Xbox One's Holiday 2015 Slate Is So Stuffed That Microsoft May Need to Delay Something

The lineup of games coming to Xbox One in fall 2015 is so deep that Microsoft may need to shift some titles to 2016 so the games that are released during next year's holiday season have a chance to breathe. That's according to Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, who spoke about the congested release slate recently.

"Looking at production schedules and how things are lining up, next fall is just crazy," Spencer said during the latest Major Nelson Radio podcast (via VideoGamer).

"I mean, this fall from a first-party/third-party standpoint is great. Next fall, I don't... Honestly it's not hype at all, I honestly don't know that we can actually ship all the stuff that thinks it's trying to ship next fall," he added. "It just might be too crowded and we might purposely try to move some things out to spread it. You have to [give them some breathing room], you have to do that."

On top of those games, Spencer teased previously that Microsoft is working on a new IP that will "push the boundaries."

Also during the podcast, Spencer said games can thrive in release windows other than holiday. February/March and May can be successful months, he said, citing examples such as Red Dead Redemption (May 2010) and various God of War games.

"It's nice as an industry that we don't all have to get on top of each [other], just clobber ourselves and compete against one other, because there are enough hours in the year for a gamer to go play great games, but people want to play the things that are current," Spencer said.

"And I think as publishers and first-parties have success at multiple points of the year it's just a good thing for us," he added. "Because having three/four great games ship all in the same week at the end of October, while maybe on some forecast somewhere it feels like that's the right thing to do, just as an industry I think it's much more healthy if we have more beats throughout the year where people can ship great games."

well look at that...another year of steady releases for Xbox owners it seems. this console/company is really trying to deliver in the game department it seems. Phil Spencer has been a Godsend, he really seems to have the goal of making Xbox owners some of the most satisfied gamers on the planet........while Sony and the ps4 owners only have games that were delayed this year to look forward to next year, sucks for them...

Cant agree with him more. Especially the quote about same week at the end of October. Spread it out. And looking forward to any news on the new IPs.

FIrst things first, how brave you are @tymeservesfatefor sporting a 76er's logo.

Second: Sounds good, I guess.

Because they had nothing for the first 6 months basically but multiplatforms much like this year,when they just got Titanfall from January to what July.?

The PS4 got MLB,TLOU,Infamous,Final Fantasy and Tower Fall all from March to July,the xbox one just Titanfall,5 games vs 1 it wasn't even close and lemming still believe the PS4 had no games..hahaha

Now from August to December they get DC,Samurai Warriors,velocity 2X and soon LBP3 but some how the PS4 has no games...hahaha

Never have i see such an on denial user base,is like they really try to carry the whole PS3 has no games crap into the PS4,when Metacritics and sites actually show like 60 games more on PS4 than on xbox one..

Next year will be very sad for lemming on the first 6 months.

@tormentos: You write a lot, but your entire post has nothing to do with the thread. Its about next year's line up. Not what happened early this year.

I'm going to assume Halo 5 won't be affected.

I am looking forward to the next E3.

@tormentos Wtf are you blabbing on about? lol

Anyways....this is good news. MS is about games games games and it's showing.

Sucks to be a cow these days.

I dont get why people continue to say the PS4 has no games.....

Those discs I buy for my PS4 what are those?

Granted the XB1 did have the better year exclusively but not by much.

So...how come we don't have a release date of at least 1 of those big amazing games from that stuffed line up of MS's?

Sounds like BS to me. Sony's line up is so stuffed they are releasing 2 big NEW IP's in the same damn month at the beginning of the year. MS talking the talk while Sony walking the walk.

Seriously did everyone miss this:

"shift some titles to 2016 so the games that are released during next year's holiday season"

The words that stick out to me are "holiday season". LMAO Sounds like MS is STILL focused on spamming all their games at the ass end of the year for holiday sales revenue.

I am glad that Sony has enough games being made that they don't need to "save" games from one year's line up just to wait to put them at the ass end of the next next years line up.

Microsoft doesn't know what more bs to invent and lems just love that fake pr bs.

Are they aware that there are more than 3 months in a year?

Ps4 has no good games,it has a crap library is what people are getting at Cows...such a boring console.

Delaybox One.

Sad but no, but it's ok since lemmings don't seem to realize this either.

I will enjoy trying out new IP's at the very beginning of next year, plus all the best versions of multiplats available on console while getting a continuous stream of quality exclusive games throughout the year.

lol @ lems and their 3 month "holiday season" victory dance. Seems nothing has changed in MS land.

Do we need a release date this far in advance? no we do not.

And the only reason TheCorridor1886 is releasing in February is because it was delayed. Can't wait for that one to flop, will be a fun couple of days in SW.

According to cows, 2015 was supposed to be theirs. (Going off of myth and legend).

Phil Spencer has already gone on record that he is working on Holiday of next year.

Cows will have a shitty 2015 for games confirmed.

LOL...i understand where ur coming from with ur first point but...

....i'm not worried about them. these guys and an early pick in next years draft...future looks bright ;]

I wish the industry as a whole would spread out its games more instead of releasing most AAA titles in the Fall.

Really?

The XBone is just overflowing with games in 2015?

Like what? The umpteenth installments of Halo and Gears?

Lems cling to Halo, Gears and Forza like shit to velcro.

Because they had nothing for the first 6 months basically but multiplatforms much like this year,when they just got Titanfall from January to what July.?

First line of my post.

That the xbox one has no games basically for the first half on 2015.. Please post a list if you have one..lol

Since you want to play by that shit lets play..

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps4-2014-games-release-list/1100-6418569/

The xbox one on your list has 5 games since January 1 to September 23,just 5 freaking games not on PS4 the rest are also on PS4.

The PS4 has 22 fu**ing games on bold from January 1 to September 23...

That mean the PS4 gave the xbox one an incredible ass whoop of 4+ games to 1 the xbox one was getting,the PS4 got 4+ games dude for every single game on XBO but not on PS4..

Dude 22 freaking games vs 5 is a disaster...

Thanks dude that list just help me prove why the ps4 was spanking the xbox one sales wise,more games are more games period 22 vs 5 in the same time frame is not even close.

Hell in total until November 18 the xbox one has 11 games not on PS4,still that is half the games the PS4 has get up until september 23,if i go to the same date to the xbo is the quantity rise to 25 games for the PS4 and taht doesn't include Velocity 2X which is listed as TBA..

Now lets hear your excuse and downplay but but but Indies,save it indies are also counted on those 5,and even Kinect shovel ware a game is a game.

You should probably go to the hospital. You are making less sense than you normally do and may be having a stroke.

Yeah, there's Halo, but also Quantum Break, Scalebound, Crackdown 3, Fable Legends, Phantom Dust, and a few others.

Also, I'm not sure if shit clings to velcro.

No i didn't jump shit my post is there i claimed the xbox one has more games on late 2015 because it basically has non on the first half of 2015 just like this year the PS4 has 20 from January to july not on xbox one,the XBO has 5 by your list is not even close.

So my argument still stand the xbox one had pretty much nothing backed up by this own site,from those games the majority were on PS4 and in superior form to..lol only 5 games vs 20 says it all...

Delaystation 4 suckers....Indies/Multiplats Await.

but yea, cows are going crazy in here with Halo-Gears-Forza nonsense again lol. which are all good games by the way. but MS seems to have more being developed as we speak. they just havent been announced yet.

besides, the article said delayed, NOT Phil. Phil Spencer said "move things out, to spread it". which could mean move them back, OR forward. he also said directly that:

"And I think as publishers and first-parties have success at multiple points of the year"

-

"just as an industry I think it's much more healthy if we have more beats THROUGHOUT the year where people can ship great games."

so i don't see the gripe...he never said he was going to delay games only. in fact he talked more about releasing them during the year instead of trying to force them into holiday releases. so i have no idea where cows are getting that they're trying to force all the games into fall, or delay them. he said exactly the opposite. the article said delay, not Phil Spencer.

Assuming next fall is Halo and Uncharted, it would be stupid for either to launch any other shooter games. Whether that's Gears or a new IP doesn't really matter.

There is always room for RPG, adventure, or platformer type game though. Those genres don't have to worry quite as much about going "head to head" vs. Halo or Call of Duty.

@tormentos: there are so many things wrong in your logic it hurts. Did you just list, towerfall (ouya), the show (vita), tlou (ps3)... Where exactly are these games that sell ps4s?

@Animal-Mother: I wouldn't say it has no games, but it doesn't have a single must have game unique to the console by any stretch. Same goes with xone.

lolouya. Towerfall is also on steam.

@TheEroica: Hey if it plays multiplats better than the competition like the 360 did that's enough for me. I don't know why we all sit here with our panties in a bunch, the killer apps will be coming./

28 Exclusives and New IP's coming for the XBox One in 2015. Stay thirsty my friends.

I don't find this very credible.
It's a nice sales pitch before xmas.

bro, please. ps4 has no good games. MLB is fine and all IF you're a baseball fan. And that game has such horrible online lag that I stopped buying it on ps3. a shitty final fantasy spinoff? lol.

Titanfall, a solid 8-9 rated game shits on the entire ps4 catalogue. Sunset overdrive, destroys anything on ps4. halo MCC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>TLOU

Quantum Break will be the envy of all ps4 owners. Even dead rising 3 as mediocre as it may be shits on anything on ps4.

In Phil I trust baby.......................... Can't wait to play the new Crackdown.

Halo 5 next year.

Ori and the blind forest.

Quantum Break another new IP that will be a hit like SO.

Thanks MSoft for being the Gen 8 leader in actually gaming!

You go boy.......................

@Desmonic: I just mean an actually game that it can lean on as a poster child for its gen 8 identity... You know! A killer exclusive.

In terms of actual sales though, yeah it's selling like mama's hotcakes.

I still say 80 million wins are working as average door stops at the moment, while the hottest selling game of the year (cod most likely) just dropped on ps3 and 360... The wii is an anomaly?

I'll wait and see, before I believe it, but if true then that's pretty damn sweet.

So what he is saying is that many games aren't going to meet their release date so they are going to use the excuse that there are too many games and some of them will have to be moved to accommodate others.

What a crock of shit. No doubt dumb lems will eat this news up, now that they have a legitimate excuse for game delays.

Sucks to be a lem this generation, that 900p/30fps and no games^^

That's strange, lemmings seem to have lots of games to play. And isn't Forza 5 the only 1080p/60fps game on either console?

multiplats.

Xbox One; the best place to play

who said anything about delay's ? where the **** did gamespot get this from ?
