I think Beam is going to be a flop.

Yes. Even though Halo sold twice as much in the first week, Forza legs are much better. I expect this to continue next year.

I don't think Halo Wars 2 had many pre-orders to justify spending "weeks" sending the codes. I pre-ordered it yesterday after finishing ReCore and I'm excited to play the first one again. Hopefully I'll get it within a week.

Just after I said I need to stop buying games, I spent $80 on Halo Wars pre-order!

I honestly don't know you know forzas legs are better(it is a great game though). The only thing to go off of is the most played list. And that would show halo having more longevity. Even if Frankie meant shipped at 3 months not sold. It's probably at 6 million sales as of now at least. It could be as high as 7 million.  Forza horizon 3 will be lucky as hell if it ever sells 5 million copies. I'd guess it's at around 2 million now. Someone could check the leaderboards to see the total players.

Just finished ReCore. Better than what I expected after seeing the reviews. At its current state I think it deserves 75-80 meta. Other than the negatives everybody talked about, I thought the world is bigger than the game, especially Shifting Sands. Game is old school fun, reminds me of PS1 era. We're missing games like this.
I got a very easy 800 gamescores. The last one, 40 points, takes a lot of time because you need to search for extra cores, but the first 760 points you can get within few hours. Recommended for achievements hunters.

I was talking about the UK only. I don't think it will get far beyond 3 millions worldwide. 

Since I was talking about easy achievements, Titanfall 2 has them as well. I'm about to finish the campaign on hard difficulty, which is very easy outside Boss fights, and I think I'll get 500 points without exploring or doing anything special.

The game is super good. I love Gears and wanted to vote for it as shooter of the year but the platforming here might give the edge to Titanfall. Everyone should try it.
I'll start Battlefield once I finish it. Then to COD maybe.

not too excited about the next GwG month. With all the new BC titles that have been made available recently, I was hoping for something better than an indie game and a predecessor to a game that was already GwG (even if it's a fantastic one).

Overall, what a brilliant year for Xbox One! I didn't play a single RPG though :/ I guess I'll have to buy Final Fantasy when it's on sale then.

I bought it a month or so ago and was actually planning to start it at the start of December but then we got that video about the new core bot comingearly 2017 so decided to play some of my other backlog and wait on it as everyone said it would make getting around a lot more enjoyable but as soon as that patch arrives im jumping into Recore :)
