Forums - Gaming - Microsoft is Expecting Huge Xbox One Sales from backwards compatability

They will probably surpass Sony in the US, at least for now, but globally everyone knows it won't happen of course.

It'll be more thanks to Halo 5 rather than BC I think.

Its not that Sony had a bad line up its just the days of announcing something then waiting 1-2 year is ending. This year and last year Sony really have nothing hopefully they have learned this.

That's an incredibly inaccurate title Vasto and I think you knew that.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Around the Network

Here's the Gamespot interview with Jim Ryan that the article is referencing:

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-e3-2015-interview-final-fantasy-7-exclusivity/1100-6428295/

As I said, he's not talking about the E3 conference, but the 2015 first party lineup, exceptionally shoddy journalism at work once again.

Edit: From the wccftech article

"Interviewed by Gamespot, PlayStation Europe’s Jim Ryan admitted that there was a lack of great games at Sony’s E3 conference and that Xbox One had a stronger portfolio this year. He substituted the blame to the releases they had earlier this year including Bloodborne, Until Dawn and Tearaway Unfolded."


underlined: He didn't
bolded: Abdullah Awan, if you don't know what you're talking about then don't write inflammatory articles about gaming


"But with a total of 23.3 million sales of the PS4 by the end of April, the console is still heading strong as we approach the second half of 2015." - http://wccftech.com

Is that true? the PS4 is over 23.3 million units sold?

First time I hear that, he probably pulled that number out of his ass.



This thread title is wrong and also BC won't do much do boost sales.

It's all just PR talk.

It is good for someone who still wants to play 360 games as well as Xbox One games but doesn't want to sell their 360 for an Xbox One.



Can't wait for The Zelder Scrolls 3: Breath of The Wild Hunt!
