So i was right, there will never be a Fable 4 on X1.

Xbox on this generation is so far from xbox quality

Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

PS4: 17m XB1: 10m WiiU: 10m Vita: 10m

Wtf is wrong with MS? E3 will be interesting...

On a different note this is the absolute best time for MS to get all this bad PR. Far from holidays, past Feb tax buyers and as far away from E3 as possible without effecting Feb.

That's explains everything. Do it after the buying season.

The only explanation is budget cuts for the Xbox division.

Wow, sad to hear. Maybe MS plans to create or buy another studio.

Sigh...

Shooter shooter shooter shooter shooter shooter shooter shooter shooter.

Figures the one non shooter gets canned.

Why don't they cancel Halo or GoW instead.

Did you play the not shooter games MS published?

This isnt the end of Fable. In fact, this might be an opportunity to put it in better hands.

Which?

Forza 5, Forza Horizon 2, Forza 5 GOTY, or Forza 6?

You sound like a guy that doesn't play a lot of X1 games.

I predict we will see a new Fable, potentially Fable 4 on X1.

Shutting Ensemble down was bad. Was the studio really losing them money or were they just not making enough?

No idea, Age of Empries III was their first proper 3D AoE game and back then I thought it was a really good attempt, years later they just got axed.

Edit: wait, thewy last made Halo Wars, which might have been the death knell for them as they were known for PC RTS games and Halo Wars was strictly360 only and didn't really sell gangbusters, even back then me and friends referred to that game as "babbys first RTS" despite it being ok and fun.

Do you think it would have been better if they released it on PC and 360?
