people will buy an Xbox for. And Gears is far away so I wouldn't know, but Gears 3 was a masterpiece.
