Did that come out in October? I don't think Nintendo had great expectations for that one.

Hopefully, this has taught Ubisoft to stop milking:

I wouldn't be surprised if Ubisoft wanted to have Watch Dogs rotate between Assassin's Creed.  Though I think the overall lesson for Ubisoft is that 1000 people working on a single title is a terrible idea.

2015 is a pretty weak year for first parties and exclusives in general imo, both Nintendo and Sony stopped caring more or less a couple months in and MS' "biggest lineup in Xbox history" can from a sales performance standpoint nearly be dubbed "the biggest embarrassment in Xbox history".

2016 will be a lot better for both Nintendo and Sony and at least significantly more interesting for MS.

I don't feel bad in the slightest. They deserve it for how they structure their franchises and developers

Agree
Halo studio-343
Gears Studio- The Coalition
Forza Studio- Turn10
Rare- The Kinect Studio(until 2016)
Then they make sure Tomb Raider is on the platform EU practically doesn't like(outside of them UK dudebros and EU hipsters).

Yeah, studios shouldn't have franchises assigned to them... And they should not be named after something in one franchise. What really brings quality is letting them flourish by allowing freedom to do what they want. If what they want is to work on one franchise... Fine, but don't force them to release a game every 1/2 years, let them take their time.

i didnt think AC syndicate would sell this bad honestly.

the series is in decline thats for sure, but i didnt expect such a huge drop.

story driven games can only be milked for so long, then people get tired.

Without pre-orders, that kinda seemed likely.
