How big is XBox in Mexico btw?

One of the very few territories where xbox actually leads. Thanks in part to Gears of War, which is like COD level in Mexico. 

 

Really? Didn't even know that. They sure have a great taste in games & consoles.

Last gen 360 was bigger than PS3 afaik. I believe PS4 closed the gap some but Xbox is still more popular.

More popular? Honestly? That would make it the only country worldwide I guess. If true I can see why they hold the event there. Can anyone confirm?

Edit: Thx Flashfire, that’s interesting.

Xbox is more popular in Central/South America if I remember correctly. This is because it is cheaper than the other consoles.

Give to Xbox is a nice charity thing.

So Microsoft bought multiple studios. My prediction is Obsidian Games and Armature Studio

How many of that translates to sold units or active engagement though?Being on gamepass makes it hard to determine its success.

Yeah, it's hard to gauge success. However Phil Spencer has said both Sea of Thieves and State of Decay performed better than they expected.

Thats good to hear.



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

Creators of Recore. Cheap buy and Recore 2 was in the talks.

They developed ReCore. Also did some Vita stuff before that. There were rumors of a Texas acquisition a few weeks back and Armature is based in Texas.

Ah ok thanks :D

Seems to have been founded by key Metroid Prime developers, and they seem to help develop other games, like borderlands, though I dont know if they made original games.

Good Announcements, very poor pacing. This can easily be condensed to an hour if we get rid of the fluff.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
