Just me but i personally dont care what goes to PC. I dont feel consoles/PC really compete all that much. People just like to use it as an excuse to downplay something a lot of the time

Well people who don't own an X1 but are interested in the exclusives, wouldnt probably need to have to ever buy an X1. Basically if most Xbox exclusives eventually go to PC then it defeats the purpose of owning the console.

But I agree that many people just use it to downplay Xbox. 

I don't think there is that many people that buy a console solely for the exclusives though. I expect the vast majority buy consoles because they just prefer console gaming, so it really doesn't matter to them whether it's on PC, just which console they need to get to play it.

Thats true too. But the main deciding factor in choosing a console for most gamers is the exclusives. Halo and a couple other exclusives alone won't justify the purchase of an X1 over the PS4.

nahhh....most buy a console for Fifa, CoD, Asscreed and so on and even if some buy a console also for games like Uncharted or Halo, most would still buy the console even if the games are on PC. If that wouldn't be the case then those games which are on PC and console wouldn't sell so good on console. Almost everyone buys CoD or Asscreed on console even if everyone on the internet is like "I play all games which aren't excluisve on PC"

I mean, why don't they simply buy all these games on PC if they try to tell us everytime that they have a PC to play games also available on PC? When I check account of other players I always see that most of their games are also on PC and almost every game at least also on another console.

Games on pc sell pretty well. It's just that 90 percent of sales are digital so its impossible to track almost

I didn't say something else, I have over 200 games on Steam alone and many on the PC in general so that I am one of these guys but that doesn't change that it's pretty funny when you see people claiming that they have a PC to play all these games and when you check their console account you wonder why they play pretty much every game available on PC on their console and to see that only maybe 5% are exclusives.

I mean, they buy all these games on console so that they seem to prefer that (or those who say it all the time don't even have a PC to play demanding games)

There are obviously some for whom it's true (and it will reduce Xbox sales maybe by a million or two over a gen) but the majority of console gamers wants to play games on console and if these games are also on PC doesn't change anything for them.

PewDiePie's Sunset Overdrive video is up to 1.8m views already. At this rate there's a strong chance that it will surpass the live-action trailer to become the most viewed Sunset Overdrive video on Youtube. And the So videos from Let's Play and TheRadBrad are already at about 450k views each. Very smart move by MS.


That's good in all but where are all the commercials. I live in California, and I watch espn, and a little Comedy Central among other popular stations. This month I've seen 1 sunset commercial, 2 forza commercials, and other than the cod commercials(no mention of bundle)that don't even seem like there from ms all I've seen are 3 ms cloud commercials that have titanfall in it. Meanwhile I've seen about 50 destiny ones that ps4 is plastered EVERYWHERE and it looks like a exclusive.

Say what u want about x1 marketing getting better(ya it's picked up from the summer, but it always does durring the holidays) but it's nowhere near ps4 levels. I see probably 3 ps4 commercials for every 1 for x1. What the heck is going on, did there marketing budget get cut or what? You guys remember the shock n awe thing ms had a few years back. I firmly believe that if x1 had better marketing in the US than the ps4 that it would be ahead of it.

 

I really hope that halo mcc is advertised like halo 3 was. That assassins creed bundle needs to be on the screen like destiny is(assuming it's not a limited production bundle). And ya I'm seeing a lot of cod lately but they don't even mention the platforms.
