My personal best MS exclusive for 2014 is Forza Horizon 2. I don't know if Sunset can surpass that for me. It's either going to be Forza, or Sunset :)

Yeah, it seems like Microsoft really needs to step up their game in Germany. It's pretty sad that Sunset Overdrive is ranked lower there than it is in Japan, Xbox One has sold 199k in German compared to 33k in Japan. Sunset Overdrive is also ranked higher in Spain than it is in Germany, and PS4 has outsold Xbox One 6:1 in Spain I think. Are they not advertising Sunset Overdrive at all in Germany? Microsoft really needs to hire a new marketing guy for Germany I think.

well, I said that already several times in this thread, last Xbox TV ad I saw here except few for Fifa was maybe in February (I also didn't see ads for Titanfall).  I don't watch much TV but sometimes I do and I always see ads for PS4 games (Diablo, The Last of US, Watch Dogs, DriveClub, Destiny and so on..) and never see ads for Xbox games, not even for Forza Horizon 2...

Hey MS, what about any kind of useful advertisement for Xbox and your games in Germany so that you would sell at least a few games and consoles here? I mean, game at 83 short before release is pretty horrible but to expect when they don't do anything useful here...

That wouldn't be so sad if it wouldn't mean  that I will have it very hard to find real life friends to play co-op and multiplayer games with on XBO.

Necessary. $350 should be the standard price since they released the Kinect free XBO. Same official price as a PS4 is simply too much...

So, anybody else remember back when IGN said there were going to be some surprise announcements during the Halo: MCC IGN First coverage? I haven't seen any surprises yet, did I miss one somehow? This is final week of IGN First's Halo: MCC coverage, I hope they announce something cool, such as more Halo 2 maps being remade as DLC.


im guessing well get halo 5 news since it is apart of the mcc
