Anecdotally a number of my friends here in the US that has been waiting for months to get a Series X finally got one in December and with relative ease. 

I’m wondering if Microsoft was able get a huge shipment out for December globally 

Also I’ve notice the resell value for the Series X drastically dropped in December. It’s now around $580 which is only $30 than retail including tax.

What are the latest numbers of players in Forza Horizon 5? I think the last update was at 12 million.

 How do 700 devs working on a multiplayer only game for 3 years make such a bad game? It's mind boggling.



...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

It's a shame considering how good bf1 was and bfv had a good run too...

With cod falling out of favour with a lot of their fan base EA will rue this missed opportunity to take some ground off the leader for years.



BF 2042 had a good launch. Seems like sales fell of a cliff after launch.



Around the Network

Forza at almost 15 million. Not bad.

Cardinal is the codename for Age of Empires IV so this could be them testing the Xbox version.

Praying for m&k support.

Just saw this, I kept seeing folk say that Certain Affinity are on Perfect Dark but it doesn't look concrete yet, but they might be, it honestly wouldn't be surprising though, Certain Affinity are everywhere, especially when it comes to Xbox and with The Initiative/Crystal Dynamics focused on the singleplayer it would make sense to pull someone like Certain Affinity in for the multiplayer.

Side note, I still hope Microsoft acquire them if they're still interested in selling, which has reminded me that Leyou/Tencent had the option of acquiring the rest of Certain Affinity in 2021 as per their contract when they acquired 20% of Certain Affinity, it looks as though they didn't do that so I'm assuming that now allows the possibility of others making an offer and the valuation back then didn't exceed $150m and was only $10m for 20% IIRC.

Gives them a studio in Texas which has quite a bit of talent, a nice opportunity for growth, not to mention, Certain Affinity has been a pretty vital support studio to Xbox for years now.

Certain Affinity are still developing that Transformers MMO so they will be tied to that for a long time when/if it comes out.

We would have heard by now if Tencent bought out the rest of CA for 100% like they did with Splash Damage, I think that ship has sailed for MS though.

So starting Lake, this game is painfully slow oh lawd.

You could say it has placid game design.

*walks away in shame*



My most anticipated game this year is Cyberpunk 2077. I haven't played it yet and I'm still waiting for next gen version. I want to play this game more than Starfield.
