73k was the 360's lowest point for February, 61k the first week of March was the lowest point the 360 reached it's first year. 

Thanks

So they'll be tracking pretty similar for the start of the year it seems.

Agreed, though I suspect Titanfall will push the Xbox One ahead of the 360 for March. And if the leak is true and the Xbox One is launching in more countries during April, the Xbox One should be ahead of the 360 during April as well. After that they'll likely settle around the same Summer baseline, which was 70k for the 360.

True, I forgot about the possible launching in other countries this spring. If that does happen, the X1 will probably get a nice little boost from that too.

I agree that Microsoft needs to found a new 1st party RTS studio to develop for PC and Xbox One. Halo Wars has sold 2.4m physical on 360 (more when digital is included), while Age of Empires 3 sold over 2 million within the first 2 years (and is likely over 4 million now, 8 years later, due to it's Steam release). New games in both series releasing on both PC and Xbox One would very likely sell at least 3 million copies between the two platforms in the first year and over 5 million combined lifetime. Why would you pass up sales like that Microsoft?


I think MS should create a new Age of Empires...but really try and push the genre forward. Make a big splash at E3 get the hype going! Have a strong focus on PC and multiplayer and i think its a recipe for success.

One of my all time favourite franchises

Age of Empires 2 HD remake seems to have done well on Steam so people are still interested.

Edit: They should also make it free to play!!!

Lol damn I got really excited when I saw "New Halo Art prints" Thinking it was new Halo concept art for next game but nah it was just this....Brutes look kinda similar to Forunners (Or just Didact) Looking at them up close but Brutes don't seem to have dentist comparing them to the Didacts teeth Lolll......Anyway can't wait to see what they do with this new Chieftan and how/if they put him into Halo 5 (I'm thinking most likely they will) It will be really weird partnering with a Brute and fighting side by side with one....It will be awesome =P

New Halo art prints will be dropping this Friday! This may or may not be one of them...

12:00 AM - 6 Feb 2014


Dammit I was just gonna post this. Does this mean Halo 5 art for Friday or just random Halo art?

Puggsly was saying elsewhere that Fable Anniversary was running like crap. I would have bought it today if they'd had a copy at EB. Any confirmation?

Looking forward to controlling my own HDD on 'The One' as well. There is no use having games I've already sold sitting there taking up space and I have no idea how big they are or how much room is left. I'd also like my box to call me Recon rather than my 'real' name and in Camilla Luddington's voice, or Jen Taylor's. Or Liz Hale doing Bastilla Shan. Please. I'll pay extra.


You can erase games from your HD already.

Lol did anyone see that game informer peice where they cleared up the "play time" of ground zero. Lol they said the beat the game 2 times in 4 hours. Plus they did some other stuff. Lol no way is that worth 40 bucks



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.

I'm hoping that the x1's price drops before titanfall comes out. Cause that's when I'm buying it.

It won't. You're better off just hoping for an online deal with a Titanfall bundle.... Assuming you're in the US.

I just saw that Amazon bought Double Helix Games, Microsoft you silly fools, why didn't you outbid them? With yourdeep pockets it would have been pretty easy. That new sci-fi IP they're working on would likely have made a great exclusive and you could have put them in charge of Killer Instinct sequels going forward. I really hope that Amazon isn't going to go and make that sci-fi IP they're working on exclusive to the new Android powered gaming console they're rumored to be developing, that would suck so much.

I would have never guessed out of all the publishers out there, Amazon would buy Double Helix. Kinda pisses me off actually. I really hope this doesn't ruin plans for KI season 2.

I'm pretty sure they're obligated to finish up their contract with MS. So KI should be fine.

That or else Amazon paid Microsoft to get out of the contract. Either way KI season 2 should be fine. DF is making it or else Amazon is paying a different studio (with Microsoft's approval) to make it.
