I better start coding then, huh?

 

sorry daredevil, not this time

read the thread, he has a histroy of denying stuff that gets announced later.  he just a good employee does not spoil game announcments for fanboy forum fame.

Exactly...you won't hear anything until it's OFFICIALLY announced.  Also...why would Gamestop be showing off a "Halo Edition" mouse if they weren't planning on a PC release?  It's coming guys...even if the devs say "no port is planned", how much work is really needed to take it from the XB1 to PC?  They are both x86 platforms with ATI GPUs, it would take a trivial amount of effort to port it.

I still think they'd have to be completely mad to put it on PC. "Hey guys, let's take our biggest system seller and put it on the most openly available platform so people don't need to buy an X1!"


It isn't going to sell systems.

Now see that is just false. Internet buzz alone tells you it is bound to sell some.

We can argue just how much it will sell, but it will sell systems regardless.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Some yes...enough to overcome the PS4's momentum (or even overtake it for a single month)?  Nope, not going to happen.  I also get the feeling that most diehard Halo fans ALREADY OWN an XB1.  Sure, they will sell a few million copies...but I doubt very highly that they will affect sales more than 20,000 or 30,000 per week.

20-30k a week for the XB1 is still around 40-60% of their current sales, so I don't see how that could be a bad thing.  With ya on the PS4 momentum though.  This game alone won't be enough to stop that train.

Yes, but this is the biggest XB1 game of the year....so I give them some benefit of the doubt here...and it's during the holiday season...so sales will be significantly higher for both platforms.  I still think Sony has a better selection of games this year though...Sunset Overhype is going to do absolutely nothing for the console, same with Spark...Halo is about all they have of any significance.

Welp, if true then that's bad for the exclusive list comparers, aside from that good news for PC gamers.
