Damn Microsoft needs to hire me as head of their marketing department or something. I just convinced 3 different people to get an Xbox One at Gamestop xD This on top of my 4 friends who got it simply to play Titanfall with me. Thats like 7 whole consoles! Its kinda like how I'm a celeb on Twitter (22 followers and counting!)


Haha I was thinking this too! I persuaded my uncle and one of my friends to get an Xb1. I also know 4 more who are gonna get it just cos I persuaded them 



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

Pretty much sums up how I feel about mcc at this point.

25 days later and they haven't even announced some sort of compensation, should have done something for the fans. But at this point most halo fans spit on 343. You would think they would add playlists to the game, add ranked playlists, compensate us. But like the poster said they won't do any of that till "they fix the issues". Which doesn't make sense because we are 25 days in and nowhere close to a fixed game. Phil spencer better step in.

edit

Been sitting here trying to get btb but it's broken now. Can't play btb, can't play halo 4, can't play doubles, and ranked is pointless(resets all the time, and 343 are going to reset everyone "soon"). *sigh* this sucks. 

On a more positive note, just watches episode 1-4 of nightfall. Not bad... Not good but still. At least I like Locke halfway, and he is a good actor. I was worried I wasn't gunna like one of the halo 5 main characters but I'm not anymore. He is solid thus far.



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.

Great numbers for X1, even though its tracking ahead of 360 in Europe, I want MS to go hard in that area. They really need to improve there or else PS4 is going to dominate

Forza Horizon 2 def has to be Racing game of the year


Only if ppl buy the game. Phil can keep pushing games but if they aren't going to sell then what is the use? I say use as in why go exclusive(SO) if the games won't sell? Why the F are they remaking Phantom Dust also? Of all the games they are sitting on? Was there a huge amount asking for it? I saw more for Conker. Then again why invest when the gamers won't buy? To many who wont even give a chance to KI, Dead Rising, Ryse, SO etc...

My rant is over lol

I feel like a lot of gamers these days bitch and complain about what they want but when they get it they dont actually buy it. They simply watch someone else play it on Twitch or Youtube. Then they'll wait for the games to be ported over to PC where they can pick up the game for less than a hooker with genital warts with humble bundles and never play any of the games. I feel like they just made a South Park episode about this too xD

Yeah man but its the publisher's fault for making their games so cheap on PC. If I buy a game at $40 on PC (what they cost at most in India) and they make it available at $10 a month later I'll stop buying their games at full price.

Exactly that and most seem stuck playing only the big games. Halo COD GTA etc... Judging from sales this has to be concerning to Spencer. Differ the consoles all you want but if the games aren't being purchased it's a waste of everyone's time.

I think XB1 will sell much more next year than it did this year but the gap in sales between 360 and XB1 will shrink due to Halo 3 being released in the second year of 360.
