Very impressed by Hi-Fi Rush as this chart is ranked by Revenue and Hi-Fi Rush is only $30

Hi-Fi Rush at $30 actually made more Revenue launch week than Forspoken did at $70. Pretty shocking especially with a shadow drop

It perfectly fits into the kind of tempo I've brought up before: having their 2020 middle-market variety mixed in with the big AAA stuff. And now, MS has a clear signal to not be so goddamn scared of Q1.

Xbox really needs to sort the licenses out for all of these and bring them under XGSP.

I'm waiting for Mid Enix to blame Tomb Raider for Forespoken's flop.

Any second now...

Square shoulda just called it Final Fantasy: Forespoken. Woulda gave it like a minimum 5 point meta pity bump, and sold more to boot.

Interesting that he doesn't mention Fable specifically, though that could be the "upcoming titles" he mentions. There was that rumor that they moved Fable off of ForzaTech over development issues but that rumor seemed super bogus to me for a variety of reasons.

Tbf nobody has "officially" mentioned it aside from listing it in their Linkedin's then removing it, Lol.

He lists Forza Horizon(s) and Motorsport(s) plural so he seems to be including all current and future Motorsport/Horizons there.

In which case, "upcoming titles" is talking about Fable.

But I wonder if that is plural too and talking about multiple IPs? Lol.
