Says who? 

 

He's thinking of independent third parties that keep taking their exclusives and making them multiplat. What he doesn't realize is we're talking about games like Resistance, Ratchet and Clank, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, and Lair that were created by studios Sony doesn't own but made IPs they can't bring elsewhere.

 

 

Small correction- Sony do own Evolution Studios, the Motorstorm devs.

As for the topic, I really don't understand why MS haven't tried to increase their amount of 1st party developers. What they're doing seems like such a poor strategy in the long run. But what do I know, I don't run any game divisions.

Highlight for me the benefits of why it's a good strategy to have 1st party developers instead of outsourcing exclusives to 3rd parties. I don't see any. 

 

 

You get more return, most of the money made goes to the company unlike 3rd party where the console company only gets a small amount.
