Last gen Forzas were mass bundled. FM5 didnt get a bundle. FM6 got a LE bundle that sold out. FH3 just got a bundle this year buts its one of the more expensive xb1 bundles. But yeah MS has had lots of flops this gen but not all of there games flop. Halo 5 is lower than most Halo games but it can still outsell Halo 1 which is decent. Halo MCC is the best selling Halo remaster. Gears UE and Gears 4 sold quite well. So did Ori and Horizon. Rare Replay, Ryse, Minecraft, and Dead Rising 3 also sold quite well. |
Well I never said all their games flopped. My OG comment was not completely serious. I guess I am justquicker to call a dissapointment a disappointment. Also, all the Forza games when originally released have been pretty mass bundled. Both online and in stores. Literally almost every store ive been to had a bundle. Maybe they sold out , but especially for the older 360 Forzas I dont think it eould fill that gap at all.
I feel like Horizon 3 is really the only impressive exclusive sales wise. I dont know I just think DR3 isnt that impressive, its good though. Just every big xbox game has been mediocre or a flop. Also Minecraft is in no way an exclusive. Its literally on almost every relevant system. Ori and Rare replay are games that need much smaller sales to sell well.
Ryse did not sell well for its budget

I never implied all there games were flops but I do think that halo 5 and gow 4 sold pretty meh. Their remasters sold well cause there was nothing to play.
" Halo MCC is the best selling Halo remaster. "
I think this shows the current climate at Xbox pretty well . I mean no offense but this is a huge stretch. There was only one remaster before MCC and it was super over priced by comparison(1 re 40$ vs 2 re, 1 new game, and one old for 60$)
If I were to guess, an Xbox sales synopsis would look lime this :
Impressive : Horizon 3, Ori(being generous)
Good : Dead Rising 3, Forza x y and z, Nintendo game collection(oh sorry i mean Rare replay),
Mediocre : Halo and Gears and Ryse
Flops : Quantum Break and Halo Wars 2 and Dead Rising 4 and Recore
Im probably forgetting some but I feel thats fairly accurate. I just think Ori and Rare dont reflect Xbox at all, theyd sell well on any console and Rare Replay would probably be a million seller on Switch. But obviously my OG comment was hyperbolic, I just dont think Xbox exclusive sales are even an argument. It's hard to know without official sales figures but still.
also we should be careful, i have a feeling a mod is going to come in and say we're off topic : P
