Zanten on 01 May 2016

Soooo I took a looksie, and the image on the Gamespot article appears to come directly from the U.S. Xbox page, complete with the modified, '2015-less' slogan. It's actually the big banner at the top, no less. (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/consoles?xr=shellnav) Clicking the 'Learn More' button took me straight to the purchase page, so there doesn't seem to be any *footnote:in2015 addendum, and this was a page that had footnotes to specify bundle deals, terms and conditions, etc.

Fascinating. They've actually dropped the 2015 caveat entirely. o_O COULD some Xbox One exclusive game have found its way to the overall top 10 for this generation, and we just didn't notice somehow? It definitely couldn't have been Halo 5, but maybe the Master Chief Collection snuck up there? Because otherwise this is ballsier than the Destiny perfume ad. o___O

If you google their new slogan you can see that they "tweeted" it out a week ago.


Then it said "of 2015". Why did they remove "of 2015"?

Also here is a list (according to NPD) for the 10 best selling games of 2015.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
Madden NFL 16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)
Fallout 4 (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Star Wars: Battlefront (Xbox One, PS4, PC)
Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, Xbox One) 360, PS3, PC)
NBA 2K16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)
Minecraft (360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4)
FIFA 16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)
Mortal Kombat X (PS4, Xbox One)
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)

And? This has become one of those old discussions.  COD AW is not a game from 2015 and on place 11 is Halo 5 making it the console with all the  top ten selling games on its system. Their statement wasn't wrong that was never a issue.

Halo 5 is 14... from just 2015 #8 would be Batman in place of GTAV, Lego Jurrassic world in #9 in place of Minecraft, and Battlefield Hardline at #10 in place of CoD.

So PS4 and XB1 share the top 10... It is an extremely moot point from MS.

Oh my God, that tagline is hilarious. The knots these companies tie themselves into for good PR is astounding. XD
