Wouldn't make sense for MS financially. They're better off using that money to create more exclusives in-house than trying to buy 3rd party exclusives, especially a series like RE that's already in decline. RE is not going to move consoles for MS in Japan, despite what people in the West may think. Gamers in Japan are already moving away from console gaming. And most of those remaining will only buy one console. MS is at a disadvantage to begin with in Japan. One big exclusive on the XB1 is not going to sway a significant number of gamers to jump ship from Nintendo or Sony, when both of those consoles will offer an extensive library of Japanese-centric games that Microsoft just cannot match.

impossible o.O

Meh the last few Resident Evils have been terrible anyway. All action no scares.

"War ends now" sounds like its going to be an FPS this time.

After average RE5 and awful RE6 I dont care about the series. If it goes Xbox One exclusive then its great for Xbox One. But this will definitely kill the series.

if it was only on x1 . x1 will still not sell well in japan

lol Troll news. Capcom is already struggling financially and releasing it exclusively on the Xbox 1 would end Capcom.

Dont you know Ms can buy the comp 100 times over.

Id be cool if they paid for the exclusivity. X1 needs games specific for it. 

Precisely. Resident Evil 7 will be Xb one exclusive. Biohazard 7, on the other hand, will be multiplatform.

Some questions regarding your statement:

Seriously?

How did they become rich? By writing cheques?

Who in this industry actually has business sense then? Nintendo or Sony?
Did you know that Xbox 360 / Xbox One / Surface hardware (not even including first party software) reported a 470 million USD profit last Q compared to 170 million for PS3 / PS4 and PS Vita (including first party software)?
