Forums - Microsoft - XBO console exclusive retail lineup in 2015

TheSting on 08 December 2014


It's selling now. Right now. This is nothing and i mean absolutely nothing but your opinion. That's why you don't know what you are talking about. You can't see into the future or know why millions of people buy the system of choice in the future yet here you are trying your hardest. Keep trying. 

Me and im sure a bunch of other ppl the WiiU will compliment my Xbox well enough. No matter what you keep trying to convince others.

I've said it time and time again I'm not talking about existing XB1 owner, they're not likely to buy multiple XB1's, unless they're buying one for another room in their home or they have another home. Actually read right down to the end of this and comprehend what I'm writing before making another knee jerk response.

 

As for the system's sales, it's selling now because of the price factor or the crazy holiday deals, coupled with some new releases (be they mulitplats or the odd remaster or an exclusive), those deals most likely fall away in the regular sales times of the year.

The price cut was meant to be temporary, so once that goes or the crazy deals disappear that incentive isn't there, if it stays then it'll affect the baseline in a positive way, but you need new exclusives to keep the sales constantly in a better position and those aren't coming for months next year. With the lack of a library building up the XB1's roster of content people can't get elsewhere until far into the year it's not reaching in the slightest to think that people who don't yet have an 8th gen console will be looking at all factors, they'll look at the wider picture and what systems have the games they want, it's completely logical to think that there being new exclusives coming all the time to Wii U and PS4 will mean those system will gain more interest and in PS4's case they don't have to miss out on the mulitplats.

This is speaking from the perspective of someone that hasn't yet bought a current generation console.

 

As for existing XB1 owners, if you're getting all of your multiplats on that system then obviously it's just going to depending on which exclusive library of games suits your tastes as to which other 8th gen console you're going to get, if you want another system.

I haven't once said that XB1 isn't worth buying, just that it doesn't have enough games for me to buy one next year, being that I play the multiplats on PS4, so I'm looking at exclusives and which line-up interests me, which line-up has the most for me to sink my teeth into.

You're doing it again. How can you speak for people? Like  everyone's tastes and opinions are the same as yours. You can't and you are assuming guessing hoping(maybe not) they won't. It's just your opinion and you're trying to use it to generalise. It's why I'm saying you have no idea what you are talking about.

You are putting so much weight on exclusives it's crazy.

Huh? He's just making a sales prediction or did I not read it right? What's wrong with that. Generalizing is what we do to make predictions, we can't go round asking everyone in the world which games they prefer, if they care about exclusives etc. I agree with his prediction. Come February Xbox One sales will plummit until fall 2015, the PS4 will go back to winning NPD every month.

 

I'm not sure that this is the thread to talk about this though.

He's trying to tell us why it's selling now and why it's not going to sell in the future. He doesn't know but he's trying to specifically say why without a doubt it won't sell. Im saying he doesn't know. A lot is looking at the next year but not on the games that ppl who will buy the system don't have now. A year and some change worth of games that most haven't even played. There is variety already on the Xbox One. He's putting imo to much weight on exclusives when there are other factors that absolutely should be noted. You agree with his prediction. Ok that's fair i don't and that's fair also.

I'll back away from what has become a petty argument of opinions. I hope all three systems do well. I game on Xbox and plan on getting WiiU but PS is cool and will continue to be a great system also.

I find it hard to believe that this is all Xbox has to offer in all of 2015. Which means, we're getting some announcements within the next 2 months or maybe even some sort of show like PSX to reveal new things.

I'd like to add that shinobi did say we're getting a Gears of War game in 2015, probably a remake of some sorts but if his sources are right then thats one more to add to the list. Then there is the heavily rumored Banjo Kazooie game which we're supposed to find out about at E3 and of course we know Rare is making multiple games so there's that.

Of course rumors are nothing to get hyped up about, we've been disappointed in the past but if we were to add Gears and Banjo to the 2015 line-up it certainly feels more impressive and adds a little more variety to the console.

Don't think it is particularly impressive at this stage.

Very little interest in Screamride, maybe it would be a good title to buy cheap down the road, but not all full price. Also haven't heard anything about it in a while and I'm not sure what the scope of the game is.

I loved the first Fable on the original Xbox, but the series went downhill last generation, and last time I saw the game at E3 it looked a bit dull. No interest

Crackdown 3 isn't happening next year.

Rise of the Tomb Raider should be a good game, but it will probably come to PS4 six months later. That won't matter to the general consumer, but not many core gamers will care with Uncharted 4 releasing at the same time.

Quantum Break looks like it could be a hit, and I think it is comfortably X1's most interesting game arriving next year.

Halo 5 will be good, but 343i aren't Bungie, and I wonder if they could ever match the best Halo games.

Forza 6 and a Gears Trilogy Remastered would make it a good year, but right now I think MS have comfortably the weakest exclusive lineup of the big three next year.



HollyGamer on 08 December 2014

There will be more games announces in E3 i think, looking back how they announced the games, they always announce the games 6 month before it was release.

Halo 5 is the only IP that famous for Xbox brand beside Forza series and Gear of Wars. The rest is just decent so i guess Gears of war will never be release at the same year with Halo 5.

Right now I'm excited for Halo 5 and Crackdown 3. Though I'm probably not going to buy Halo 5 day one in case it ends up like MCC. Is this a good enough lineup to convince you to buy an XBO?

You should remove Rise of the Tomb Raider, it's coming to 360 and has already been confirmed by Phil Spencer that the deal has a duration.

Crackdown 3 isn't confirmed as a 2015 release, not by Microsoft or the developers anyway.

 

Scream Ride will also be coming to 360:

Nothing in that line-up is enough to make me want an XB1, I already have a PS4, it has the better 2015 line-up as far as I'm concerned and as my next 8th gen console the Wii U has way more games in 2015 that make me want it over an Xbox One, like Starfox, Zelda, Xenoblade, Splatoon, especially combining that with the games already on the system.

 

Money is also a real concern next year, as well as size of the library, Wii U is a much cheaper system and it has many more games that I'd like.

PS4 has something like 20 true exclusives that I'd like next year, plus all of the multiplats I'll be playing on PS4 because they run best there and all of my friends are on PS4 too.


I feel the same way.There is not enough on the Xbox and only QB interests me.The WiiU certainly looks more attractive as a secondary console for Zelda,SF and Xenoblade,as well as being cheaper.

Phil already said there will be announcments so we just have to wait.
