Xbox Next will not be a console anymore. My take on Microsoft's Nextbox.

S.T.A.G.E. said:

Their best selling game is the same game they didnt start development with but bought off away from Apple and that is Halo. The idea and spirit of halo existed before Microsoft even got ahold of it. They paid Epic for their Gears game. Forza and Fable (and Forza) are the only semi popular in house games created by them. Halo is the game that made Microsoft relevant. They cannot be compared in actual in house games that survived. They've increased their party of companies but at the same time hope those games succeed because if they fail you know what Microsoft will do to them.

All that Sony did for 2 gens is jack off about their console specs and live off 3rd party exclusives. So I am not sure with your Microsoft beef is here... You seem to believe that the only games that matter are franchises which can be milked fir sequels every year. Microsoft has 4 of those but lots of other solid games they invested in to and brought to their system. Brute Force was Pretty fun IMO and could have been milked for more sequels... Alan Wake sequel would be welcome too. Maybe if they start milking more of their games, you will see Microsoft as a company that invests in to games?
