It's sad news for Xbox fans and gamers in general. We live in a time when new IPs are disappearing left and right. The first Xbox by contrast was full of incredible new ideas and risky concepts that made for a really unique console experience. The original Xbox was like a spiritual successor to the Dreamcast, and IMO doesn't get nearly enough respect that it deserves for how good it was at catering to hardcore gamers. I love owning a PS4, but I do miss the days when having a Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft console actually meant that you were getting three very unique libraries. Funny thing is, I can't even understand why people engage in console wars today. At least there were enough differences back then to warrant some type of argument for or against those systems.

  • This was my dream game. No joke. For years I wanted an RPG game WITH CO-OP and you had a dragon as a FULL TIME ALLY! But no, Microsoft can just crush my hopes and dreams. I doubt any game like this will ever be made again. Thanks Microsoft for ruining something I've wanted for so long.

  • Platinum Games can crush your dreams* Complain to them about not being able to finish the game.

  • Yeah... But still You have to blame someone, so why not the greedy company?

  • Because they aren't to blame? That's probably the stupidest reasoning I've heard for blaming MS yet.

  • No... Microsoft has cancelled so many game the past few years and its getting annoying. Sony is definitely better than Xbox.

    Microsoft cancels games when they can't be finished, like every other publisher. The only other recent one was Fable and that was going through serious development issues too. Sony can't be compared to Xbox because Xbox is a subbrand of Microsoft. If you compare Sony to Microsoft, like you should, you would find that Sony is way less profitable than Microsoft. Sony is ~40% PlayStation whereas Microsoft is only about 10% Xbox (if not less). If PlayStation fails, Sony fails (effectively). They can't cancel games because they have so little coming out each year on average. Microsoft doesn't need Xbox, to be frank. Do they want it? Absolutely. If Xbox ever becomes even close to unprofitable, Microsoft will shut them down (don't expect this to be any time remotely soon). Sony will hold on to PlayStation for as long as they possibly can because it is their last lifeline (also not remotely soon). These are just facts.

  • Those are not even close to facts there bud. Let's see your sources for them if you want to cling onto the delusion that they're facts.

  • You want me to get Microsoft's recent stock history and show you? This is the easiest information to find. Microsoft's stock is higher than ever and their revenue from Windows is exponentially more than Xbox. Or are you talking about how all other Sony products have been doing poorly except the Ps4? Also easy information to find.

    Post your sources then. You say that PS4 is 40% of Sony and they would fail without it. Prove it. You also foolishly state that the PS4 is Sony's last lifeline. All of your comments prove you don't really know what you're talking about.

    I will admit there was a bit of exaggerating there. Sony would not go under and fail without PlayStation but it is their most successful product right now. The 40% was a rough estimation. Go look at Sony's revenue and compare the PlayStation to their other products; you'll find it is something around 40%. Calm down a bit with the childish insults. We're just talking.

  • I've not insulted you at all in this conversation, just calling out the obvious load of bull crap.

  • So then why did you not """point out all the bull crap""" in that comment? All you did was write one, rather useless, sentence.

    Really, go back and look at the comment again if you still can't tell how I pointed it out. P.S. Your two commas in that reply were totally unnecessary.

  • You didn't point out anything that had anything to do with the topic. I thought that since it was extra text but still relevant it went in commas like that.

  • My god man... You were passing your opinions as facts and I pointed out that they weren't "facts". It's not difficult. [quote] All you did was write one, rather useless, sentence.[/quote] It should read: All you did was write one rather useless sentence. There was absolutely no need for the commas at all.

    So its my opinion that Xbox is not nearly as profitable as Microsoft's most profitable departments? And it's also my opinion that most of Sony's departments aren't doing well? I understand that now. It was a mistake.

  • Well if they're facts can I have some evidence? Because I'd like to be educated then...

  • I remember how everyone was like "The Playstation 4 has almost no IPs for its launch, look at XBox Ones variety!" And now... Playstation has one IP after the other and Microsoft cancels new IPs for their existing, which get less and less sales...

  • Both consoles go into exclsuive droughts. I would argue that PlayStation has been in more but that's besides the point.
