I love PG and although I don't have an X1, I feel bad for those people who do and were waiting for this. My friend who swears by MS was waiting for this since the first showing at E3.
It's hard to say who is to blame for it. There is so much speculation and so many rumours it's hard to say for sure.
What I do feel is that this game looked less impressive compared to the other games PG had made. The combat didn't look as tight, the 4 player co-op and mp didn't make sense, we didn't see any rpg elements in action and I couldn't see how it was an openworld game. It was the concept that seemed great and that's essentially what people bought into - a PG RPG with crazy combat, Dragon's and big bosses.
I'm hoping PG survive the fallout and Nier sells well enough to carry them through. As for X1 owners, I hope they have something other than a F2P game or another Forza this year. I can't see Crackdown 3 releasing in 2017 unless it's Scorpio only and Halo Wars has never been a big AAA game.
Whoever is to blame for this, this game must have been incapable of launching this year for MS to pull the plug during a year that is so thin on AAA offerings on their system.
