i mean 1 year is gears
then the other halo

and back-and-forth
they have other exclusives but those 2 are the main
when fanboys argue

not flaming JUST BEING TRUTHFUL

Gears is not first party. First party means microsoft would OWN the company that makes it. Even if they owned the IP, the games made by epic would still be third party, unless they made newer ones. Likewise there is also second party, which means a company funds the game. AKA sony funding LBP.

 

It's hard to decide wether halo is a first party title. On the surface it seems it, since at the time bungie was owned by microsoft. Though bungie also funded the game entirely and also broke off from microsoft. Though either way, halo is the only first party game other then fable 2 I can think of.

 

 

 actually ms has the ip so halo is first party...
