Just seems that way because BC is a boss feature. Last gen had stellar titles that still hold up well and there are many disenfranchised communities of gamers this gen that let go of their favorite games moving onto new hardware.

Blops for instance. Just as people love their Counterstrike or other staple MP, lots of people are happy to go back to Blops and the rekindled community BC opened up. Matchmaking was poppin' yesterday, had a nice run of games and it was as fun as always. I love that i can do hat on my XBO while hoping into QB or Halo 5 on a whim.

If you don't like the thread why you keep posting? It's not like you are giving a great contribution after all.

Everytime i see Cobalt on a list, i cant help but LOL

Talk about a list filler with that 67 Meta Rated game that lets be honest here, nobody cares.

Also, Sea of Thieves is the kind of game that appears on every list available when people are talking about Xbox One exclusives, but i see that game underperforming when it actually releases.

If the game actually underperforms, we will for sure see here how Sea of Thieves was never hyped, that nobody even talked about it, etc.

(Project Spark, im looking at you)

They do seem to be trying to make new games (perhaps even more than they did in the past) but there is also a lot of focus on backwards compatibility, which I don't really care for but it's great for those that do.

As far as Microsoft exclusives, I, for the most part, ignore news about them so I don't become hyped because so far, I've been disappointed almost every single time. I really don't expect that to change going forward, at least not for a few years.

Don't get me wrong though, I've immensely enjoyed my time on the Xbox One thus far and wouldn't change it for any other console (unless a certain set of events happened)

it's not just xbox,.. nadella seems to be refocusing microsoft as a whole to only focus on a few highly profitable things. bad for xbox, windows phone, surface but probably great for ms's stock holders.

define soon?

Cobalt = GOTY

If you say (which you said) that the situation of Microsoft this year is the same as Sony's of last year, yes. You are indeed lying.

Why would i be salty when i actually own a Xbox One. It would be silly for me to bet against the console when i opened my wallet and spent money buying the console.

Also, im not fighting any list war, the OP is clear enough and im obviously commenting in regards of the Original Post.

Finally, i think you are being too agressive towards me. Calm down a bit so we can continue this discussion in peace bro.

I'm not saying M$'s output is anywhere near Sony's but jeez! I see people saying games like Onechanbara Z (which i actually bought on day one despite being like a 29% on Metacritic at the time!) counts when comparing consoles or a port like Gravity Rush (which I also bought!) or an indie game like Resogun (which I got for free) is a system seller. Meanwhile games like Quantum Break aren't important because it didn't sell well or Cuphead is not retail and only retail games are important!

Maybe I'm not seeing the right threads but it seems like people want M$ to suck and the narrative will always switch to support it. I mean, get it. Ps4 is more powerful, sells better, has more games, had higher rated games, and has pretty much every advantage. You won ! No need to come at M$ like it's 7th gen, anymore.

Sea of Theives had been lauded since day one. People wanted Rare to make something different. You can't find a single "Sea of Thieves is going to be awesome" thread. It's still a game . It still exists. It still counts and hopefully, when it releases, it will be good.

Wow, your brutal!

I would be ashamed to include Godzilla in a List War.
