Well, hopefully this will keep weekly sales numbers at 3 digits.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Facepalms...

I probably better tell them they're wasting their time since there are no JRPGs on the machine... The only way this can work is if FFXV releases and they run out of PS copies, prompting desperate fans to run and buy an Xbox One to play the game...

There, I just told MS International an easy way to hit at least 10,000 sales for a year...

Wow, this will increase the Xbone weekly sales over there at least 10%. That's right, two consoles more per week! XD

Seriously, why even bother at this point.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

I know you're joking but if they're desperate they'd just get it digital on ps4 instead of going out and buying a whole new console.

Decent price. Not enough to beat PS4 though, or even PS3 really, but hey it`s better than it was before so that`s something... right?

I would encourage MS to bring the games now, Lost Odyssey 2 for starters, but it would just be too little too late so there`s not really even much point in trying that now.

They can try, but they have to try harder and stay on the race. No quitting the race two games later. Building brand loyalty takes time and it isn't fast...

Ask the guys who were the reason the last console actually started making inroads...

There's a crowd despising digital and PSN isn't really great. It's farfetched, but I wasn't joking...
