Think about this, If Microsoft makes a deal with Take 2 or Rockstar Games and they agree to release the Game exclusively for Xbox 360 for 8 months, that would help xbox so much! a lot of ps3 owners will switch to xbox. I believe that Microsoft can afford this, if they are smart they should make a deal with Rockstar Games.  what do you think?



I trust no one, not even myself.

I think MS would be wiser to invest in first party studios. An exclusivity deal of two months this far into the console's lifespan would make very little no difference



2 months.. lololol.



2 Months would be somewhat pointless. A year would be worth while for them.

But something like that just wouldn't happen although if it did the meltdowns would be glorious.



Timed DLC is where they are gonna go obviously.



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

This just ridiculous, I'm having a hard time believing you think this would do anything.



           

Won't do much, just provide some entertainment on the internet and lower total sales of GTA5.
Even more funny would be Sony buying timed exclusivity of ME3.

There is no point this late in the cycle, does timed DLC even convince anyone?

Agreed inventing in first party studios would add alot more to the xbox than timed anything. They could really pump out some great games if they invested and the return would be nice. Timed exlusivity seems like a giant waste of money just to say you got something early. They would be paying alot of money for just 2 months early GTA5 and I mean ALOT.



They should make it PC exclusive.



No ... tbh they're better off buying Take Two ($1b~) if they're going to be in this for the long haul. Bioshock, Red Dead, GTA .. all make very good profit as they sell a crap ton, it'd be a better investment than what Rare ever was, and they wouldn't need to buy 3rd party exclusives (which they will begin to do again next generation)
