Obviously not EA or Activision but could we see Bone versions of games such as Metal Gear Solid V, Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III get cancelled if it continues to bomb as hard as it is?

Ground Zeroes sales were abysmal on Xbone and sold over 70% of its total sales on PS4.

Does it really make sense for 3rd parties to waste resources on it if their games are not going to sell well for it? Especially when you consider they have to go out of their way to get their games to run on it and barely any of them can hit 1080p (Wolfenstein and sports games being the only ones).

The only 3rd party games that seem to sell on Bone so far are COD and Lego which tells me the core has moved on to the PS4.

Yeah, I dont see 3rd party dropping the xbone. PS4 will have the better version of most mulit plats though.

I doubt that. Even if the games sell less on the X1 it's still a viable console for their games. It doesn't increase cost to put it on the console to any extent and the sales are income.

XB1 is currently tracking better than 360 and will be one of the highest selling console of all time if things continue. PS4's massive success does not make xb1 a failure.

Wouldn't count on that. MS has their two biggest guns within the next two years, on top of a ton of games and features. 4+ million Xbox Ones and 7+ million PS4's are a world away from the 80+ million 360's and PS3's in the world. No way MS loses any third party support anytime soon. Not with their money, the short time next gen has been around, and just the fact that game devs want to make as much money as possible. So if one console has 30 million and the other has 18 million they'd rather sell to 48 million gamers than 30 or 18 alone. MS will have excellent third party support.

Developer - I'm not making a game for Xbox One

Microsoft - how much to buy you out?

Developer - I'm not making a game for PS4

Sony - Please make the game for PS4, we haven't got any money to give you but we need it to survive.

It's a shame there are cows in these forums that are this daft. X1 is selling better than the 360 did and while second to the ps4, it is still one of the fastest selling consoles yet.

M$ is looking to spin the brand off. They might have loaded pockets but not to waste on the failed Xbox brand anymore.
