Phil also stated that it costs him money to put out hardware. That's not to say that Xbox sales aren't important, but the real money is in software and services. Hardware counts these days are mostly used as console warrior bate. Hardware sales matter but, they aren't the be all end all like they used to be.
Because you don't hear it, doesn't mean people aren't playing it or talking about either game. Halo 5 is still talked about and played regularly by many. Its also still one of the most played online games, even today. And its 3 years old - it'll be four years by time Halo 6 releases. Forza also still has a very healthy community of players. Horizon 3 is almost 3 years old, and its still has a super solid community of gamers.

- there is no way spider man is as big or bigger than Pokemon. Pokemon has a worldwide following and has been around for almost as long as Mario. The series doesn't do much for me (im not the biggest rpg fan), but it's massive in japan and pretty big in the US. This latest spider man entry for the ps4 looks really good, but it's one game and isn't connected to any previous spider man games. Let's see how it does after release first. One game I would argue is as big as pokemon, or at least used to be, is halo. It has the history of success and appeal that many franchises are jealous of. lol sure dude.
No i get that. But in the context of video games, spider-man games have been hit and miss, and this current one isn't part of a previous franchise. It's Insomniac doing their own take on it, which is fantastic. But I don't typically think of super-hero games being ridiculously popular in the vain of something like Zelda, Pokemon, or Halo. I might be attributing my own lack of enthusiasm for marvel and dc games, but I don't think of people getting as excited for them. Though i realize this upcoming spider-man game looks really good. But I see it as a stand-alone entry in the spider-man universe, which isn't comparable to other big franchises, if that makes sense. Marvel Games approached Sony Interactive Entertainment wanting them to publish a Marvel game and to treat the game like a first party SIE title (taken from Wikipedia lol). So this spider-man game would be the beginning of a new franchise rather than a sequel to an already established franchise.
Same here. I only go to Sony topics and people all talk about TloU and HZD, but not a single word about Gears or Halo.
No. What sounds silly (and a bit hypocritical) is how the gaming community will call out Halo, Gears and Forza - games that are (seriously) talked about and played for years, but no one calls out others like the ones you mentioned here. Even still, none of your mentioned games have the same notoriety that Halo, Gears and Forza have when it comes to being downplayed by a vast majority of gamers. And their some of the very best in MP.
Tanslation: id never buy an xbox anyway. Let us see the receipts when you actually purchase the game from the windows store.
I saw a lot of those previews. The amount of things some of these sites got just blatantly wrong is mind boggling.
I just read it. He has some legitimate concerns for what he wants out of the game.
That's what I want. And with all the things I mentioned in my post above, I'm perfectly happy with all the additions that they've made. If he was playing the same build that all the other sites did, they were starting out mid to mid-late game with an already established base, their provisions were well stocked, and their characters were plentiful and quite leveled. A lot of the fun I have in the first one is getting to that point in the first place.
