All games MS cancelled the last years were bad. Why do people want these bad games so badly?

Sure, MS could have released all these terrible games just to have more exclusives but none of these games are games anyone on this planet really needs as long as they don't get even more years dev time to be maybe "ok" and not bad anymore. 

That would be a delicious kick in the pants to MS if they did. But they mightn't be able to. If Microsoft owned the IP, then that wouldn't have changed just because the production was cancelled.

Reading betwen the lines I would say it looks like, not everyone but a sinificant amount of people who are supportive of it being revived by Sony, are prim arily  motivated by being  able to say we did what MS couldn't rather than any great feelings toward the game itself. I recall a fair amount of so what that MS has scalebound we have  Horizon.

as much as the cancellation of Scalebound seems like a mega hit to the Xbox (considering the limited solid exclusive IPs), there is obviously probably a reason the project was canceled. I.e. totally different visions on the game. We don't know who is really to blame, more Microsoft or Platinum

in the end Microsoft has more money than practically any other company out there, and they're used to throwing away loads of money on the Xbox (has the platform ever made them money? like overall, their video game division?, sometimes I think the Xbox is just a marketing tool for them to keep Microsoft in the mind of younger generations, because their money seems to come almost exclusively from their programs, i.e. Microsoft Office, Windows).  

Just don't see a realistic reason Microsoft, again loaded with cash, would bail on Scalebound unless the project was not going nearly as well as the clips shown looked. The game LOOKED far along, but maybe that was deceiving and just to excite fans (what bits were shown being worked on more than the rest of the game I mean)

the automatic reaction is "oh yeah, Sony should pick this one up and the Playstation will become even more dominant in terms of exclusives". But even if they were capable of buying the IP from Microsoft the odds are genuinly that Scalebound is a mess and far from finished.

I think a lot of you are jumping the gun here. There is no way Microsoft canceled a project that was near finished OR coming along well. 

I wont be surprised that MS will hire someone else to finished the project maybe on Scorpio since Platinum failed do finish the game. They say its cancelled for now, however I see a return somewhere down the line.
Plus its a MS IP. From the other fan camps it doesn't seem like other fans cared to much about this game so no need to sell it to unwanted gamers.

It's called having faith in the console manufacturers. Like it or not Sony is more or less the most "Loyalty" based console manufacturer, which is ironic because they are probably the most anti-consumer console manufacturer this generation. But what I mean by this is that most of Sony's projects are built around the idea of making sure Sony fans are satisfied. Sony is like an insecure girl who does all she can to make her boyfriend happy in every way. They have spent so much time and care on The Last Guardian, and while the game could have been much better with improved controls and more stable frame rates - look what happened when it released - some people felt the problems were too bad to enjoy it , but MOST PEOPLE felt the game was great enough to look past the problems, hell some people felt it was a downright masterpiece. Is Sony contracting Activision to make Crash Bandicoot because it's a system seller? Not really ... they're doing it because they know there's a market for it and that Sony fans feel disfatisfied with Crash's  treatment. 

I've heard people say time and time again "who cares , it's Scalebound. It looked bad and buggy". And to them I say this - you must take the footage we've seen for granted. Compared to The Last Guardian, Shenmue 3, Final Fantasy 7, etc etc the game looked far more along and even though it needed some smoothining out it was almost ... almost there. The gameplay footage is criticized wayyy to much as a way to try and excuse the cancellation. The reality is tha Microsoft probably wanted a huge grand multiplayer 4 player mode that couldn't be supported on such weak hardware - and I don't think Microsoft was willing to make it a Scorpio exclusive. More than likely, the single player would be just fine by itself. 

Yes but titles like this should really be left to die in piece, Sony in the other hand doesn't need to stick it it's hands in a burned up project, they are enjoying a lot of success as it stands now

Yes and that's exactly what will happen, you just have to have use commonsense and look at the past to see that Sony wont touch this .
