Forums - Gaming Discussion - What games will MS market with XboneX now that Crackdown 3 is delayed?

Most likely Assassin's Creed and Forza.

It will launch with Not Much™ and Very Little™.
In all seriousness their focus on third party means they are basically doing marketing for games that will sell better on PS4

Has any multiplat game sold better on Xbox this gen?

OT: I don't think they were pushing C3 as a big X.B.O.X title as the big thing was always the power of the cloud. Other than Forza they seemed to be pushing Assassins Creed pretty hard.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

And MS has Forza 7. 

Yeah but you said they had nothing really big releasing the person you quoted said GT Sport....just answering your question.....so what was the point of saying and MS has Forza 7 lol.

OT: Multiplats and Forza 7.....that was easy man!

It's pretty funny to announce a 4K console whooping 17 months before it comes out, only to have multiplats to showcase it's power. Let's be honest, Forza always comes out on time and 4X the resolution with 4.5X  power increase on the new chip isn't really breathtaking.

With the competiton, he had to so something to keep the Xbox brand in the limelight.  Sort of backfired if you'd ask me.

It's clear that Sony has been handily out maneuvering Microsoft since the gen started, and that never stopped; it almost seems like MS is throwing in the towel as I'm not sure what they'll have to push x1x sales aside from Forza... Which can be played better on PC. This is why they need compelling exclusive content that can't be found anywhere else which would force people into their ecosystem. Quite weird the way that things have turned out. Phil Spencer seems more like a PR man than a company exec. that has any form of meaningful control.



I get the feeling, beyond the horrible mismanagement of resources, that perhaps there's something from higher up that's impeding the Xbox division. I mean, they can afford 2.5 billion to purchase Mojang to try to secure something along the lines of Lego for the future of the company, but they can't fund a single third party exclusive outside of Tomb Raider?

It might be tied to their position. When MS had Sony against the ropes last gen, it seemed as though the Xbox division had a blank cheque and could reach into their prodigious war chest whenever needed to gain an upper hand. Untold hundreds of millions spent on marketing deals, developing and pushing Kinect, fixing the RROD fiasco and securing numerous exclusives.

It's like as if there has been a serious overhaul to spending at Xbox HQ. Droping any studio not making money, not paying for exclusives, and pushing everything on as many platforms as they can to make the most money.

That's all namely to do with Crackdown being delayed and the dismal state of Xbox first party in 2017. Which ties in with what you're asking. They have Forza, and a few multiplats. Will it be enough? Hardly.



 

It is kind of nice Crackdown 3 is delayed. It would've been swamped this holiday season, and I think it is best it releases when there are less games available. Still, this game has taken forever in developing.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Yeah. I think the same about this situation. Because the problems started when Satya Nadella beacme the CEO of Microsoft. It seems that he isn't really interested in spending money on Xbox business. At least he seems to not care about being #1 in this sphere. He just wants to make as many profit out of Xbox as possible without spending a lot of money on it. I think that Windows 10 initiative was started because he wants every Xbox owner to migrate to Win 10 PC so they won't need to waste money on producing gaming hardware anymore.



 

Off the top of my head... AC, Forza, EA Sports, maybe older titles now doing 4K like Halo and Gears 4.

Safe bet X1X marketing is going to lean into having technically superior ports. Resolution, textures, performance, etc.
