I see Indiana Jones getting delayed to like February or March probably. Would be odd to see Holiday packed with Black Ops in October, Avowed and Flight Sim in November, and then Indiana Jones in December missing the crucial Black Friday week, plus 3rd party Xbox marketing deals on AC in November and possibly Dragon Age still releasing Holiday 2024 as well. |
The people that play COD, a massive amount of them, pretty much only play COD.
Same with Flight Sim. Completely different type of gamer.
Avowed and Indiana probably do have the same types of gamers as fans, but they should be at least a month apart and be okay.
Dragon Age would be smart to not compete with Avowed, personally. Release it in September/Early October.
A bigger reality these guys need to face is that Nintendo is coming. All the rumors/reports, their extended NS1 generation, and lack of much AAA 1st party brand new games (not remakes that are cheaper to make/outsource) over the last year and probably until NS2 points to the fact that they've learned from their NS1/Wii U/3ds mistakes and are planning a massive launch lineup in early 2025. So if Microsoft and Third Party's want to capitalize on Nintendo's absence to sell games in 2024, they should release their gamers sooner rather than later, because come Winter/Spring 2025, it's game on in competition for software sales.
