Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft: Spread out your releases man!

OfficerRaichu15 on 23 February 2015

Ok first thing is first

I am very excited for some xbox one exclusives that are coming(particulary halo 5 since halo is my life)

but look at this.

Greenberg, a high xbox executive, has confirmed forza 6, halo 5, rise of the tomb raider, fable legends, and quantom break to be released this holiday(so  3 to 4 months).

That is way to many exclusives in such a short time span.

Nintendo and Sony tend to do 1 exclusive per month with 2 or 3 during the non holiday months and 1 a month sept-dec.

Now I know its nice to have more games quicker but look at it this way

Halo 5 and Forza 6 are Xbox's biggest exclusive ips.

This could put a lot of microsoft's marketing budget towards them and less towards quantom break, tomb raider, and fable.

Cause of this I am afraid that 2(quantom has microsoft fans wanting it so I think it won't flop).

Agree?

Does having 5 excluisves in 4 months(possibly 3 if he literally meant holiday 2015) raise the chances of 2 possibly 3 of their 5 excluisves flopping?

Aaron Greenberg actually never listed Quantum Break, 2 different people I know who listened to the whole interview said he didn't mention Quantum Break. So there's a chance that it's getting delayed to early 2016. I'd agree that they need to spread out their games more. Phil has mentioned that they plan to start doing that in the future.

I don't think it hurts them, They're probably doing it on purpose. It makes marketing so much easier and effective.

Sadly QB is likely delayed to 2016, which was kind of expected from Remedy, they tend to take forever making games.

yeah but having 5 excluisves in possibly 3 months 

+every 3rd party marketing deal they have(probably have 3-4 3rd party marketing deals this holiday)

will ruin the chances of 2 or 3 of these exclusives time to shine and be known

Why? Why wouldn't you be able to push for all of these games?

These are completely different games with completely different target audiences. Anyone wanting to buy all of these games is probably ready to shill out for them anyway.

Only a few years now until it's renamed to Final Fantasy XVII.

I feel as though Microsoft should be concerned about these games cannibalizing each other in terms of sales. The more known games like Halo 5 and Forza 6 could get the attention and sales while the more obscure games like Fable Legends and Quantum Break are shafted.
