Get a PS4 dude. Best decision you'll ever make. 

Don't bring that console war shit into here! Imma have to fuck you up! 

Seriously though I'm not interested in PS4 or I would have bought one long ago however I will be buying a Switch (Better have achievements )

Had nothing to do with console wars, just a suggestion. Sorry you took it that way.

I hate to say it guys, but Xbox is going downhill fast. It's looking like the writing is on the walls, I don't think Xbox is going to be around much longer. Scorpio could very easily flop, with so few 2017 exclusives to push it and a potentially high launch price. If Scorpio flops I don't think MS will bother with another console, we'll see MS Studios go 3rd party or possibly PC only in a continued vain attempt to push Windows Store over Steam.

1st party is majorly on the decline: Lionhead closed, Press Play closed, Team Dakota closed, Twisted Pixel allowed to go independent. Halo on the decline thanks to poor design decisions and poor writing. Gears on the decline. The only new 1st party studio in years, Decisive Games, supposedly closed.

Phil claims that 1st party is no longer their focus and that 2nd party is the future, but look at their 2nd party deals so far this gen. Quantum Break- flopped. ReCore- flopped. Crimson Dragon- flopped. D4- flopped. Sunset Overdrive- decent sales but far from great. Scalebound- Cancelled, Phantom Dust reboot-cancelled. Crackdown 3- having development issues. So far the only 2nd party success this gen has been Ori.

How does Phil not see that they need to be building up their 1st party instead of putting their faith in 2nd party deals? E3 is really Microsoft's last chance, if they don't come out swinging with some huge announcements (new studios, new games, a killer Scorpio price point) I think that's it for Xbox.

Where did he say this... ffs. How can one be this dense. Look at Sony's success with first party and look what MS is doing now. And like you said that strategy isn't working at all  

I'm hoping they just have a shit ton for Scorpio, but idk anymore.

I think thats a bit knee-jerk.

In the last year MS has started releasing strong games, fixed their console's image, and sales have rebounded. There was an entire year when the Xbox 360 just about stopped selling and MS stuck with it. We're also past the point where the new CEO is going to can the system - its his child now.

Certainly this is a setback, but a game that always sounded great but never actually looked any good is a bit of a mirage - not a tangible loss. Take a look at Sony's games. For all they too have had some enormous successes (Bloodbourne, UC4), they've also released flop after flop from their first party and second party relationships. Ups and downs are just part of the cycle.

WTF! Scalebound's cancelled? That actually pisses me off. I was looking forward to this the most out of the exclusives. Instead of diversifying their line up MS just wants more fucking shooters. I really should have gone playstation this generation. Fuck my love for underdogs and xbox.



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion

Wtf did they develop the game on? X1 dev kit or NASA computers?



Seventizz on 09 January 2017

As an Xbox owner this gen - I didn't really care about this game and personally, I don't know many people that did.

Sonys first party really isnt that great imo but leagues ahead of MSs.

- Microsoft and Platinum Games clashed creatively on different design philosphies between a Western publisher and Japanese devleoper which had a huge negative impact on the moral of the team.

- Hideki Kamiya and Jp Kellams took a month long break from the company for their mental health.

- There was also technical issues, they were unable to get it to run consistently on Xbox One and MS/Platinum couldn't come up with a solution

- Source says MS is more to blame on that for not willing to compromise/scale back on key features in the game

- Currently zero plans to revive it.

 

Platinum Games going to join Obsidian as "Developers that will never work with MS again" Lol...

1. PG should have listened to MS since they were funding the game.

2. The studios head should have not left and they decided to leave so i blame them for the lack of development from September-Oct.

3. Isnt the standard 900p? Forza Horizon 3 can run at 1090p 60fps with a great open world.

3."Scale back on key features of the game" no shit they wouldn't want to scale back on KEY features of the game.

The game was probably too ambitous for PG they should go back to AA games.

Well fellow Xbots... we survived the battle today. We lost a lot of great men. Our once proud Noble is now reduced to the toilet boy in PS Nation. It can't get any worse than this. I say we rally our men, pick ourselves up from the rubble, and carry on!

FOR XBOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: Ryuu you did well today as leader, showed good self control. Jaywood would have been banned. Oh wait Bang Bang.

What I gotta say is, MS green lit State of Decay and TMCC which were technically mess. That says something about Scalebound development.
I'm on the outside mourning though. I was really looking forward to this game.
