According to some it is enough. It should drive sales well into april. Sunset Overdrive could be quite dcent, maybe even really good. Quantum break is hit or miss.

Other than that there's still 3rd parties. But it's summer anyway and publishers only release games in summer that got delayed.

See that's what I'm wondering. I doubt it'll drive sales for more than 3 weeks let alone more than a month. There just isn't anything that will move more X1 and nothing that will get any buzz. Multiplats games get all the attention on PS4 since that's where they're best and I can see Sony finally starting to release more games (InFamous in March, MLB in May, Driveclub in Summer, The Order in Sept, and maybe Uncharted in Nov), not to mention a ton of indie games to fill in the gaps.

MS needs to do something because, imo, it seems the only reason anyone even mentions the X1 nowadays is Titanfall (as well as it's power dificiencies and PR blunders) and that's out in two days. They won't be able to ride it's hype train anymore.

MS has still a great potential in all the Xbox fans that haven't bought yet because they are waiting for specific games. You shouldn't forget that a lot of people wh haven't bought yet already made up their minds. So even 3rd party games can push the X1 for Xbox fans who were waiting for them.

We shouldn't judge the success of any console between march and E3. There is still potential to be tapped and X1 has all the cards.
