Better than expected Forza 7 numbers. With digital sales, the total should be 400-500K, if not more.

Even if we count the physical copies only, thia could be the best year for Forza franchise ever in the UK.

Gonna try it out after work

So guys where speculating about Microsoft’s e3 on ERA and zhuge said this
“#10622
Yeh, as has already been hinted. Outside of a couple of other new titles yet to be announced, Microsoft is still really focused on its core IP and expanding them into different genres. That's why there is stuff like Halo Wars, Forza Horizon, Minecraft Story Mode etc...

So you can expect that sort of trend to continue when it comes to Microsoft's core IP. But as i said a while back, the larger and bigger projects are still years out and are being designed for the 'next generation' (Whatever that means for Microsoft).”.

So this to me means perfect dark and fable are “next gen” for sure. For me that also confirms both the splash damage gears spinoff and the Hali spinoff that I speculate is a 3rd person ODST battlefield or battlegrounds. I also
Think there’s a chance electric squares game is a Minecraft spinoff.

I think that if what zhuge says is than maybe next gen is closer than I thought. I was thinking next console would release holiday 2020, but I am now leaning towards early 2020 and I now see holiday 2019 a possibility where in the past I never considered it. Next gen would start off with a bang... halo 6, gears 5, perfect dark, fable, and forza horizon 5 all within the consoles first 18 months.

I still think that mod support will be limited and curated by Microsoft. Just like in Fallout 4 on Xbox. They will probably make a specific store section for mods in the future and provide tools for developers to implement mods by using Xbox SDK which is great.

It is pretty much to be expected. There is no chance that such big games like Perfect Dark and Fable will launch this year if they only went into development stage last year. Late 2019 is the earliest when they can release.

Ryuu96 said: Fable actually still wasn't in development stage last year Pre-Production still, I assume they could start development first half 2018 but it's going to have to be an extreme push for them to get it out in 2021. It's awkward to guess Halo/Gears placement, I think we'll get a much clearer picture depending on what one is announced for 2019, If any, I would be pleasently surprised if Microsoft allowed both of their major titles to go this long without a mainline entry. 5 years for Halo or 4 years for Gears, when neither game really needs that long, they'll definitely have to release some major spinoffs in between for Microsoft to be satisfied with their output considering the size of them studios....

Ohh ya spinoffs are coming. We know about splash damage n gears we just don’t know exactly what it is. Just look at what kind of games splash damage makes and it’s most likely a shooter. They haven’t made a x-com like game or rts to my knowledge. With halo I highly doubt a rpg at this time. Sure I could see them getting obsidian to do that(which would be awesome) but there spinoff is much more hush hush than gears and thus it is likely an in-house game. Almost certainly a shooter as well. 

Excellent news about Crash.
It was obvious from the start but it took longer than I expected for it to be announced.

Also Undertale coming to Switch is another good sign for it to be on Xbox One in the near future.

guess who joined the one X club....

Guess who's found little use for it besides a modded Skyrim machine? 

Congrats. I also joined just two days ago and I love it. Huge improvement over One S.
