What i meant is that this is not just some annualized game that they are bundling, this is not Assassins Creed for Christ sakes!

This is FALL-OUT 4. The sequel of a 2008 game. This is a BIG deal in the gaming industry.

And they are releasing a vanilla Xbox One with a shitty box art.

This is borderline disrespecful to the Bethesda people, and the gamers.

See above.

If you ask why they pick Forza>Fallout, it's because 2015 is 10th year anniversary of Forza series.

Fallout? maybe 2 years later when Obsidian make a Fallout:New something.

 

Its painfully obvious that people arent giving a shit about Forza 6, the game is currently at #116 on the Amazon Top 100 (Never cracked the Top 20), and the bundle is sitting at #169 (Never cracked the Top 20). The game simply failed, flopped.

There is no way that a series that is annualized, no matter that its 1st party, has a preference when it comes to bundling, specially with a game of the caliber of Fallout.

Microsoft had the neccesary time to realize that Forza 6 flopped, and bet on arguably one of the biggest games of this holidays. But hey...this is just my honest opinion.


There's a very likely, good reason for Forza not charting high at retail. Anyone who really wanted the game, especially at or around launch, was much more enticed to buy digital. Unless they wanted the limited console, the digital versions of the game simply offered fans more. Retail had neither the deluxe, nor the ultimate edition of the game. MS even emphasized this with their marketing for the game. They're really was no good reason to buy at retail unless you really wanted that console, or you really hate digital.
