Microsoft holiday-ish season vs Sony holiday-ish season

I've been recently thinking about the most important part of the year, gaming- and business-wise, which is of course the holiday season.

Come to think of it, Microsoft has at least 5 big hitters for that season alone (sequence is not chronological), starting from September (I guess?):

Halo 5: Guardans

Rise of the Tomb Raider

Forza 6

Crackdown

Scalebound

Just imagine if all of them scored AA-AAA

and then there's Fable Legends, which, given its cross-platform nature might also become very popular.

Now please do tell me it's a shit lineup.

And yes, Crackdown and Scalebound - as of now - are slated to come out in 2015, so there's no reason not to consider them here unless there are some further developments. There still might be more to come, but in this light, do you find it weird that Phil Spencer said some games might be postponed because their 2015 holiday schedule is too crammed?

Now, may I ask - what does Sony have to counter it? And I'm not really talking about Japanese games catered towards only Japanese audiences. Or indies. And before attempting to discredit any of these games on whatever grounds, just come up with one holiday 2015 Sony exclusive AAA title.

Get ready dude...........

>I'm not talking about some niche japanese games
>lists Scalebound

Anyway, Tomb Raider is more than enough for me.

PlatinumGames caters games for the whole world, not just Japan. Get real, dude. So what? It's a new IP, but come on...PlatinumGames, dude.

Not really interested in any of those. Has Crackdown even been shown yet?

Platinum games are niche as ****. If it catered to the whole world, they wouldn't sell like shit.

Setting up some parameters to exclude PS games, and then list something like Scalebound, which we haven't seen a thing about except for a teaser, is incredibly ironic.

Just a teaser. That's it.

Both scalebound and crackdown have only shown cgi trailers. Hope to see more at E3. Would be nice if they come out this year.

Ok, so this is the usual thing of padding lists with games that have barely been shown then =p

That's still fucking more than what Sony had shown thus far

xD

Anyway, for now they're slated for 2015 unless they change it later on.

Yeup.

Don't fucking derail this thread, liberty maniac, I'm open to listen if PS4 has any games slated for holiday 2015 so far.

MS seem to play what cards they have close to their chest. E3 is where we'll see what is coming for sure the second half of the year.

Look it up yourself. You're the one making the thread, doing the comparison. Not my problem you choose to exclude PS titles by putting in bullshit exclusion rules like that.

Oh yes, because Halo 5, Forza 6, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Fable Legends are fucking INCORPOREAL PHANTOMS. So, yeah, 2 games out of 6 have been barely shown, but somehow 2/6 = MAJORITY.

I LOVE SYSTEM WARS LOGIC.

The fact that no one can come up with a game on PS4, even with those exclusions is pretty sad.

Guess its more indies for the indie station.

Yet again, Nintendo comes out on top.

You seem to be getting quite worked up. If it makes you feel better we also haven't seen much on Forza 6, so that makes 3/6.

No dude you did..............I mean that's fuckin Destro bro...........

Destro is up there with Darth Vader. Not quite, but the design is a step above most.

Scalebound and Crackdown are not coming out this year.

I do like it when lems justify not getting games ten months of the year.

Think that free Drive Club is coming same day as Forza Furious 7 free game?

Man, aside from Bloodborne and Zelda I'm really only looking forward to multiplats this year. Not even sure what PS4s holiday lineup is looking like.

Licensed DLC will save the Shitbox Done. :]

Really really can't see crackdown or scalebound being titles this year, but who know i guess.

Halo Guardians alone shits on anything Sony has now that they've delayed Uncharted 4 LOL.

Forza 6 will be another great one.

I can see MS announcing a game or 2 at E3 that will release this holiday - maybe something from Rare - they've done that a lot in the past.

I doubt Scalebound and Crackdown are 2015, don't see that happening cause there's no room for them this holiday for MS. But after Bloodborne what's the next big game coming out for the PS4 and how's the Playstation holiday lineup looking?

every asshole gamer who hated on xbox one is gonna need a xb1 this christmas

thats a fact

just look at those games they dont run on ur pc

they dont run on ur ps4

they dont run on 360

so yeah i already threw my 360 out my window im not using that crap anuymore im not using my ps3 anymore

old crap UI's old crap games

im into next gen brah look at all these games i get

@Salt_The_Fries: I imagine Sony has games people that choose the PS4 want. Had they wanted those games you listed then they'd probably have an X1 don't you think? In short.....not everyone likes those games you listed.

Heh, didn't realize Scalebound and Crackdown were coming holiday 2015! There's no way PS4 will compete with that many exclusives on Xbox. I love me some Ratchet and Clank and I'm guessing Persona 5 will be an August/September release but man, Xbox has this holiday 4 sho.

However, your cornflakes, Sony piss in them?

I doubt crackdown and Scalebound come out this year. Either way, MS and Sony need to have a big E3 that doesn't include just CGI trailers.

Ratchet and Clank full remake, Until Dawn, Tearaway Unfolded, Dragon Quest Heroes and Disgaea 5 and that's just the full exclusives.

Love it when lemmings scream about November like it's the last straw they have. Start being more concerned with what's out before then.

After the success that was Ori and the B.Forest I'm sure there will be a heyday for some more goodness!!

lol another of these threads with a "but it can't be this type of game that the PS4 has" exclusion and with TC getting defensive about padding his own list

Fucking hell, that's what PS fans did all last gen to discount the piles of 360/PC games :P

Which you won't know until the announcements come. Overall and while I haven't found much to play on either console.....Sony does a better job of providing games year round. MS not so much...they count on the holidays to push sales.

Because I'm sure a random weeaboo game that only 5 System Warriors would know would set a world on fire with regards to sales. Right? Another knee-jerk reaction by a brainiac. Nothing new.

Keep telling yourself that while you wait for the inevitable "2016" popping up a lot at the MS E3 conference.

Nintendo too.

- Drawn to Death

- No Man's Sky (timed exclusive)

- Ratchet & Clank reboot

- Tearaway: Unfolded

- The Tomorrow Children

- Until Dawn

Might be more at E3 but that's it for now if we're not counting Japanese or indie titles. But let's be honest, a game like Scalebound for example might as well not make the list since it's going to sell like crap (most of Platinum Games titles do; not saying they're bad, they're awesome but they just they don't sell).

But yeah. I'm not going to deny for a second that at the moment, Microsoft's lineup kicks the crap out of Sony's (despite the fact that I still plan to purchase those Sony titles I listed).

Oh look you're salty over the PS4 again.

Also I thought Xbox fanboys didn't care about sales, only games.

Crackdown is under wraps until E3. Looks like playable builds are locked and loaded. Not final, but looks close enough to make this Holiday. Could also just be a backwards compat demo too. hmm.

Shit, I can come up with any without exclusions. No AA-AAA at least.

Just think, Gears news is circulating like crazy, whether it is a remaster collection or Gears 4. Something Gears is coming and don't forget about all the other E3 announcements followed by "available this Holiday 2015".

But why should I be salty over PS4 when it has a drought of games for 2015, unless E3 miraculously turns it around?

Maybe Sony will re-remaster TLOU again with some more foliage and surprise everyone with a Dec. 30th release day.

I don't care about sales per se, I care about relevancy that games exclusive to respective platforms bring to the table. Way to misunderstand me, bro. But it seems like you were fixated on misunderstanding me in the first place. It happens, when you let this place become not a vehicle for debate but an excuse for merely spitting vitriol around.

CGI E3 trailers, but that's the same for scalebound so

Microsoft already confirmed there's no Gears of War Collection in development currently. But they said they have other "projects" in development.

When hyping an unannounced fanboy pipedream goes wrong.

Tomb Raider isn't exclusive, Fable isn't exclusive, Halo and Forza will come to pc. There are loads of first party projects that haven't been announced yet for PS4, wait and see
