Now how well do you think Age of Empires might do compared to that? It'd be strange, to say the least, if it sold more, or even close to that amount. Thus, no wonder if it's not coming to Xbox One. It might be pretty easy to recoup the development costs, but why bother if it's just not worth the effort? If the sales are that bad, it's obvious the market just isn't there and the game doesn't even increase the console's appeal much. I bet its effect on Xbox One's appeal is comparable to an individual indie game, which is probably not a whole lot. Obviously it'd be good for the Xbox audience if AoE4 got an Xbox version, but in the big picture, I doubt it's important. Also, if it does well on PC, who's saying an Xbox port is out of the question anyway? |
Why making Xbox consoles at this point then, the market isnt there by your logic?
There is no excuse to not make an Xbox One port, the console is a PC. Look at Trpico 5 the PS4 version sold 25% of t´what the PC version sold for the Physcal release only. What you except doesnt matter, the fact that Sudden strike was ported to PS4 is pretty much proof that it is profitable. There is tons of RTS games coming for consoles like Iron harvest
