Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox One Exec: We Are Bullish About The Exclusive Lineup This Year, Can’t Get Any Better Than This

- Xbox boss of India, Anshu Mor was asked by GamingBolt if the upcoming exclusive games for Xbone would help the console catch on the PS4 for which he answered:

“Obviously. In this industry every year when games are launched everybody says this is a great line up of games, but I personally know the category in the industry very well. This is really the greatest line up that could possibly happen,”

“All the big franchises that we have are launching this year and it’s phenomenal from that perspective, right? To get a Gears of War, a Halo, a Forza and a Tomb Raider all in half a year, it’s not even a year, is just absolutely fantastic."

- Anshu made emphasis on the diversity of games in line up this year:

“There are three components involved in this and explains why we are superbly bullish about this right now. One is the greatest line up of games and it’s all about every genres coming together in a single year. It can’t get better for a console gamer on Xbox this year.”


- He talks about how backwards compatibility in Xbone gives consumers what they want:

“The second is bringing these Xbox 360 games back to the Xbox One platform with the backwards compatibility feature. It’s such a delight to consumers that all the investments they have made in the previous platform will be utilized and they will be able to play those games. So the portfolio increases and then am sure you must have heard about Windows 10’s games integration with Xbox One. There are a lot of cool features like streaming a game from your Xbox One to Windows 10 but that aside just think about what we are going to do with the community that will bring together PC and Xbox One players. Really, it can’t get any better than this, I don’t know whether there is anything else that would make it better.”


Do you agree with Anshu Mor?


Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

To be fair, if it was a new Gears I'd be more inclined to agree, but a remake/remaster isn't on the same level in my opinion.

That being said, it is a really good lineup. I think a new IP or a revival of an old franchise would really spice it up, though.

Is he really saying they are getting a Gears of War game? That's stretching it a lot. Also he says "All in half a year, it isn't even a year." Which is both true and not true. It's true that they are all launching within a half year period, but it's also what the XBO has in terms of retail exclusives this whole year, afaik.

I think saying it can't get any better is really hyperbolic, but each to their own. I could easily see plenty of ways to have a better Xbox exclusive lineup (of course only using Xbox franchises.)



Well that sucks for them I guess.



can't get any better?
That's a shame.

Well, if it can't get any better, then they are screwed.



I'm fine with being positive, but I hate blatant hyperbole. Yeah, it can actually get a lot better. Doesn't mean it's bad, but I guess I'm a fairly literal guy, so statements like this just sound stupid to me.



I'd say 2016 looks way better than 2015.



All of that in half a year? Woah It sounds like a regular line up for a full year. Oh they haven't released anything this year so far? Oh never mind then ;)
