Forums - Microsoft Discussion - XBOX ONE will dominate this holiday homies!

It has been confirmed that the gears collection isnt a thing. As for the others, delays may still come... or worse, buggy launches as last year had.

Sony can kiss NA goodbye. There isn't going to be a single game that will compete with Halo 5 this year in NA (well, maybe CoD, though it won't get nearly as much hype). MS is gonna make a short-term aggressive price cut once more and that'll finish the deal. Sony won't stand a chance. I am aware that they have multiple talented studios that will prepare solid games (Sony Bend, they should get Persona 5, etc.), but this is a freaking Halo. A next-gen Halo. It will set NA on fire. Without Uncharted and Zelda there is nothing capable of stealing the spotlight from Halo.

It may even show a sign of life in Europe? If they cut the price here as well - who knows?



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

I'll just wait til E3 before I start counting my chickens before they hatch.

I cant tell if your joking or not.  Just to be safe i guess I'll ask the question. Are you serious and if so how many Xones do you think Halo 5 will sell?

Please put down the Halo Kool Aid



Don't care for Halo 5. Hyped about Forza 6 hopefully it can finally replace Forza 4 as my main sim racer. Also kinda hyped about Tomb Raider Rising hopefully its as good as the first one with a slightly better online mode. Hopefully it will have a online co op mode that is what I would like a lot.

Microsoft got the laid off workers from God of War ascension (Sony Santa Monica) and the last Bioshock to join Black Tusk, plus they got the head of Gears of War 3 at Epic to join the Black Tusk team. Its pretty much in the bag that god of War is at best going to be good or great with all of those names. With the old director behind the game it wont turn out like Judgement.


I actually haven't played either Ascension or Judgement but I hope this turns out decent.

Ascension was actually pretty good.  Haven't played Judgement the only Gears game I played was the first one and only the offline campaign.

PS4 is at 7.87 in NA. Xbone is at 7.14 in NA. Yes, I do believe Halo 5 will be enough to take over NA and from there on just keep on running. Remember that MS isn't shy to cut the price for Christmas. $249 Xbone standing next to a Halo 5? How is Sony going to compete with that? I'm European, so can't truely judge the Halo 5 effect, but I get the impression that the craze it causes can only be matched by GT when it comes to Sony's games. It is hard for me to imagine how Sony could turn people's attention away from Xbone this Christmas. Xbone is going to be the console to get this year, MS will make damn sure about that.

199$ xbone will do the trick...

I keep forgetting that Xbox is Microsoft's charity for gamers. If it gets to that, there is no hope of turning a profit. Stockholders aren't going to put up with that.



Too early to say now, Sony still have games like Ratchet & Clank or Persona 5. And we will see a big E3 from them. Just wait!
