Souls is huge with the core community. There's next to nothing MS could show to outdo it unless, as I said, it's something absolutely huge like GTA or Fallout (which isn't happening). Nintendo still has Zelda though.

Combined sales for the two Dark Souls games across two platforms (Ps3/360) is less than 4 million.  There are plenty of games we already know MS is showing that will out do it.

These GIFs look awesome, the developer's pedigree is excellent.  This will likely be a fantastic game - I suspect 85+.

Thats no reason to just pretend its some sort of game changer - particularly not when it has been expected for a long time!

Only game they have that will outdo that is Halo (more than 4 million sales). Unless I'm missing something?

It's been expected for a long time? Last time I checked, a good chunk of people absolutely refused to believe even the idea that From would go back to exclsuivity. 

Two games sold 4 million COMBINED across TWO platforms.

The last game sold less than 900k on PS and less than 500k on 360.  Assuming a slim number of Xbox owners decide to shift to Playstation, this game will have to massively increase its market appeal to get even close to being the kind of game-changer you're describing.  To put this in perspective, the last Halo sold 6 times what the last Dark Souls sold, despite DS being on more platforms.  To put this in perspective further, Titanfall has sold more on Xbox 1 than DS has to a market of 160 million consoles.

The last bit is a matter of which threads we each frequent I guess, so I am happy to agree to disagree
