Should have saved Forza till Q1 2015 imo

Yeah I agree 100% with this. Now there's nothing for the first 6 months of 2015 on X1. Fable might come though but that will flop for sure.  

Actually they have 3 games coming in the first half of 2015, Screamride, Ori and the Blind Forest, and State of Decay. None of those 3 is likely do do as well as The Order or Bloodborne, but the combined effect of those 3 plus Microsoft's 3rd party marketing deal games for the 1st quarter (Witcher 3 and Evolve) should keep Xbox One up over baseline decently. I actually think it would have been better to delay Sunset instead of Forza Horizon 2, if they had released it in February or March it would have done better imo.

None of those are system sellers. 

And if the price rises back to $399 then I think X1 will go even lower than 50k  a week. They need to make this $349 price drop permanent. Its the only way X1 can do well against the PS4.
