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. 

Dead Rising 3 is the best selling dead rising game on an xbox platform. Its also the second best selling dead rising and it sonly on XBO while the others were on PS3 and PC.

 

Ryse did not sell well for its budget

Ok i didnt know it didnt do so well. I thought it sold well.

 

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 came out holiday 2014. There were lots of things to play. Gears UE came out in the summer os ill give you that. But Gears 4 did pretty well. Its at 3mil according to vgc and with a 25% digital it will be around 4 million units. With that in mind its tracking ahead of Gears 1 and Gears judgment. Also Gears sells 6-7m units so Gears 4 can still sell 2 million more units in the following years.

 

" 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

Good : Dead Rising 3,  Forza x y and z, Nintendo game collection(oh sorry i mean Rare replay), 

Id say its impressive that DR3 is the best selling dead rising on xbox.

Mediocre : Halo and Gears and Ryse

Halo 5 sold 5m in 3 months. In around the same timeframe Halo 3 sold 6.8m, ODST sold 4.4m, Reach sold 6.6m, and 4 sold over 7 million. Halo 5 is down from 3 reach and 4 but higher than odst. Its not great by any means but really not mediocre. The sales are pretty good and it generated $400m ffirst week. I already talked about Gears earlier in the post.

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. 

Why wont Ori and Rare Replay reflect xbox? I think they will sell good on other platforms because they are good games .
