Honestly, square enix is MS best bet for exclusive games.

Square Enix giving Microsoft quality exclusives? Excuse me if I laugh too hard. Microsoft will have to pay them up the yin yang where as Sony pays nothing much like most of whats been happening this gen. Microsofts had to pay for a lot of titles in the past two years where as Sony pays nothing.

Sony has also paid for all those games that Microsoft paid for.  Except instead of money they paid for it in lost marketshare.

What about Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and others? Microsoft basically paid for its development (Namco admitted it) and a lot of Japanese titles that Microsoft paid for timed exclusivity to Sony. All of the games turned out superior. It was like a handful of games in 2009.

Its ok, Sony paid for most of Microsofts research and development on their CPU.  So that $400 million will certainly pay for a lot of exclusives.

I love when people use this pay for exclusive thing, it really kills them when they see the following link.

So Sony, thanks for all the exclusives you enabled me to have, as a 360 owner I appreciate it.

Microsoft coud have as well use this suppose 400 million from Sony to have more first party studios. The point wasnt how Microsoft earn the money they spend. Sony paid for R and D on a new CPU (they had to, microsoft or not), it has nothing to do with STAGE's critic.

Explain to me how it has nothing to do with it?  Obviously they saved hundreds of millions of dollars when Sony paid for the research.  And are using it to better the 360 by purchasing exclusives so it has everything to do with it.

So many here make fun of Microsoft for "purchasing 3rd party exlusives that Sony gets for free".  And I just showed you that 400 million pays for a lot of those.  So if anything Sony is just getting a little of its money back, they shouldn't have been so foolish drawing up CPU contracts.
