Has MS released NPD figures at all this year?

Hmm, cool for Xbox. Do you all think it will be the same result for next month?

Welp, anyway, back to P4G

Edit: Amazing avy Shika! And nice add on Murph ;)

I could possibly see Fallout 4, Bioware's rumored Star Wars game, Cyberpunk 2077, Beyond Good and Evil 2, or Bully 2 as XB1/PC only releases. Honestly MS can afford just about any 3rd party game they want exclusively, they could get something like Red Dead 3 exclusively if they really wanted to. 

Surely Disney would have to get on board for Star Wars, no chance. More likely to get Mass Effect or Dragon Age from Bioware, but I don't think it'll happen.

Not if it's a 3rd party game from Bioware. EA own the exclusive rights to all Star Wars games and they own Bioware, so now it's really up to them rather than Disney.

Interesting...fair enough, in that case MS would likely have a better shot with the new game than the established ME and DA franchises.

Isn't it a bit too risky with new IP exclusives though?

I love ea access.
I was never gunna buy dragon age 3. Not really into fantasy very much. Liked skyrim ok, put about 40 hours into it but just stopped playing. DA3 looked pretty good but like I said I've always been turned off my the setting. Anyway bioware are probably my favorites devs me1-3 and kotor are the only games I'd utter in the same sentence as halo. Never played dragon age though.
I've had the trial downloaded for a week or 2 but never tried it until now. Played for a few hours, now I'm hooked. Probably won't buy it yet though. Crossing my fingers that ms is gunna offer some games for free as compensation for halo.



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.

Wii U - 240k
Xbox One - 1.2m
PS4 - 750k

new NPD rumour.

CBOAT was bullshitting about the 7 - 10k gap.

Very solid win.

Does that mean the PS4 was overtracked by VGC relative to NPD?

It looks to me like VGC overtracked almost everything this month.

WiiU overtracked 140k
PS4 overtracked 250k - 250k
XB1 overtracked 200k - 230k

3DS?



 

Spade on 11 December 2014

I saw posts saying that 1.2 number is US and UK, is that true?

Not the expert on that stuff obviously

If it's actually a new IP, Bioware could be working on KOTOR 3. All EA said was that Bioware would be working on a new Star Wars game. If it's KOTOR it belongs on Xbox One imo since the previous 2 games were PC/Xbox exclusives. 


I haven't played KOTOR 1 or 2. I never did get the first Xbox. Do you think the 3rd one will top SF5?

Better numbers than what I was expecting, also there goes the myth of ps4 being always undertracked.

I was expecting 200k lead, so it's nice to see the real deal.
