It seems only XB1 exclusive for the Holidays is Tomb Raider, which is timed itself.

This is probably the worst Holiday for console in history.

Should MS push these games back to make for a better Holiday lineup?

How will they have it in the bag? with Sony having marketing deals and ealy DLC for all the big holiday releases like CoD, battlefront, Assassin's Creed. Just Tomb raider won't be enough to keep the XB1 high on the buyer's list. All Sony would need to do to totally dominate is have just one real exclusive as XB1 will have only a timed one.

I'm sorry?

Halo, Forza, Tomb Raider and Fable.

They have four franchises ranging from massive to big launching exclusively in the lead up too and through the holiday season.

Thats before you look at smaller exclusives and the myriad multiplatforms.

I feel like this is a joke thread...

But sony doesnt even have a timed exclusive so tech ms still wins since sony has none

Halo and Forza aren't releasing during the Holiday period which is November-December.

Forgot about Fable but it's just a f2p title it'll go unnoticed like Project Spark did last year. So yeah as far as Holiday 2015 goes we have just one timed exclusive.

Its naive to think that Halo, and to a lessor extent Forza, will not have an impact on the holidays. Halo has always released in September, and it has always had a positive impact on sales for months.

Fable's previews have been almost universally positive. Upwards of 5 million people bought Fable 3. I agree that there is a degree of uncertainty given its changed nature, but being dismissive of it is unrealistic IMO.

Tomb Raider certainly is timed. But with no confirmation it will ever come to the Xbox One's rival consoles (and you have specified that this thread is about consoles), I'd say it will still have an impact.

As mZuzek said - even if you don't like the Xbox One's line up is still better than its two competitors this holiday...so at worst it could be the third "worst Holiday for console in history"

What do they win? Do they get a gold star from the National Association of Console Exclusives Launched in the Holidays. The NACELH for short, if you will. 

I'm so confused, what is the point of this thread?

This is not what I was expecting when I clicked on this thread.

Thread quality has dropped the past month, or so. I kinda saw this coming. :/
