The thing about games like COD MW2 that bugs me is most people don't buy it for the rave reviews they don't even buy it for the great graphics or storyline (hell since they sell so much on day of release you have no idea if the story-lines gonna be good). They buy for 1 main reason because they know fine well their friend is gonna buy it it's a rule of thumb if you stick with a series like Call Of Duty or Halo you know when you buy it there is a good chance your friends are gonna buy it.
We are in a new world where we have a lot of online friends now and it's hard to go around and ask which games each one are planning on buying over the next few months so you gotta stick with the most famous method and COD MW2 is exactly that. No matter how good this game was gonna be (it could have been the worst FPS this gen) it would have still sold 7 million on it's first day. People buy it for the simple reason they KNOW it's the game everybody else gonna be playing over the next few months and you don't wanna be sat on a server with next to no players trying to find enough to start a game do you?
This is also why games like Uncharted never sold aswell as COD as this is the first instalment with an online mode. If you need more proof of this theory look at all the huge sellers on 360 and PS3 they all have online multiplayer. From your FPS to your football games. It's called safe buying if you love the multi-player experience the new generation of consoles has given us.
The last gen had online multiplayer but never really took advantage of it enough for it to be a major benefactor for buying a game but we live in a new age of gaming and unfortunately multiplayer sells. That's how COD MW2 can get away with a crappy campaign mode the online multi-player is the selling point.
Playstation sales right now are gonna be lower also for this as Playstation gamers are still not as used to the online gaming experience as 360 owners as it wasn't THE main feature when launched. Now it is however people are starting to change but of course it will take time.
Microsoft will allegedly shadow drop a major first party title & reveal a teaser for the Xbox handheld at the upcoming Xbox Showcase event.
I have a Steam deck and I can wait until the Switch 2 is out for a consolized experience.
Well if they shadow drop and it’s good that’ll be another studio closure, and this is coming from an Xbox guy so I’m not trolling.
It's 'Tower-borne', and it's not a big AAA game, its, well, take a look: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
It's quite possibly a "lost in translation" thing, but theyre (Stoic Studio) not 1st party. Although yeah, likely.
you are correct actually, towerborne is exclusive to xbox (I think), but yeh not 1st party, i'm scratching my head now, which other other their games would be ready to go in 7 days time.`>?
literally have no idea
