Stop spreading that nonsense


This is "exclusive exclusive" too right?

Whats your excuse now?
The exactly same was said for Dead Rising 3 and Ryse from developer and Microsoft.
But what did i play in 4k?Ryse?How can it be?Microsoft and Crytek PROMISED(do you need an explanation what this means?) that it WILL NEVER EVER be on another platform.
Weird ;)
Why can't you people accept that?Is it so hard to accept facts for you Xbox People?
The Advert with the PC wasn't a mistake - The mistake was the time it showed up - Probably a year early.

Sunset Overdrive and Qantum Break are pretty much guaranteed to go to other Platforms,mostly only PC which is fine.
I will play Sunset Overdrive and QB in 4k or so - I don't need them now.There is enough to play till then.
But i will enjoy Bloodborne too on my PC...oh wait i won't cause Sony actually knows how to keep their stuff exclusive and gives people a reason to buy their console.

Facts facts facts and you,Kowenicki and others will ignore them again.
Cause you can't accept truth like always.
But but the developer said and commented - Turned out well for Ryse and Dr3 ;)

@Topic
Pretty desperate
I can't wait to see you Xbots celebrate if you win NPD(and still lose Worldwide) cause MS needed to pricecut their console 150$ in a mere year and give away games to start competing with the PS4 which isn't doing anything special currently to set records.

Nothing to disagree or anything else but Insomniac Games never did a PC game before.

Pretty desperate move from a sony fanboy lol. How many alt accounts have u created?


It is desperate.  Come one now, you really don't believe they are doing this to "offer the fans the best price"?  Even if it is a good deal, see PR for what it is. They are doing this because they don't want to lose any more marketshare.

Wow... okay so now November is a must win for Microsoft. If they don't win November, It will probably mark the end of the world. I also wonder how Sony will respond.

Sony does have a bunch of bundles coming out in Europe. If they release a Far Cry 4 and/or GTA V bundle, then the PS4 can definitely outsell the X1.

You've also got to put into context the amount of deals MS has made earlier this year.



Matthewconner2100 on 27 October 2014

See a bit of exaggeration...Microsoft has not dropped the price. $400 without kinect is not what I consider a price drop. The console is not selling at a loss...the consoles don't cost that much to make. What about those $200 computers are they selling at a loss? Don't think so.

MS is betting everything this holiday. It really seems like it's now or never for them.


Well it pretty much is.  I mean they are probably getting in some early data for October and it looks like PS4 is outselling them over 2:1 already!  This is their last chance to try and claw back some marketshare before the PS4 burries the X1 with its 2015 exclusives.

So unless Sony drop the price by $100, I don't see them winning the Next 2 NPDs.

Haha ok.  Look I suppose there is a chance X1 could win an NPD now, but $50 isn't going to erase a 3:1 selling ratio completily.

^Only legit excuse I have seen so far as to why Sunset might not come to PC.  If Alan Wake, Mass Effect, and Dead Rising 3 eventually came to PC; then I see no reason why Sunet wouldn't unless PC development scares insomniac.  Then again this would be an excellent opportunity to get over that fear ;)



Normchacho on 27 October 2014

hhmmm maybe this will prompt Sony to do some sort of deal. I'd be more than happy with just a $400 PS4 bundle. That would likely be more than enough to counter this MS deal.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Shots fired. Nintendo remains neutral as the Microsoft troops start to mobilize, we're just waiting for Sony to officially declare Warfare.

Stay tuned for more details!
