So which is Greater in theory..... Xbox one = 5 milli or PS4 = 10milli +PC gamers

Which is greater????? XBO > PS4+ (PC)

:leostare::ufdup:

There's plenty more context to consider.

This deal was made by professional analysts, lawyers, marketing execs, ect. They obviously feel like its a good move. A couple fanboys throwing salt won't change that :ufdup:

And if it doesnt reach sales expectations due to it being on ONE platform???? You tend to forget the core gamers are the ones who didnt go out and buy and xbox after E3 when they almost got screwed over... Microsoft continues to screw gamers over by ripping away a game that should have been a multiplatform game FROM jump...

Square Enix and the Xbox Suits don't really have the greatest track record right now.

Yeah, Microsoft funding games and saving franchises is "taking games away from gamers":heh:

Still talking about E3:heh:

Core gamers don't buy Xbox :heh:

Stop bytching and go buy a Xbox :camby:

They are making money and making games.

Saving franchises?!?!!?!? The sequel was already in the works.microsoft didnt SAVE shyt... wow you really are being fed their narrative hook, line and sinker... Microsoft was desperate that's what it boils down too, they couldnt be outshined by drake and laura coming out the same time, so they took one.

you need to be more objective....:beli:

I'm being objective. Look at the third party exclusives they have.

Titanfall and respawn were out of money and on the way down. Microsoft funded them and got the game out.

Dead rising was gone. Microsoft approached capcom about bringing it back.

Tomb Raider was a financial failure and CD may not have gotten the green light to make the game, or they would have been given a shytty budget. This way they can push the game as far as they want to go.

This all benefits gamers. Game development costs money. Money being spent on development is good for gamers.

Y'all just so stuck in hate mode that you refuse to acknowledge it.

Now you be objective :ufdup:

and go buy a Xbox :mjpls:

couple thoughts:

- it's a good business move for both (ms gets an exclusive for the 1 for 2015 holiday season; se doesnt have to foot all the costs of the game), that's cool....they poorly worded the announcement, that's not cool...at this point, they both need to shut up and just concentrate on making the game...this shyt don't come out till next year....I could see if they were using this press to talk about other shyt on xbox1 and/or se, but they aint....so yea, they need to just keep it moving at this point....

- it's really not that serious if the game is exclusive to the 1 for the holiday season next year....both consoles get exclusives and/or extra shyt from deals with devs, that's how the business works...

- i'm tired of seeing muthafukkas talk about infamous/titanfall numbers, sale of software on both systems, etc., but not putting shyt up, so I looked the shyt up myself...as of jul 26th, titanfall has sold 2.03 mil and infamous has sold 1.46...total software sales for ps4 23.83, xbox1 16.42....so yea, titanfall has sold more on xbox than infamous, but more games have been sold on ps4.....hopefully now people will stop talking about that shyt....
