Yes cancelling scalebound was a well thought out strategy. Why sit their and pour money into a game that isn't doing well and nobody is going to buy? Microsoft is rich for a reason because they make smart decisions or when they do make bad decisions they can adapt quickly. They can use the money they scrapped from scalebound to give us another game or make an exsisting game better. Rather than pour money into a game that isn't going anywhere. Microsoft published / created quantum break, Killer Instinct, Recore, Sunset overdrive, dead rising, State of decay, Ori and blind forest, Halo Wars, Halo, Gears, Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon which if you look are each different in it's own right. Soon we are getting crackdown, sea of theives, cup head and more.There is nothing wrong making same games at all. I don't want to buy a Nintendo system without zelda, mario, metroid and more. A lot of people agree with me because Forza, Halo and Gears are all billion dollar franchises. And who knows, Microsoft can make another billion dollar franchise or buy one out like they did with Minecraft which they can use in the future to push xbox.

Gears 4 sold 2.72 million units in 3 months according to vgchartz.
Almost nobody cares about Gears & Halo.
Gears 4 sold so poorly that Microsoft never announced its numbers.
Uncharted 4 sold as many copies in just 2 weeks.

lol I'm quite happy about 2.72 million physical copies. Probably about 3 million or more when including pc. Recent publisher financial data has shown that digital is at 25-low 30's for aaa console games. Gears 4 is play anywhere so has increased incentive to buy digital. 25% digital puts the game at almost 4 million. That's bad sales? Or is urs a joke post.
Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)
halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)
x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.
