Is there any way to get the piece for Kinect for free for the Xbox One X?

Ah nice, I didn't even know that the Kinect was still even usable on the X, that's a bit re-assuring at least.

P.S. For 2018 Xbox really need to step up their game. 2017 was very bad year for them. Only one significant release and it is Cuphead - second party game. Yes, they've released some nice piece of hardware this year but it need to be supplement with some quality software. I specifically bolded the word quality because that is something that Microsoft lacks in the recent years. None of their games create hype in gaming community which doesn't look good. For some reason all their new IPs after 2015 or games that aren't Halo/Gears/Forza flopped. Probably they need to step up in PR department I don't know. Because at least Quantum Break deserved to sell way more than it did. I think many will agree with this. So, E3 2018 will definitely be do or die for Microsoft because if they will repeat it in the same they did for the last years they will be in a deep trouble.

We need Sega as well Yakuza series and future Atlus games.

For sure. Sega future is starting to look bright as well now with Valkyria on Xbox. I have a feeling Persona 5 Golden or whatever they call that edition will be on Xbox. Not sure about Yakuza though. 

1. All Persona games re-releases except for Persona 3 FES and Windows port of the first game were handheld ports. So if Persona 5 will get some re-release it will probably be Switch and/or Vita port.

2. All mainline Persona games never left Playstation consoles. Probably Sony pays Atlus for some exclusivity. We would have had a chance to know exactly if it is true or not if Microsoft hasn't abandoned Japanese support in the second half of 360 lifespan. Because the game Catherine which was developed by the team behind Persona series was on 360. Also I can't find any proof so correct me if it is not true but this game was developed for the purpose to learn to work with new techs to develop for HD consoles before starting to work on Persona 5. So, back then they probably considered 360 as a target platform for Persona 5 release.

Thing is, the Persona 5 case is missing "PS4 Exclusive" in several regions. If Sony had paid for full exclusivity I'm sure that it would be on the case, it's on Sega's Yakuza cases for instance. There is also the fact that the Persona 5 costume in Sonic Forces was allowed on Xbox and Switch but blocked by Sega on PC, suggesting that Persona 5 will come to Xbox and Switch at some point. That's why I think Sony only got exclusivity for the initial release, with P5 Golden coming to PS4, Switch, and Xbox later on. 

I don't think that "Only on PlayStation" is a requirement for PS exclusives, though.

You are wrong about Persona 5 DLC for Sonic Forces on PC. It is in fact available on Steam, you can check it out right now. There was some speculation about it when pre-orders started but it seems that it was a simple mistake which was fixed later.

And as for Persona 5 case, it has "Only on Playstation" at least in Russia. Still doesn't really matter because if the game gets re-release then it can be considered that the original version is only on Playstation. Same as with Xbox One PUBG version which nobody knows if it is a game preview console exclusive or a whole game.

Took nearly three weeks to arrive but my first DL Xbox One controller :P

 

Is BladeRunner in 4K worth it? How much is the quality difference between this and FullHD version? I'm thinking about buying it as well to test 4K TV.



 

Pubg should be at about a million users on Xbox right now
I'm ranked 225k in Europe server solo only
50k in Asia solo only
Jason's buddy at 550k in NA solo only.

Can't use my NA ranking because I'm doing good at it. These numbers don't include users who have not played solo. There is also doubles and squad. I'd put it at about 1 million right now. Pretty good for less than 2 days.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.
