Whats not enough is what does not exist. As I've said they'll probably get some third party to do it for them and risk quality, because I don't think Microsoft does quality assurance checks third parties outside of Epic games.

You're getting into something else now. I could argue Sony, Nintendo, Capcom, Activions, EA, Sega, and some other big companies don't always have great quality control either.

Sony for example. Some relatively recent titles like Motorstorm: Apocalypse, Socom 4, PS Move Heroes, DC Universe Online, The Fight, The Shoot, Start the Party, and Kung Fu Rider don't exactly scream great quality control. That's 8 games Sony should have kept their eye on.


To argue an in-house first party quality control battle would be a horrible argument to try and win. Even worse for a third party when it comes to Microsoft. Nintendo isn't even in this topic because they and third parties don't even mix.

Oh boy, what a boring discussion. I'm just saying a lot of companies don't always deliver in "quality assurance."

Lets just drop it. You aren't a big MS fan, I get it.


I'm not a fan of either MS or Sony. Trust is the issue. I would drop either console (which I already did with the 360) if it lost value to me as sure as the sun rises. I dropped my 360 for a reason.If I could I would still have both, but paying for school and having two consoles and paying for games just wasnt working. Dropping the 360 ensured me at least two exclusive PS3 and two multiplats for the year without having to fork out anymore cash. As I said I value games and quality games at that. Microsoft had a lot of games but they have by far the worst first party quality assurance. They only have good third party relationships with shooter titles. Nintendo has no connection with third parties at all, which is why they have a lot of shovelware. Sony is the only one out of three outside of first party titles that seems to have a direct connection with third parties, which is why they have extremely close first, second and third party titles and close relationships with the companies who make them.
