More than anything Microsoft needs to invest in exclusive software. Nothing is more important to potential buyers than seeing killer apps available on only one devise. The first couple years of a consoles life hinge on exclusives. As the years go by they become less important but the next Xbox will need Halo, Forza, Fable, and new IP as well as bring franchises back like Perfect Dark, Crimson Skies, Mechwarrior, etc. Microsoft also needs to invest in expending their first party developers. Nintendo and Sony have dozens of teams working on exclusives while MS likes to pay for publishing rights and timed exclusives. That's fine and it's worked so far, but will Gears of War be exclusive to the next Xbox? Epic owns it so who knows. Mass Effect went multiplatform and so did Bioshock. If Microsoft wants to stay on top they are going to need more AAA 1st party games pumped out by dedicated AAA 1st party developers. |
im not aruging that they need more exclusives because they do. But its kind of unfair to comapre the number to sony and nintendo since at one point it was only those two and thats probly when sony bought/got most of there compines.
I also think they should keep the paid xbox live just reduce the price back to were it originally was. And they need to sell for less then sony which will probly be through the roof just like this gen lol |
Sony actually bought several studios this gen, far more then MS in fact. MS made no effort to acquire studios before they put out kinect and it seems all the studios they got for it are working on is kinect mini games. I also sincerely doubt Sony will cell the ps4 for an insane amount again, I mean there is no reason for it, blu ray and the cell have both come down in cost, they did all the hard costly work for upgrading tech with the ps3.
