Edit: True and well put. However, the lingering question is, if Xbox offers a variety of games why doesn't it excels in non-English speaking countries?

Besides marketing there has to be another explanation.


Xbox does pretty well in Europe overall (X360 sold 25m in Europe and XBO has already sold 1.4m), just not as well as PlayStation.  As for Japan, Xbox does suffer when it comes to japanese centric games.

People are just not realizing that PS4 is on record breaking pace.  So anything less looks bad when in reality XBO is off to a very good start, outpacing X360 and tracking similar to PS3's first year

Guys... If I ever like a game, but then start bringing it up in every thread, damage controlling it. Please tell me to shut the fuck up.

Thanks :)

OT: Xbox to me is looking like a nice variety of games and genres. Loving the emphasis on platformers, would love more JRPGs, but I understand that's not the primary focus.

Great win for the Ravens (loss for the Steelers as well) Good luck Noble (not really, hope you lose :P)
Happy Sunday all! :)

Thanks for the reply fellas.
It really does seem that Xbox is selling bad, which is not, when in reality PS4 is just being a sales juggernaut.
I'm a big 3D platformer guy. I used to have a Nintendo 64 and I played s**t ton of Mario 64, Bomberman 64 and also Banjo.
As for JRPGs, you gotta give respect to MS. They don't get supported by Japanese devs but instead of giving up they provide the genre to their customers by funding projects.

I play mostly FPSs, TPSs, Racing, Platformers, Adventures, Sports, etc... I deny that Xbox is a "dude bro" centric console but I'm not the most qualified person to refute it as well.

Xbox does good in UK, not in rest of Europe...Not even 360 which did ok but nothing special considering how it released 1.5 years earlier as PS3 here and how expensive PS3 was then. Without this huge advantage 360 would have been dead in rest of Europe.  But I said often enough how MS fails to do anything for Xbox outside USA and UK so yeah, I'm tired of it^^



The argument that a game needs to be 60+ hours to be worth the purchase doesn't make sense. Take for example the mass effect games. None of those are that long. You could run through them in about 15 hours, or do everything and there about 40. In my oppinion only halo matched that series. I'll take a 40 hour mass effect over a 80 hour skyrim anyday.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

i dont mind if a game is 5 hours or 60. As long as it is good and doesnt bore me. What i dont care for is side missions that is boring because in my experience, outside of the story and main missions of games, most games side missions are boring and i could care less.

Well I never said it had to have 60 hours worth of content for me to buy it at 60 bucks. Then again I've never bought Mass Effect games at 60 bucks except 3 but that had a 4 play coop that I played a lot making it worth the 60 price. (but this is just my opinion, if I only play a game 2 or 3 times and never pick it up again that isn't worth 60 in my book)
