| PullusPardus said: Sony made lots of engines, but they only shared quite few (maybe just one if i remember) Nintendo makes one engine per console, and they don't share it. Microsoft on the other hand rely on third party engines , mostly Unreal Engine. |
I'm pretty sure the Forza engine is Microsoft's as is the engine for Fable, then there's Halo Reach's engine which may or may not be owned by Microsoft. In fact isn't the engine that drove Halo Wars there's too. I'll not go on but there are plenty not owned by third parties that were custom built for some games.
Microsoft don't rely on third parties at all for engines, third parties rely on third party engines. No multi format company is going to goto Microsoft or Sony for a engine to run across both those manufacturers consoles for obvious optimization reasons.
