 This holiday is strong and 2016 is looking just as good if not better.

 

Worry about Sony and Nintendo.  Their lineup(s) are some of the worst in gaming history this holiday and beyond.

Lineups =/= First Party studios

I think the Xbox One lineup is great this year.

While not a MS IP, I think Titanfall not doing well took MS by surprise. That game was suppose to be the new Halo for them, and it sort of flopped. I really don't think they intended to have to find another game like that.

Exactly how many copies did you expect Titanfall to sell?


Was it confirmed to be sales and not unique players or whatever other measure they didnt mention?

Would it matter?

At 10 million players even, it would be clear that sales of the game were enormous, far-exceeding all but the most unreasonable of predictions.

Live? LOL Anyone who actually likes Live has questionable taste in gaming and I can not take their opinion on gaming seriously.


Live caught your attention? I'm more worried about 37 hours on Ryse

The things people do for love

I know, right? Remember when you went HAM for The Order, for example? Basically saying anyone who said they completed it in under 10 hours is a liar and swearing off pretty much any game anyone had ever heard about after it got poor reviews? All before even playing it yourself?

The things people do for love. Please, do not question or joke about someone playing Ryse for awhile. It actually has a pretty good online co-op mode and story :)

I had already played it. And no, there's nothing remotely good about Ryse.

No you hadn't, and yes there is :)

Well that's you oppinion for sure :)
I do not believe you played it either (like LudicrousSpeed) by the way because there is a lot of things that are awesome in Ryse (starting with graphics...).

Maybe I am just missing something obvious but what RPG does Sony do?

 

Or maybe you're ferring to 3rd party deals they do with people like From Software, idk.


Sony Japan has apparently got a JRPG cooking that "rivals" FF depending on how reliable you think Verendus is. Although many of them are collabs Sony Japan does with other studios like Demon Souls, BloodBorne, Rogue Galaxy, Soul Sacrifice & White Knight Chronicles. LoD is pretty great, underrated classic, the only solo JRPG so far.
