I know I said I would play Devil May Cry 5 next, but I ended up playing and finishing Resident Evil VII: Biohazard instead. Awesome game!

Actually I disagree that MS would make any statement at this time on the profitability of GP.  My belief is that MS is looking to get to 150 million subs. Unless GP was bringing huge profits its not really worth making any announcement.  If its just breaking even then it also would not be worth making any announcements.  The thing is there is no reason to give your competitors at this early stage in GP lifecycle any information on where GP is nor would MS want to deal with always having to justify decisions to grow GP.  As I stated, MS is no longer in the console war and they see no reason to thump their chest saying how much money they are making or losing on GP.  The Old MS probably would have done that but every since Phil has taken over, that console war strategy has changed big time.

Village has to be next then! 

There's sooooooo much content coming to Infinite before the end of the year, but you can't help but wonder if it's going to be too little too late? As long as the game has a healthy population, I'm fine. It doesn't need to be top of the charts nonstop to be successful.

Any managed expectations for Xbox's presence at Gamescom? Seeing Age of Empires IV on the list, I wouldn't be surprised if a console version is announced. Especially considering there hasn't been any new playable empires/factions since launch as well as no expansion announcements (which could happen here) I can see that long awaited console announcement happen.

Really looking forward to seeing Pentiment gameplay as well to see what kind of options and branching storylines there will be.

On a side note, doesn't look like the Quake II remaster will be announced at Quakecon, so what other games was Nightdive Studios teasing?!?

Death Stranding supporting Xbox achievements is pretty funny:

A lot of 25th anniversary stuff happening EXCEPT that remaster announcement! I even watched the N64 Goldeneye documentary that released at the end of June.

I guess it was only a matter of time before someone added Mario Kart mechanics
