Looking at Microsoft’s line-up for this year it’s true they do have an impressive amount of games coming out and I think a lot of them look good, but I also think it’s true to say none of them are probably going to be big sellers, on PlayStation or Xbox.
Halo and Gears have slipped off a lot nowadays, to the point where they’re barely draws any more, but I think Microsoft has made a mistake not ensuring there’s a steady supply of new Forza games, like there used to be.
I have no interest in Rainbow Six Siege, but it is very impressive to me that a game could potentially last 20 years or more and still be popular enough that a sequel isn’t deemed necessary.
I’m sure Nintendo will mess up this ‘open goal’ somehow, since they’re usually at their best when recovering from a failure, but I still think this is going to be an exciting year for games.
If you’re paying £30,000 for a Switch 2 I don’t know what to say, but I’m pretty sure that trying to sell it to peripheral makers so they know what size case to make is not going to be a very successful get rich quick plan.
