Core games or not they still sucked. They aren't investing in core games the way they should be. |
Certainly making a better effort then Nintendo.
But XBLA seems to be where they are taking risks with new content. Spelunky is a MS published game, coming out next week, getting great reviews.

Microsoft has proven that they've tried with high risk titles and failed too many times, which is why they always take the cheap route with XBLA. High reward for low risk. They only care to invest in proven franchises which literally are less than a handful. They aren't good at making exclusives and two generations is proof of that enough for the blind. Nintendo doesn't make enough core titles but when they pump out a Metroid, Zelda, Mario or any of their stable it tends to be a hit. My only worry for them is making a new IP.

What big exclusives have they invested in that failed? (Not including those stupid kinect games)
I dont know lol, can you name a few?
Im kinda new to this gen as I only bought me Xbox360 last year and my ps3 the year before.

XSN, Their fleet of average first party on the Xbox which were overshadowed by their third party completely, Too Human (Contract with Silicon Knights that fell through because it sucked), Fable franchise (Not bad just a severe letdown), Ninety-Nine Nights and much, much more.
