Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Rumor: Microsoft “Going in Hard” in 2015 Holiday Season; Quantum Break on Xbox One Targeting September

2015 will be the second full year of life of the new generation of consoles, and according to industry insider shinobi602, who is normally well informed and reliable in what his sources share with him, mentioned that Microsoft has big plans for the holiday season.

Shinobi also elaborated further, mentioning that he’s talking about more than Halo 5: Guardians and Tomb Raider and we’re looking mostly at titles developed in-house. His sources did not bring up Crackdown as a 2015 game,  but he explained that Quantum Break is targeting a September release date.

After a while, he also mentioned that Sony has some hard hitters in the pipeline as well, and there are “All kinds of good things for XB1 and PS4 owners” coming.

Of course, as it’s usual with this kind of information coming from insiders, it should be taken with a grain of salt despite Shinobi’s usual reliability (for instance he described Guerrilla Games’ new RPG’s leaked key artwork to a T months before it actually surfaced).

One thing is for sure: the battle for console supremacy next year is going to be even more heated than the one we’re seeing in 2014.

Ofc they are gonna be "Going in Hard."  Their biggest IP is coming out that year.  As far as Quantum Break goes, after all the delays Alan Wake had no release date should be taken seriously this far away.

Also Tomb Raider, Crackdown, Scalebound and phantom dust.

Last time I went into something hard, I ended up with twins.
OT: They have their backs to the wall. Of course they are going in hard. They have to bring their A game this winter. Sony is going to go half-ass and they will still sell a ton.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

Hopefully some of Rare's golden IP!

The battle is already lost for 2015 but it's good if they bring enough exclusives for X1 gamers to justify our purchase , the second year of a console is supposed to be really big



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

This article is about 2015 not this year. Next year PS4 will be getting some really big games.

Aren't all 3 companies "going in hard" though? You have uncharted from ND/Sony, Zelda from Nintendo and that from MS



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

i think, its very late. summer ?  bloodborne and the order 1886, february is amazing. And persona 5 + uncharted 4 are coming 2015.

why so late with QB ?



QB would be better in July/August, they're gonna make it flop because of bad schedule



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m
