MS is prioritizing the wrong things. I believe this will backfire in the next gen. You can only ignore the core gamer for so long.

They aren't ignoring the core gamer and now that they have so many studios set up for next gen you can expect an absolute huge amount of first party exclusives (both Kinect only and one's that can be used with a controller and Kinect)

A huge amount of Kinect games yes, but we have no evidence of many exclusives for traditional controls.

Even if some of the Kinect games are planned to be "core" Kinect games I am suspicious because I hold the belief that Kinect is near useless for core gaming except for the odd arcade style title such as Child of Eden (which would have been a cool experience with Kinect 2.0).

I will say this again. MS won't abandon the core gamer...it's really as simple as that.

Only because they abandomed them in 2010.

XBLA, Halo Remake, Forza 4, Gears of War 3, amazing 3rd Party games and my 360 is so hot i think its gonna get fire...

Yeah hardcore gamers have gone, they are no more on 360.

lol

You only listed two Microsoft IP's and the rest were third party. They are NOT investing in core IP's. Way to prove Microsoft cares. :)

Well unlike Sony that just takes blind shots in the dark, shots that usually miss and are forgotten, Halo 4 alone will win 2012 for 360 due to its flagship status. 

Not to mention 360s other 2012 offerings, that most gamers are content with 3rd party games, the fact that all core gamers made their choice at this point, and MS trying to hold onto their new audience they just captured. 


Sony isnt taking a shot in the dark. They are known for having a wealth of games and notable IP's every gen. They handle first parties far better than Microsoft does. If anything can be admitted this is it dude. Microsofts most notable IP this whole gen has been Gears and it isn't even their IP. On the other hand Sony has brought InFamous, Resistance, Uncharted, Little Big Planet, Mod Nation Racers and more out into the light and they are quality products. They might not be as popular but Sony has always been known for having a great wealth of reliable, quality titles. Microsoft is better at relying on third parties and truthfully any company would be good at letting others do the work for them. Sony and Nintendo are gaming companies though and take great pride in providing an abundance of quality games. Nintendo is proof that first party can trump third party because their wall of third party shovelware is astonishing.
