There was a hint of sarcasm in that statement... of course they are not rewarding the userbase.... it just makes the userbase who supported you angry.

Unless they move the date away from Fallout 4 the game is going to fail hard, and unfortunately the year break for PS4...this could really damage the brand going forward... but we shall see as I dont have a crystal ball, but i think I feel pretty confident that this game will sell less than the last one on 360/XBO unless it's bundled to death.

I have no clue how TR will sell.  I still believe its future is dependant on how well it reviews.  Halo and Fallout are not grand slams they also depend on solid reviews. Even if the game does not sell better than the last one, development cost was paid by MS so the cushion for the developer is that they can continue to improve the game and its tech on someone else dime.

I know from personal experience, I never get a Bethesa game until after a month for all the bugs to iron out so I probably will be playing TR depending on the gameplay.

Well some people will not buy a bethesda game on release like yourself and that's fine (some wont buy one at all), but were not talking about a small minority here, were talking about the person on the street, the avergage gamer.... FO4 will be massive. 

The two biggest games of of Christmas will definately be FO4 and Battlefront, I have no doubts at all. Coming out the same week as FO4 is crazy, it will definately damage it in terms of sales. I dont think many people will disagree with that.

I am still waiting for a delay but with games around it, it's a bit difficult to do that.
