does anyone really expect a console to have a super strong lineup for it's first full years holiday?

If we're talking in terms of sales, FH2 and Halo have been successes, SO unfortunately not so much. You've got to remember FH2 was released on 360 and PC(I think? Correct me if wrong) which would obviously hurt X1 sales. In terms of quality, Xbox's lineup definitely did obliterate PS4's.

And next holiday will be even better. Halo, Quantum Break, Tomb Raider and maybe another Forza. Some unannounced games too!


FH2 was never released on PC, no Forza game has ever been on PC and it never will.

Sales matter who it comes to if a game better than another now? BTW sunset overdrive 750k retail. It's probably at a million including digital. After ms gave the free day the next day they had it on discount digitally. So considering it had digital sales before that, and a boost because of the sale and free day it's easily at a mil. Forza horizon 2 has reach a mil also



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion

I remember throughout the year of 2014 a lot of loud people were convinced the Xbox One lineup was going to obliterate the PS4 lineup during the holiday period. To be honest I haven't seen anything significant that wasn't on other systems compared with the PS4 as both consoles were mainly selling multiplatform games. 

PS4 had DriveClub and LBP3 that are selling really well and are currently (after patches) also highly acclaimed but The Last of Us that released in the summer has also received great legs during this period.

While on the Xbox One I can only think of Halo because both FH2 and Sunset Overdrive aren't really that popular. And if I would compare the current state of these games than I would choose all Playstation exclusives above the mentioned Xbox exclusives. 

This is just my opinion because after all the big talk from a lot of people I expected more but I turned out nothing that special. And even next holiday doesn't look good, nor these upcoming months. 

That's wrong. Both Forza Horizon 2 and Sunset Overdrive have higher metacritic scores than Driveclub and LBP 3, therefore they are more highly acclaimed than them. If we are talking sales then FH2 and SO are very close to LBP 3s sales, so if they aren't popular then neither is LBP 3.

I'm talking more on general consensus of people. People talk a lot about DriveClub and every week something new about the game, the technology or support is popping up. But I don't here anything from Xbox exclusives

Halo Mcc and drive club are talked about for the same reason. They were unfinished gamess at launch. Even more so, drive club. It had missing features that people wanted. Of course people will talk about it when those features come out of

PS. News comes out all the time for SO and FH2.....Do you even know what youre talking about?

I just wish people would share these in the forums instead of keeping it in the console threads as a footnote. I mean for god's sake we have a thread for every little PS4 retail bundle, why not some news about games?

How would the other side of the aisle know anything about the other if they're always keeping it to themselves?

XB1's lineup was nothing spectacular. Halo MCC sales disappointed and everything else failed to reach 1m in 2014. Both DriveClub and LBP3 PS4 will be at 1m+ in 2014 and TLoU almost 3m.

This will continue in 2015 with PS4 exclusive after exclusive reaching 1m+ while I don't believe XB1 is getting a high profile exclusive until Halo 5.

Halo MCC, Sunset Overdrive, Forza Horizon 2, and Killer Instinct Season 2.

I do believe people were talking about quality by the way. Even yet, all the games mentioned above will be selling 1-2m lifetime at the very least.

And PS4 had Driveclub and LittleBigPlanet3 which were not received well though will sell more being on a more popular console worldwide.

im not sure where youre going with this thread other than trying to start something but at least take a step back and look at things

LittleBigPlanet 3 got roughly the same metacritic score as Sunset Overdrive. I'm not sure why you would say it hasn't been received well. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Why should Xbox fans make threads for the people who just greet them with passive aggressive attitude and sly digs every time they do?

There's a reason xbox news stays mostly in that thread

I thought they had balls and don't care what other people think about them.

I mean look at all the Sony and Nintendo fans celebrating every little detail about their platforms.

This would be a very sad forum if all fanbases would just stick to themselves.
