Gametrailers review of the Masterchief Collection is making me wish I could buy this on any platform but Xbox One. This looks like a really great collection. I love Halo, minus Halo 4, and the collection's only real fault is that it's missing Reach.

UBISoft extended the review embargo on this game, so it's not looking good.

afaik the guy who used to be the main character got killed off, so who even knows at this point. Last game they cast you as an apple employee outside of the animus, so I dunno how they'll top that this time around.

Nothing makes sense, its pointless to try. However, the templars and assassin kids are still fighting the same petty fights so Ubi can continue to rip the nipples off the dried out utter without actually programming the next yearly installments.

Either way as it is right now not enough Xbones have sold to sustain the Master Chief Collections gigantic multiplayer. It's going to be so fragmented. I think Microsoft expected the Xbone to be a run away success by now, but it's not even close to being a success. MCC will probably be on PC next year to make up for this.

I knew someone who sold a PS4 to his brother for $200, so prices on PS4s have dropped by half year over year too.

Really though I'm not sure what the big deal is about a handful of consoles being sold at 20% off from an online retailer that ran out of the coupon code savings after like 2 hours.

Reminds me of when I was in Japan and sold my PS3 for $300, only to discover after I could have gotten over $500 as a trade-in for it at a nearby store. :doh:

The next-gen exclusive with the highest Metacritic score was originally an Ouya game. So we all know what the real next-gen system is, especially here in Canada with its long-standing #1 amazon.ca ranking.

The best part about the PS4's abysmal lineup of lovely games is its no hurdle at all to tremendous sales. All anyone cared about at lauch was not buying the system that was a VCR which wouldnt play used games or watch you sleep. All anyone cares about now is buying the system that their friends have.

MS would be doing perfectly fine (not to be confused with Selling Fine™) today with their 32mb esram powerhouse had they just not tried to get away from traditional console gaming right at the outset and waited a single year to start talking about all things always-on, the end of ownership and The Price Is Right.

That's all it would have took.

Thanks Yususf.

I disagree about souls/bloodbarn, but its not even out yet. Sunset Overdrive and MCC are both great and out now. I think the Xbox One will be the PS3 of this generation, MS knows they're the underdog right now and they have to work harder to sell systems. They've actually listened to the playerbase and fixed/improved/added features to the dash and will try to get more exclusives.

Are they "listening to the playerbase" or are they just looking at the list of features currently working on the 360 and porting them over? Because if they were listening to the playerbase I'd be the owner of a pretty sweet 20nm XBox OneThree60.5 that runs all games at 4k resolution right now along with a gracious apology from one Phillip Q.

You'd also be paying about the same price as a high end gaming pc and playing the games at about 10 fps.

Microsoft is in a far more disadvantaged position than the PS3 was. Despite the PS3's abysmal launch, it was still the unquestioned #1 system everywhere except the U.S. and U.K. and also had two significant improvements over the Xbox 360: Blu-ray disc capacity allowing 40+ gig games, and a mandatory hard drive in each console allowing for mandatory hard drive installations from the outset. It was a pain in the rear end at first, even with some PS3 versions of games having a 10-minute installation wait while the 360 version worked immediately, but once people figured the system out they were doing things on it that were flat-out not possible on the 360 until they started requiring hard disk installations as well (sorry Xbox 360 Arcade owners, that'll be $150 for 320 gigs).

Right now they're fighting to claw back the U.S., and they might actually be the leaders for the month of November if current sales trends continue, but that'll be a temporary bump at best.

No you see, they'd sell it at a discount along with a cable TV subscription because your cable company would want you to have cable TV so they'd pay you to have Microsoft's Xbox because, well because I don't understand economic incentives.

But trust me, someone will subsidize the console brand that is too big to fail. Isn't that right Mr. Bernanke, I'm thinking a little TbARP might come in handy right about now.
