Yeah, but he was talking about how it was dismal at launch with little content. Now it's overflowing with content. It would be rated 10 points higher today no doubt if it MS would have released a $60 game with $60 of content.
Same with GT Sport. It was a pile of s*** at release with no content and rated as such. Today it's awesome with lots of content and a campaign added.
I know what he was saying. Although, from a launch perspective I think it’s not accurate to refer to it as a failure. 2 million players in the first week is hardly something to disregard.
