Well Halo Wars 2 and SoD2 are pretty big IPs.

The CGI master race 😀

Neither of those games are going to be console sellers. They are also launching in the same month as Horizon: Zero Dawn. 

Why do you get to determine which games are going to be console sellers and which are not.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

A loss is a loss. Sony won in Microsoft's stronghold again. Although it is sonys strongest market as well. You could say if you look at the last year- 2 years that things are shifting towards and even battlefield but we will see if Xbox can hold up in the 'dead zone'. Idk if it can part of me says yes but looking at history tells a different story.

that being said I gotta say guys I feel like if someone even utters something positive about Microsoft they get hammered. It's true most of that is directed towards the most enthusiastic of the Xbox fans but ev n when I try to say something even mildly positive about Microsoft without putting down another console someone or multiple people come down hard.

That happens whenever anyone mentions any of the consoles in a positive light.  Hell look at all the people who were bashing Switch and the people who were excited for it BEFORE IT WAS EVEN REVEALED.

Or hell, look at how many people are attacking for saying that PS is still doing well and in the lead.  It's the nature of the internet and being on forums with passionate fan bases.  Sadly the logical conversations without personal (or console) attacks can be few and far between.

Ur right but I think it's worse for us Xbox fans because we are vastly outnumbered.

That's why I hope they offer a Switch with 4G and mobile communication. There are a lot of poeple that only use smart phones for social and internet. A great gaming phone that delivered these basics could sell very well.

It doesn't look very promising for this model right now, but hopefully we are surprised. Without this, I don't feel very confident that they can do well, but I guess time will tell.

Is 4G really worth it when tethering is available on most devices?

If you want to carry around only one device that does high quality games + Facebook + web browsing + video streaming, then 4G is very important. For those that have the room and don't find carrying around multple devices a hassle, then I guess 4G plus tethering wouldn't be bad.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Sorry have to chime in here and say that the U.S is not Sony's strongest market. That would be the EU. Always has been.

Halo Wars didn't exactly blow up the needle, and that came out before Halo started its decline.

I don't know what SoD2 is though, and I didn't go back in the thread to find it.

State of decay 2.

I can't see Halo wars 2 being a console seller. Who didn't buy a console for halo 5 or even halo wars 1, but will for halo wars 2?

Never heard of the first State of Decay so I am gonna go ahead and say the second one isn't gonna move many units either.

Halo Wars is also an RTS, a genre that is exponentially more popular on PC.

I'm no that's sure if Europe as a whole is bigger  for them or not. But I wouldn't exactly call a continent a market. Is the Spain the same market as Germany? I didn't think they where.

More specifically the U.K. They were called "Sony land" for a while. It's been this way since the PS2 days. Sony consoles sells more there than they do in the U.S.

I think any game if it's good enough can be a console seller. That's why I think it's a little odd to say halo wars 2 and SOD2 r not system sellers but horizon is. If SOD2 turned out to be the best zombie game ever wouldn't it help sell consoles a little. Fyi people didn't hear much about the first SOD because it was a small budget game that I believe was digital only.
