No amount of scoops will ever be enough(I should know, as I always want more ice cream).

Selling 30 Million and it still not meeting expectations is mind boggling.

Execs and their expectations

4 Likes

We have no idea how much it cost not to mention the cut the platform holders get. Also that is probably not the initial sales when it was said expectations weren’t met. The thing to me though is just how much leg the franchise has after its first year. I’d imagine that the Morden warfare has sold close to 50 million by now.

The budget for these games are enormous, I’m not surprised ABK was eager to sell itself to Microsoft.

Maybe it was from a former Square exec.

I’ll be surprised if it didn’t. That will be their Starfield moment.

Tom Warren on the Showcase:

I understand this is set to take place on Sunday, June 9th, and Microsoft is currently planning to announce a new Gears of War game at the show. A Gears announcement won’t be the only new Xbox game at the show, which will also include release dates for upcoming Xbox games like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Avowed, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and of course, a new Call of Duty that’s set to debut later this year.

All sounds good to me.

I got to say, it must be hard to choose who’s going in the showcase when you can actually show just yourself (Xbox first party) to take care of it. They’re that big.

Well, the thing is, I haven’t played Starfield since like December for the last time or so. There is actually a lot I still have to experience in that game. Maybe I go for something smaller first like Control or Alan Wake 2. It’s time to juggle some games again, I still have Doom Eternal in quick resume too.

Sounds like there won’t be much of a gaming break, hehe.

I’d agree on the Hogwarts Legacy recommendation - it was my number 1 game last year and one of my favourite ever.

It gets the whole “I want to be a wizard going to Hogwarts” vibe and runs with it, giving you freedom and really cool spells etc lol
