its not this site but everywhere in the gaming community

Because there is no drought?
Samurai warriors 4-2 dragon guest heroes,disgaea 5,tearaway,until dawn,omega quintet,the order 1886. And quite a lot more RETAIL releases.

The question remains what has microsoft for next year?


Obviously none of these are confirmed for 2016 (except Quantum Break) but I'd say they're highly likely for 2016. Gears of War 4, Scalebound, Quantum Break and Crackdown. Another Forza game is likely since it seems to have become a yearly franchise at this point. Plus anything MS announces at this years E3 could come in 2016 too. All specualtion on my part but clearly they'll have at least a few games for next year.



Because when you are used to get this much, you raise your expectations, and at the opposite, we are used to droughts with xbox so a small improvement compared to previous xbox even with less games than the competitor will seem better



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

The Xbox One has no games so far and will continiue having no Major releases until at the very end of September when Halo 5 comes out. Thats 9 entire Months with no games

Yet if Sony delivers games like Bloodborne, Order, Until Dawn until august and comes in a situation where they have a drought for 3 months people are so disspointed about Sony and saying this and that. Even before E3 has started.

Yet where is the same critisim for MS having no games for 9 entire Months?

First point, 'Xbox One has no games'? Really? I have been playing the following since launch (exclusives followed by non-exclusives); Forza Motorsport 5, Halo MCC (which is 4 games in one), Titanfall, Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive, Ryse: Son of Rome, Killer Instinct, Horizon 2 Fast and Furious, Project Spark, Powerstar Golf, Max The Curse of Brotherhood, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfighter, Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, Rayman Legends, Child of Light, Worms Battlegrounds and PoolNationFX (The games I can think of, maybe more). - So, your first point is ridciulous.

Just because MS doesn't release 'no games for 9 months', doesn't mean there are 'no games to play for 9 months'. I am still well and truely wrapped up in Horizon 2, Titanfall and Sunetset Overdrive because they are big games with long reply value. If MS release 4 games during the holiday (for example), what difference does it make if they release them all at once or one every 3 months? You still have the same amount of content to play? For example, Horizon 2 was released last fall, but it is such a big and fun game that I am still playing it, the last thing I need is another game to play.

Your third point... games like The Order and Until Dawn don't have long replay value for a start, so soon after their release everyone has completed them and wants something new. Plus, they are all in a similar genre (horror). I do not personally like horror games, so from my personal perspective Sony have released nothing that I want to play for quite a whilte, the last games was Driveclub.

The same stuff keeping Xbox guys gaming during this "dry spell" is what will keep us PlayStation guys gaming this winter, the third party stuff. Only reason the upcoming Sony "drought" is getting attention is that Oct-Dec are the only months Xbox is remotely competitive; getting a hype exclusive is good, but for a console warrior getting one while the competitor gets none is great.

What drought?

Well if you read the OP...



I don't know, but regarding Nintendo it's even worse. If they don't put a big game out every month they are doomed and the system is garbage...



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

This is a fun thread, right?


no the Xbox One had no major releases so far


This is not the point of this thread. And I am surprised you failed to be on-topic within your own thread.
