Xbox really f u c k ed up the storage this generation. PS5 with its option is much much better

Hell yes to actual gameplay and not just a tech demo like Hellblade 2 is

Yes vg chartz isn’t the most reliable source but the real numbers being in this ballpark aren’t shocking. Xbox hardware is an utter failure from a sales perspective. You need good quality exclusives to sell consoles and Xbox just doesn’t have that anymore.

lol Xbox fans what are we doing here?? Avowed and South of Midnight in the top 5?? This ain’t it lol.

@RadioHedgeFund lol fam come on now

@Titntin exactly this. People right now are putting way too much faith in Fable and playground as of now and like you said we haven’t seen enough of it.

@Shinato2024 and yet how many awards did Sony get this year???

@IOI no it didn’t fam. Especially when looking at other games this year

Too early to say. 1st off no way in hell the halo remake gets a nomination. 2nd off while unfortunately FH6 probably will be good enough to have a GOTY level score it’s not gonna get a nomination. So as of now it’s down to Fable and Eday. I don’t think Eday is going to be in the running but I hope I’m wrong and the coalition brings the horror aspects back and it’s amazing. That leaves fable and I don’t think enough people are speaking the truth about this game which is that we have no idea it’s going to turn out. Playground is a racing team and switching genres like this is no easy task, this game has also had some development issues do too how long it’s taken to make. Then there’s the real challenge which is the insane amount of big games that are coming from or appear to be GOTY caliber. GTA 6, RE Requiem, Pragmata, crimson desert, 007 first light, onimusha, Lego Batman, control resonant, and more I’m missing and we don’t know about.

@BAMozzy by cod standards it’s absolutely a flop out of the gate. Yes I would hope BO7 would outsell BO6 year to date in its launch month, I’m talking about the charts when both games launched. Even being on game pass the month BO6 launched it was already the 3rd best selling game of 2024. Yes BO7 has outsold a lot of other games this year, but that’s the expectation cause if effing COD. The fact that COD hasn’t outsold games like MH Wilds or BL4 that has softer tails isn’t good. Yes of course with games it’s about the tail end and not just out of the gate but it’s an awful start. All measurable metrics show BO7 has had a bad start. Low player reception and critical reception. Insane drop in players on Steam and double digit drops in sales overall by double digits. None of this is good.

@BAMozzy BO7 is not out performing BO6 dude. BO6 launched at the end of the month in a much busier window and was the 3rd best selling game year to date vs BO7 launching is a quieter window with 2 weeks left and is only the 7th. Yes it’s not a total failure but these are horrible numbers for Cod by any metric you look at. BO7 is doing bad by any metric.

Also will say it’s great to see Outer Worlds 2 maintaining sold enough sales. Especially on ps5 and pc.

Love to see Cod and activison being knocked down a couple of pegs. Yes EA isn’t much better of a company but they put the work in on BF6 and deserve the credit and success for making it such a great game.

@BAMozzy dude. Stop deflecting and defending cod so hard. The fact that bo7 in year to date sales isn’t even in the top 5 is horrible for it.

I think this is more so them memeing and joking around

South of Midnight doesn’t belong on this list let alone as high as it is. Outer Worlds 2 isn’t there. Doom the dark ages isn’t there. No kingdom come deliverance 2 is asinine. The alters isn’t on it.

Wouldn’t have expected this out of the damn Godfall team

@andrewsqual would still say several of their games are amazing, mainly Indiana Jones.

In all honesty none of Xbox’s games were on the level of these games. They released a lot of amazing games but so did a lot of other devs. Outer worlds 2, doom dark ages and Indiana jones all deserve the love they got.

Ope. At least we have BF6 for a good mp and hopefully Metroid prime 4 delivers a proper campaign.

The best year of gaming in over a decade. Love seeing Indiana Jones get some love.

@ILuvGames too competitive of a year stuff was gonna be left out.

@FraserG south of midnight is the last Xbox game that would deserve a nomination

@Banjo- oh feel bad for the 3 trillion dollar company

@masofdas nothings been said about physical to other platforms dawg

Good move by Nintendo. Also GG’s to any other AAA game besides one getting in on the GOTY nominees. Book it now it’s gonna be Hades 2, Silksong, expedition 33, DK Banaza, Split Fiction, and then what ever the best reviewed AAA game is this year between KCD2, Death Stranding 2, Yotei, Outer Worlds 2, or maybe Shinobi or something like that.

It’s always ok to bully corporations and call them out on their *****

Man I hope it’s good. COD is on its back heels and BF could make some noise.

@SeaDaVie most people liked the game and it sold very well but a lot of the mechanics are dated when looking at games like Cyberpunk and KCD2

@Tdx you need to play more games cause there are better RPGs this gen fam

It’s a great game that has several flaws. Should have been far fewer planets with more details on each. The loading screens are a bit much. Also seeing Cyberpunk and Kingdom Come 2 come out after really showed how dated Starfield’s rpg elements are. Was overall proper rated and it didn’t deserve a GOTY nom.

@awp69 rare is safe but think the everwild team could be screwed

@Nic-Noc20th-C might go multiplat but it probably won’t be with Compulsion. South of midnight is a solid game but it definitely was one of the weaker titles. Not saying I hope the team gets canned just that when looking other teams their head is on the chopping block.

@Ricky-Spanish wouldn’t say well received. It reviewed ok but yes Compulsion is definitely on the table for a team to get canned

Man Xbox likes to screw over Xbox players by releasing features that should have been in the game at launch over a year later.

Not the most shocking considering it was shadow dropped and it’s 2 years after initial launch. It’s still a step in the right direction for Square. Xbox sales are a nice bonus but the main thing is getting on PC day and date at launch. That’s the big thing Square needs.

GOTY contender incomint

Hopefully with a physical release

@Fiendish-Beaver Microsoft doesn’t care about their hardware sales. They obviously are going to continue to make hardware but their priority is in software. Their hardware is dying. Main reason why we are seeing them try so hard to increase pc game pass and mobile. Just saying that the best thing for the Microsoft gaming studios teams is prioritizing launching everywhere to make these games and teams as sustainable as they can. Hardware doesn’t mean ***** nowadays, they threw in the towel of meaningfully competing in that market and now their priorities need to shift

@Fiendish-Beaver but Phil Spencer himself has stated they aren’t going to try to get people to leave their platforms for Xbox so they have nothing to gain by not putting all their games everywhere at launch.

@Fiendish-Beaver it’s for the best this way. Maximize reach and sales for the games.

@Nighto4 lol for pc yes, but for Xbox give it several years.

Well at least this game is getting a physical release with a disc. Would like too see Xbox publishing get their ***** together and do a proper physical release for Avowed.

Definitely makes sense with the Ps5 exclusives going to PC, but still think Sony as of right now has absolutely no incentive to port their games to Xbox outside of certain exceptions. Mean as of right now seems like it’s maybe 30 million and it’s not like Xbox is experiencing insane levels of growth. They still have some incentive for Exclusives, at least timed before a PC release. Vs Xbox which even when they had their biggest exclusives in years last year with Starfield, they still saw a loss in growth for 2023. With them now focusing on multiplatform releases, they are better of focusing of launching everywhere at the same time.

Upset Xbox didn’t truly invest and compete this gen with console exclusives, especially after talking about wanting to compete in the ftc court case over ABK. But that’s in the past and the reality is that Xbox in terms of console hardware is dead as it was in the traditional sense. Now might as well put games everywhere to maximize game sales, also would appreciate more physical releases on ps5 and switch 2. Focus on making games and making sure the teams can be sustainable in development and that they make good games.

At least with these newer interviews Phil seems to be way more honest then last year.

Xbox in hardware is cooked fam. GG’s wrap it up. Should just focus on shipping everything everywhere at launch to maximize on sales. And maybe give games proper physical releases for ps5 and switch 2 since Xbox doesn’t give a damn about Xbox physical copies.
