Ever wonder why Microsoft captures exclusive rights to 3rd party games instead of creating 1st party games? I'll tell you why!!

If Microsoft creates a first party game for let's say, $20 million there is a CHANCE it can make its money back and sell systems. +1 Microsoft

BUT if Microsoft buys exlcuive rights to DLC for lets say Call of Duty (an already popular game), it's +1 for Microsoft and -1 for Sony. Making Xbox look twice as worthy than PlayStation. Also, Micrsoft causes a chain reaction, if one person buys Call of Duty for their system then others will buy Call of Duty on Xbox to play with their friend. The more friends that buy COD on Xbox the more xboxes Microsoft sells and more Money Microsoft makes. ++1 for Microsoft. Of course there are ways for Sony to counter this in different ways BUT it is more profitable to work with what you have than to create new games from scratch and hope they're good. Discuss

Edit: This is why Xbox is more popular in english speaking countries, these are the places with more internet playing i think

Because Microsoft totatlly destroyed Sony's Ps3 last gen!...wait....

LMFAO how dilluded can anyone be?

How is he deluded? Everybody knows that MS is on top in the U.S. and the U.K. and those two countries are the only English speaking countries in the entire world. Nope, no other country besides those two speak English.

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Playstation has exclusive content for AC4, Watch Dogs, Destiny though, all the multiplats are shown on PS4 only, GTA V is advertised for PS3 only.

But lets worry about Sony not getting timed exclusive dlc for a franchise that is losing popularity.

Ah yes another deluded fanboy. Xbox is getting owned in the UK and Xbone180 aint doing so well in US or UK compared to PS4

Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.

I hope he realizes that if MS wants to buy something then there needs to be a seller. How willing would big publishers be to not sell on the system with the bigger install base?
