Change the title because that is highly irrelevant to Halo. You don't search for "Xbox one + Halo" since everyone knows Halo is an exclusive. So change the title please.


Anything with Halo and Xbox is already included. Halo didn't give nearly the bump expected from a "pillar" exclusive. The title is accurate as the Halo effect only could created a fizzle and not the expected sizzle for the Xbox.

Did anyone even read the OP, or did you just see the pie charts and the words enclosed in the white boxes and go, " This is outrages, no wonder my console is doing worse!"

OP: Great job .

Of course it is not since the chart doesn´t include the specific word of "Halo" alone. How do you not know that XBox would have been massively down had it not been for Halo? It is a collection of a combination of a whole lot of word, and therefore you can´t obviously draw a conclusion regarding one game based on the effect of the Xbox in relation to a number of games. Misleading a thread when you have done great job is still misleading, however much you want Halo to have fizzled. It might have, but your chart doesn´t say it.

The thread title is accurate. Halo failed to generate the interest expected for the Xbox. You can look at the archive and see the bump other exclusives provide. There is no reason to believe that the Xbox One would drop off without Halo, no evidence in the archive supports such a claim. Things would have to be more dire for that to be the case.

Sony isn't money hungry? Thats funny, because last time I checked they're a corporation. Microsoft knows that you need to expand or you're going to explode just like the early colonist in America. They bought Gears of War, Minecraft, Havok this generation and possibly AMD. Each Xbox system is getting more and more popular than the next. Sony is too comfortable where they're at and they will one day run into a brick wall just look at Nintendo. Microsoft is the only console manufacture that improves each generation and gains more popularity. Sony is surviving mostly off of brand name and being cheaper at the start which caused a lot of people to purchase a PS4 and now their friends are.

Minecraft and Havoc aren't turning into exclusives. Why would Microsoft buy AMD right now? Congrats on realizing Sony is a corporation?

Note: Can someone explain how this was posted 24 hours ago? After a 15 min post....


Minecraft and Minecraft story is only on ps4 due to being made / worked on before Microsoft bought Minecraft. Havok and (possibly) AMD will still have a present with Playstation, but Microsoft can use this cut the middle man for their (Havok) games and (AMD) console to make them cheaper and the more money they make the more games they can invest into. The whole bit about Sony being a corporation was to tell that user that Sony is hungry for money as well.

It's a bit mean that they included all playstation and Xbox platforms but for Nintendo only the Wii U.


It's not really fair. DS/3DS should be included as well.

The OP explains that he specifically does not include all playstation platforms and in fact specifically takes out anything where only Playstation was mentioned or Playstation Vita so that it would be only the Playstation 4 as much as possible.  Xbox is a different matter because many call Xboxone just Xbox so it would skew things to leave that out.  

This is comparing only (as much as possible) PS4, Xbox One, and WiiU so DS/3DS inclusion does not make sense. 



...

Question to the OP: I apologize if this has been stated already but I was curious how things change if you take out Playstation and Xbox from their respective searches and only look at PS4, Playstation 4 and Xone, Xbox One specifically? Basically just taking out the first term from both searches.

Ah. I misread the description given as to how the results were gathered.
