After playing Killer Instinct for a good amount of hours I love the D-Pad this go around. I think that's what MS wanted to show off, having a game at launch that really depends on it.

I never really had an issue with the 360's D-pad, but then I never played any games that used it extensively. I noticed when trying Killer Instinct that the Xbox One's D-pad has some issues with diagonal presses not registering unless you hit it just right, the 360 D-pad seemed better in that regard.

This is true. I never played a game that rally used it much. For the 360. It was like that one yellow thing on the GC controller.

What are your thoughts on the Nintendo d pad? Have you felt them?

I want to ask a question. How are you all enjoying the D-Pad specifically?


Really like the D-Pad myself.  Huge improvement over X360's.  OVerall really like the XBO controller.  It didnt change much from X360 which is a good thing.  Still my favorite controllers, X360, XBO, and GC.

Saw this today and thought id take a picture for you all.  Shocked i havent seen this discussed yet

Halo 4 Game of the Year Edition "Best Selling Halo Ever"



Is it undertracked?
Does it have a lot of digital downloads?
Could it be both?
Or is it just talking about its first year on the market.  but then it would say fastest right?

It sold 5 milllion in 4 weeks, I'd say "Best Selling" too.

Well it is certainly the fastest selling and that has been kind of documented over the last year other than the usual threads and people talking about halo being on the decline.  However XBO is certainly going to shorten its legs.  Im very curious to know what the digital dloads are for H4. Anyways here is the list for lifetime sales according to VGC.  However in this it says best selling halo ever.

1 Halo 3 X360 2007 Shooter Microsoft Game Studios 7.79 2.76 0.13 1.18 11.87
2 Halo: Reach X360 2010 Shooter Microsoft Game Studios 6.82 1.87 0.08 0.75 9.51
3 Halo 4 X360 2012 Shooter Microsoft Game Studios 6.18 2.03 0.04 0.68 8.93
4 Halo 2 XB 2004 Shooter Microsoft Game Studios 6.82 1.53 0.05 0.08 8.49
5 Halo: Combat Evolved XB 2001 Shooter Microsoft Game Studios 4.98 1.30 0.08 0.07 6.43
6 Halo 3: ODST X360 2009 Shooter Microsoft Game Studios 4.25 1.31 0.06 0.60 6.21
7 Halo Wars X360 2009 Strategy Microsoft Game Studios 1.38 0.77 0.04 0.22 2.41
8 Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary X360 2011 Shooter Microsoft Game Studios 1.32 0.64 0.04 0.20 2.21

Maybe they mean for the amount of time that its been out, it definitely is tracking higher than Halo 3

Yes it is best selling halo compared to previous ones in same period. Xbox news even posted this on their website that halo 4 has outsold every previous halo in same period and is best selling Microsoft game studios game in us.
I even think halo 4 will be around 10m when added digital sales because digital is way very big then it was few years back halo 4 has also been on sale many times and even cheap. So that's my take on the news.
