Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.
Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.
I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins.

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.

Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
The details for multiple future Call Of Duty games appear to have leaked, including a follow-up to Advanced Warfare.
Does this mean that next week, the top pre-ordered title will be Watch Dogs?
So I guess COD pro-orders for XBO surpassed PS4.
Just crunched the some numbers in case anyone is interested. If the VGChartz data is correct, that's 1,533,310 launch games currently pre-ordered for the Xbox One.
Xbox One exclusives (Forza, Ryse, DR3) account for 423,584 of those games, or 28%. It's worth noting that Killer Instinct and some other exclusives are not on the list.
It should be interesting to see how the final sales numbers are affected by all of the incoming reviews this week.
So sick of cod I reckon dr3 deserves top spot more
Xbox One is catching up
