Looks like I will be waiting til 2016 to get my XB1 then.



This source don't give much confidence. Was really expecting this game for this year anyway.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

The tweet that confirmed the delay was from Dutch Community & Social Media Coordinator Dae Jim. Phil Spencer also did say that the XB1 will have so many exclusives coming out (for the holidays), that some need to be moved to 2016.

It was my most expected XBO game...

was this ever confirmed for 2015 or is this a "delay"?

Borrowing your source.



Finally an X1 exclusive in the first quarter.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

My two cents on the potential delay: it will benefit Quantum Break more than if the game is released in the midst of Halo 5, Forza 6, ROTR, COD, Assassin's Creed, and a few other AAA 3rd parties.



GG MSFT spreading their exclusives throughout the year.

2016 XB1 lineup might go down in history if the games live up to potential.
