Xbox Empire - Microsoft Acquires Bethesda | Game Pass Reaches 15m Active Subscribers

in Microsoft Discussion 3 days ago

Regarding the poll, Morrowind is what I picked. The more likely to happen would actually be both Fallout games since next will likely not see a mainline Fallout game, so they'll pull a Skyrim and push the older Fallout games while Elder Scrolls gets the mainline game. Lost Odyssey needs a sequel, and Banjo 3 would be preferable since the N64 games have been re released 2 times now (360 Arcade...

Thanks all. VGC needs to get rid of the full page ads that will even drop the whole page down. That's annoying. jason1637 said: Welfare said: Forza in Early 2022 would be fine since Forza 7 and Horizon 4 are already on Game Pass.

Forza in Early 2022 would be fine since Forza 7 and Horizon 4 are already on Game Pass. Those will be two racing games to play for those buying a Series X|S. My thinking is Forza 8 in either late 2021 or early 2022 and then Horizon 5 in 2023. I think that comes out after Fable, which I'm putting down for late 2022. ...

August NPD 2020: Switch 504k, PS4 197k, XBO 45k

BlackBeauty said: Welfare said: Yes they were. Explain why sales for PS4/XB1 went up in April, breaking April records for both? And to your previous post, percentage increases are translatable between multiple products in the same industry. It's how you can directly compare how well or bad certain items do on how they perform against the normal seasonal changes and if big...

BlackBeauty said: Replicant said: Bold: He's not saying that. He's saying that the pandemic boosted all consoles by a similar percentage. No one's trying to take anything away from Switch's success or "record breaking run". ?? it’s much easier to get big percentage boost from a lower baseline versus a higher one. What’s not to get here? ”Similar...

Aside from the fact that Switch sales may not look as impressive to some if they aren't combined, I don't see why this seems so crazy. If you wanted to say they play the same games, well some...

CosmicSex said: Why do folks thing that the Xbox One will outsell the PS4. This is irrational. There is nothing in reality that supports this. PS4 got outsold by 300K in December 2017 even though it had a $50 price cut. December 2018 has no price cut while Xbox One had price cuts all month long.That's rational and reality supports XB1 > PS4 this month.Online retailers do not...
