im confused as to how Shenmue was an original xbox exclusive when it was on the dreamcast and PS2, hows about they bring back midtown madness!


Not sure where you're getting from, but it's simply false. The first game was a Dreamcast only game, and the sequel was published jointly by Sega and MS and was released on Dreamcast and Xbox. 

Neither Shenmue game was ever on PS2


oops i stand corrected shenmue wasnt on the PS2

MS sucks at marketing in many European countries. I often think they put all their marketing money to USA and UK and Sony is spreading it more WW and beats MS hard in mainland Europe. 


SO true, I don't see Xbox ads here in Belgium but Playstation gets coverage almost every month

Like I once said, I don't really understand their logic behind some stuff. They pay as example for some exclusive FIFA content but don't advertise it then so that nobody even knows about it.  When Sony pays for exclusive content (Diablo III, Watch_Dogs, Asscreed and so on) they have always a big campaign on TV to mention this as often as possible and to let people even think that the whole game is exclusive.

Not to forget stuff like Champions League advertisement from Sony which is a pretty big deal in my opinion.

Are you guys serious, XB1 isn't even out in Belgium yet. Sure sounds smart spend those advertising dollars on a country without the console.

Well, he probably meant the difference between PS3 and 360 advertisement where Sony beat Microsoft easily in Europe (maybe not UK). And I even mentioned games like Diablo 3 so that I was also talking about the general Playstation vs. Xbox advertisement. 

My experience is that Sony has game ads around the whole year + consistent advertisemnt for as example the Champions League and Microsoft pushes Xbox only before christmas.

Jip, they don't market their exclusives, they don't market their console. In the whole lifetime of the 360 I have seen 5 ads about it on tv. In the meanwhile Playstation gets an ad every month. Than Microsoft wonders why they get their ass kicked here

Everything is selling quite well. I guess May is a great month to release games in. I would even say that it was better for Watchdogs to be released in May than November since the winter is too competitive with so many games.

I have been waiting all day for news from the joint AMD/MSFT DX12 conference, but haven't been able to find much. I really wanted to see/read about that Inside Xbox One segment.

Yeah the delay has probably helped. Not just Watch Dogs but for hardware sales as well.

Yeah that's true, except it will be a rough month for X1 cause people will wait for the $399 X1.
