Sony and Microsoft will be neck and neck in first party titles by the end of this gen- You'll see.

 

No.  I think you're forgetting that they have something like only 2 first party studios..do you mean exclusives?  I might buy into exclusives..but MS will have nowhere near as many first party titles..

 

Lets see, theres Rare, Turn 10 Studios, Lionhead, Xbox Live productions, Wingnut Interactive and now the newest Addition of Spawnpoint Studios (Whom are taking over the Halo franchise). That counts as being more than two. Microsoft can acquire Studios just as easy as they replaced Bungie. Do not underestrimate them.

 

I didn't know they had 6 studios.  More than I expected, however..Sony has 17 if I'm counting right..I could name them if you like.  Also..who's Spawnpoint Studios?  I don't get that..if Bungie isn't doing it, I don't think it'll be done right, even though I was disappointed with Halo 3.

 

 

Thats great, I have no problem with Sony owning studios as long as they make great games that I can play. Really this gen Sony can still be thankful for third party devs. Spawnpoint Studios are the new stand-in for Bungie since they went off on their own. The majority of Sonys hottest titles which are coming out or are already out such as Resistance, Infamous, Ratchet and Clank, White Knight Chronicles, Flower, MGS4 and more are all 3rd party partners. Their only first party titles which have caught my attention are God of War, KZ2, Gran Turismo and Warhawk ...everything else still belongs to third party.

Microsofts first party consists of the Halo franchise, Fable franchise, Forza franchise, PGR franchise, Perfect Dark, Kameo and more. They may have less studios, but those have still pumped out a lot of first party games worth having on the console.

As I said...they should be neck and neck with first party titles. Devs don't count if they aren't pumping out quality.
