If it's a great game the only risk of not selling well was the more modest size of the Xb one user base. Now that has been overcome by releasing on PC. The only reason this game might not meet sales expectations is if it ends up being a disappointment. Just like The Order 1886 was a major disappointment. Or there are unrealistic expectations of the game selling at GTA/CoD levels.

If it's a great game I will be very surprised if it doesn't make a profit.

How about Infamous and TLoU?  Btw I mentioned Nintendo ones too.  Nothing to say about those?  If they got sequels I'm thinking they were profitable.  There are more.

To me this reads like the author tried (and failed) to find something interesting to say in an otherwise standard "I played a preview, it was awesome" article.

You know the TV show called Quantum Break.

It was back when MS went through their the "TV is the future" phase.

It was canceled after gamers refused to buy MS's product.

Any tripple a game is always a risk. Anything  that cost money to make is a risk.  But not for the reasons in this article.

Its a risk becase its a new ip on a console with a smaller market and relatively little  real hype.

I'm hoping it does well. The better it does the faster we will get Alan Wake 2.

The author of the article completly ignored games like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, The Witcher, Mass Effects, Dragon Age, Uncharted, The Last of Us, Until Down, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider, Batman Arkham and so many others that came out in the last few years, have a begining, a middle and an end and were all a smashing sucess.

Theres a limit to MP games, thats why for every League of Legend there are like 10 generic unsucessfull and realy bad mobas. The dude who wrote this article dont realy know what he is talking about, that or he spent the last 5 years playing some online game and didn't pay atention to anything else.

So much this.

Sadly they are part of the list of games categories he listed. Dark Souls and Bloodbourne has only parts plus were big open worlds. Witcher, ME, DA, fallout, skyrim, Batman (maybe not the first one) - big open worlds. DA, Uncharted, even Tomb Raider has MP, no doubt as indicated by U4's MP, will have microtransations too.

Until Dawn - only game that does work and does fit here and it was a success. Quantum Break will be a success too. I agree with you on the last point, this guy doesn't know what he is talking about because a well made game, whether just a story with great gameplay mechanics, a platformer or a puzzle game, warrents being made else the industry will become stale when companies make games with generic MPs and an open world a game didn't need.

Original Uncharted didn't have MP and it was great, I didn't even touch the MP in 3 and while did with 2, the story alone was enough to sell the game and it is a linear path.

What are you talking about? It's not cancelled, it's still coming with the game.
