Loving BC. Gears 3 has a solid population bump because of it. Around 2.5k (inc horde) players for a 2011 game is great. Gonna finally get to rank 100 which I never got around to when I was playing it in 2011/12.
Having said that, I doubt its having an effect on sales, but existing owners are loving it I can tell.
As far as many people still believes, things like BC or multimedia extras are NOT a major thing for Big Sales.
Xbox One is doing just OK but it's going to end with less sales than the X360.
After the initial disaster of the always online, Kinect and a higher price, MS still managed to keep supporting the XOne (Of course, they have a lot of money).
But even in the USA, the PS4 is just selling better
Considering sales have been close to 2015 and 2016 it have been stable.

| adisababa said: I have faith in the Xbox One being a viable platform, it's still successful and a very sustainable platform perfectly adequate to play all the popular games this gen. 2018 will be a great year in terms of first-party games for the Xbox, Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2, Crackdown 3, Ashen, The Last Night and Forza Horizon 4 are all interesting games that do have the potential to be great if done right. Can't wait for what they have to offer, especially the new Fable and Halo 6. |
Last I heard of Fable was Lionhead being cancelled... there have been announcement about Fable, rumors or just your expectation?

Well if their next box is still in the Xbox One family, its possible they would surpass 360. I believe the X1X is gonna be relevant in the 9th gen, especially if it can handle 9th gen games well at $199-$250.
The initial disaster of X1 wasn't really that bad. They fixed the major issues prior to launch, the Kinect was removed to lower the price, and MS never made significant price cuts to stay competitive. So even though MS has a lot of money, they didn't do a lot to undercut PS4. Frankly, I don't believe MS was interested in losing money on Xbox. Regardless, the console has thrived fairly well, its a very relevant platform, and Xbox software is now used to prop up Windows Store.

| KBG29 said: What? If your not winning, then it doesn't matter if you have a viable platform. At least thats what people tell me about a PlayStation Phone and PlayStation Portable. I agree with you though. XBO is doing well. I believe this gen is going to be just as long as last gen or longer, and when it is all said and done, I can see XBO selling roughly the same as the 360. I see both Sony and Microsoft trying to slam the door on devices like Amazon Fire TV, Roku, and Apple TV once they move to 7nm. We should see $99.99 PS4 Super Slim and XBOSS in 2019 or 2020, and that will help push the platforms into the furthest reaches of the market. Microsoft is doing an awesome job building a solid platform with backwards comparability and Play Anywhere, they are making Xbox a very worth while product. These kinds of moves make it comfortable to jump into the platform at any time, and know you have access to games for years to come, and your entire library if you had a previous product. I have faith that they will sort out there 1st party issues. They have a long way to go to compete with Sony and Nintendo, but as I opened with. You don't have to be winning/the market leader to be successful. |
Despite Microsoft mess ups at the begining of the generation, they could hit 360 sales when it all said and done is amazing. Next generation just don't mess up the messaging and keep the console competitively priced and you should do a lot better by default. Also, having Minecraft on xbox and not ps5 should help a lot.

Agree with you, MS corrected most of its big shortcomings and it was without infering in costs... they only didn't correct their 1st party releases, but thhat didn't seem to bother most of the userbase. So yes I think X1 was a financial success and the coming back have nothing to do with MS economical prowess but good relationship on the market.

So...It looks like sales are going to be pretty much flat this year compared to the last two. Doesn't that also mean that BC, the One S, the One X, and nearly constant sales and deals have only managed to keep One sales stable? Is that good?
Bet with Adamblaziken:
I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Lionhead was shut down, Fable Legends (a mediocre online game) was cancelled.
Fable is still popular, the question is who's gonna continue it? Thus far its just rumors but its silly to think the IP is dead.
Even X1 remasters of the trilogy would be nice just to have the visuals cleaned up for modern consoles. They do well on PC as well given there is a RPG following there.

I think people are knocking it’s numbers because 1) the X launched, and you would think new super powered hardware would give it a much bigger boost, and 2) a lot of the hardcore Xbox fans have been claiming power is the main driving force behind console sales, claiming it’s the main reason why PS4 has done so well. Yet, here we are with both the base PS4 and significantly weaker Nintendo Switch dominating the sales charts. I guess it’s more of an “I told you so” scenario, since said hardcore Xbox fans were claiming things would automatically turn around once X was out.
