Come on you have to admit it's pretty fcking ridiculous of M$...this would be the 4th release in the franchise when the console has only been out for almost 3 years. that's pretty fucking ridiculous, and it reinforces that HALOFORZAGEARS complaint people keep talking about. Dear Microsoft, make something different. Geez!

I think it's the perfect time. It is a week away.

Come on, you're clearly reaching. If sony had carried over huge successful PS2 franchises and just focused on those, they would have had it made with the PS3. If they had just released SOCOM,GOW, and Gran Tourismo every year and then constantly advertised multiplats like AC, CoD, NFS, and more in ways that suggested they were PS3 exclusives, they also would've gotten away with it. M$ continued to insult the intelligence of gamers and got away with it for almost a decade until people finally said enough. Also, aside from the fact that MS shot themselves in the foot, Sony on their own part alone did their homework and they learned and created a solid gaming system, so yes we're still waiting for games but I'd rather wait than be forced to play GEARSHALOFORZA again and again for another decade. How quickly was TFall forgotten after its release? AC and CoD sales are plumeting and the only taste of salvation M$ has had in a while is Halo5. What does that tell you? How many times were they warned last gen? How many times did people point out the fact that they're constantly making the same games and milking the same brodude/casual gamers demographic? How many times did people warn that this will eventually happen? The answer is a lot. You have an entire console and an entire decade dedicated to releasing the same damn games every time throughout last gen. It shouldn't have been called the Xbox 360. It should've been called the HALOFORZAGEARS BOX. Also, how are you saying sony is moneygrubbing? When the 360 first came out how many external components did gamers had to buy just to use it? People were paying extra for ethernet adapters and batteries, and also XBL, while the PS3 was struggling to establish itself, MS saw the poor state the PS3 was in and figured they could do whatever the hell they wanted and get away with it, so they took the wallets of gamers and milked them for all they're worth. You don't get to call Sony moneygrubbers. There's a reason people abbreviate microsoft with M$. Compared to M$ Sony were definitely not moneygrubbers. MS turned the gaming industry, something that was for a core audience, and monopolized it, cheapened it, and demoralized it. Bungie left for a reason. They were absolutely wreckless and don't deserve to be in gaming. How many times was this XB1/PC crossplatform predicted? How many times were xbox fans warned even in other forums that I used to parttake in that MS will eventually bring all XB exclusive to PC, which means PCfans and xbox fans will become merged and Xbox fans won't have any exlvuisves. You've seen how PC gamers are, they will deny Xbox fans and hang them out to dry. Microsoft only cares about money and they're blatant about it. If it's not going to sell or if it involves any risk, it's just not going to happen with them. Sony, on the other hand, dug deep, and continued to try despite when they failed with Lair, and with many other games. You don't get to call them money grubbers. Like I said, people reveal their true colors when things are really good and when things are really bad. Sony maintained humility both when things were bad and when they became good. Microsoft on the other hand, were greedy and negligent.

I'm sorry but I disagree with you on the part about sony "lucked the **** out"

How much shit and backlash and warnings of bankrupcy did they get last gen? Despite all of that they didn't give up and kept trying out new IPs. TLOU, WKC, HR, B2S, LBP, Lair, UC, Modnation, Haze, Infamous, Resistance, Warhawk, Starhawk...those were all new Ips/huge risks...not all of them succeeded but at least they tried. MS tried with Alan Wake and Lost Odyssey and maybe Banjo, and those games quickly vanished and were never heard from again, and then Xbox fans were trolled with HALOGEARSFORZA for almost a decade. So, no Sony did not luck out. They started over.. They learned from what went wrong with the PS4. They listened to Gamers. They allowed developers to develop a console that will enable them to give gamers what they want. They literally left it all up to the market and said, tell us what you want. They worked hand in hand with devs and they listened. They learned from their mistakes, M$' mistakes, and Nintendo's mistakes, all while MS were being greedy, cocky monopolists and Nintendo was still vampiring off nostalgic gamers. So, sorry but I completely disagree with the part about Luck. It all adds up, and referencing the DRM and outrageous announcements of 2013, no one appears to be surprised.

It's funny we were just dicsussing this in the other thread. Another Forza game. Yippee.

Who needs to invest in new IPs to bring new games to the platform?

Oh no, don't tell that to Xbox fans. They'll defend it to their death. It's hilarous how much Xbox fanbase from last gen hung M$ out to dry this gen. They made excuses for M$ throughout last gen, and then they weren't there to back M$ up when the XB1 launched. M$ still fails to learn and neither do the fanboys. They didn't shut up about Titan Fall and went on about it forever. Oh look, it's another HaloGearsCod hybrid. What's the point of a new IP if it's the exact same thing as the same games? So, the pattern is never going to stop. Lots of M$ future IPs will be FPSs and Forza games because that's what their fanbase wants. Look how much xbox ones Halo 5 alone sold.

Yeah, very good question. Crapcom is going to delay the game, build hype and anticipation and then there's a huge let down

Well, this thread has done a great job relaying how system warriors really feel about Microsoft

In order to even compete remotely with XBL they had to charge. I remember lots of gamers saying they're fine with paying for it as long as its good

I'd love to see Google enter the console market. But, hopefully they don't come in with too much confidence and think they can do whatever they want ike MS did
