So he isn't saying anything that vgc have discussed to death... but Phill will have another announcement saying they are increasing first party investments to unprecedented levels.

Yeah...the investments seem to be focused on next gen. Last I checked they said between two and a half to three years. yeah...the next Xbox will be out by then. Another problem is those exclusives are being made by studios that we know exactly know, so it might or might not turn out well. Remember that we went through this before with Crytek and Black Tusk and one game was switch from a Kinect game to a regular game and the new IP from Black Tusk was scrapped for the perpetual Gears release. There will be one last Halo and One last Gears this gen. This gen for Xbox is like watching a ship sink slowly. Next gen people will be tired of Forza...mark my words.

It probably take even more than 3 years from investing in a new studio to bringing the first competent AAA game... but they have been saying they are improving their first party since before X1 release with several billions (I think it was 6) invested in making new studios...

Do you remember at the months prior to reveal people were trying to prove MS had more studios than Sony (after they made the investment) and we only basically only saw Gears and Halo coming from the new studios? And they have closed some of the studios before they even released anything.

Yeah, last gen was paintful towards the end for xbox because their exclusives were severely lacking and the investments they said they were making just wouldnt surfae. It was just bad. heh....not good at all. They used the Witcher 2 to save them but the last two years after Kinects hype fell off the face of the earth it was just that slow burn waiting for Gears in 2011 and Halo in 2012. They will end this gen the same way but in reverse. Gears will drop last. It suvks for the Xbox One X owners because they will only get two years with the console before they have to contemplate dropping another $500.

Xbox 360 ended its run in 2013. 360 had Halo 4 in 2012 and Gears Judgement in 2013. As long as you were a fan of crappy sequels, the end of the 360 wasnt half bad

LOL yeah, true. I forgot about Judgement even though I played it late. I was told to stay away from the game because how horrible the story was. LOL The game was basically nonstop hordemode. I didnt mind. heh. Played it on insanity by myself. Yeah, Microsoft is lucky they still have some of us Gears fans by the juevos. LOL

Damn we're linking Blackb0nd's videos now? That's pretty much the equivalent of Crapgamer's shit. Dude's a walking hypocrite, can't take anything he says seriously

I should have known from the title! It's trying to sound detailed, while actually being vague.

What has blackbond said that's hypocritical? I definitely must disagree. Bond is far more objective that crap and could destroy him in a gaming debate. Actually, the last couple debates that I've seen with Xbox owners on YouTube they generally lost. Bond is neutral with Sony and Xbox Though. Chances are he won't buy their consoles now but he'll somehow play their games and give back great feedback.

It says a good commentary. Quite frankly I don't understand the comparison with bond to crap gamer. Crap gamer is a hypocrite.

I don't think he's the truth for everything. I was just talking about his commentary.
