Exclusives from the first party and some exclusives from third parties.

Both current gen and the upcoming gen.


I touched on both of those.

What 3rd party games don't show up in Steam/PC or Onlive? I honestly can't think of any.

The only MS first party I like is Gears and I'm pretty sure that always gets a late PC release. I least I thought it did. In the end, that one game is not enough.


If you are a RPG fan (or any Japanese developed) game wise:

-Tales of Vesperia
-Lost Odyssey
-Blue Dragon (not the DS one)
-Infinite Undiscovery (bad rpg from what I hear, but different people different opinions).
-Magna Carta II

There's others too but less significant fanbase wise and sales wise such as Saints Row, Bullet Witch (I think that is what it is called), etc.

^ Those are some examples of 360 titles though, I cant say for sure on the next gen Xbox cause....you know it hasnt been announced yet.

 

If any of those games were on Steam or PC I would get it in a heartbeat (or as soon as I can get money).

Those are games from the 1st few years where Microsoft had all the support they could buy.
Mistwalker(LO and BD) won't work for/with Microsoft anymore.They had a 2 games contract cause Microsoft helped them to fund the studio.After that they run away and worked for/with Nintendo and actually i think Sakaguchi is doing surfer browsergames.
Tales of Vesperia nearly destroyed the whole Tales of Studios cause it was a brutal minus cause it didn't sell as microsoft promised them.
And in the 360 Version you could see things(missing spaces in group talks and stuff) that were a sign that they never wanted to make it 360 exclusive.They just couldn't afford a PS3 Version.Vesperia PS3 made them so much money they could be profitable again and went Sony Exclusive with Xillia(Franchise PreOrder Records and destroyer of Final Fantasy 13-2 in JAPAN) and Xillia 2.Graces F and Vesperia were clearly superior ports who made them insane amounts of money too.

This support is gone completely - Don't mention always stuff from the 1st few years.That doesn't count anymore today.
Look at what Microsoft is deliverin in the past 3 years after most of their 3rd Party Exclusives went Multiplat or over to Sony/Nintendo
And when you hear some stuff about NextGen you don't hear a lot about new IPs for the NextBox.We know Sony Studios are working on NextGen Titles and New IPs(Santa Monica Studios and Guerilla Games)
If Sony doesn't screw up like they did with the PS3 at the beginning Microsoft won't have the same easy way to convince Developers to go Exclusive for them especially not Japanese Developers.They had their fair share of lessons in this Gen.The PS3 is the only console their stuff is selling on.


@Thread
There is no reason
PC + PS3/4 is the way to go in this and the upcoming Gen.
You are like me - You don't like Halo and CoD DLC.Gears is kinda fun but you can play the Next Trilogy when the NextBox is at 150$ 6 years into the NextGen.
You won't miss anything out.Alan Wake 2?Will come to PC anyway especially they wanted to bring the PC Version of AW1 so bad.Halo?Not really a good franchise if you have PC Shooters available.CoD?Battlefield or other Military Shooters(Arma3 for example) on PC!
Most west RPGs have insane Mod support on PC - Skyrim looks on PC like its on Nextbox7 or Playstation 8 thanks to mods.
It really depends only on the question > Do you like Halo?And is it enough for you to justify that much money to spent.
Or do you like an insane library of different exclusives over the WHOLE Gen and the option to upgrade and have better looking and modable 3rd Party Games?PC+Sony is the way to go.

And @ others
Don't call me a hater - I have 3 360s cause of the early years.Biggest mistake i made.I bought an import 360 cause i wanted to play Tales of Vesperia so badly cause it did take so long to come to europe just to learn they will never get any J-RPGs(THE GAMES  > I < LIKE!) over the whole Gen again.
And the other games i like went completely missing too - WHERE IS KAMEO 2?Wasting Rare at garbage like Kinect.Kameo was so damn nice..god i loved that game.
I DON'T LIKE HALO and I think its a medicore franchise at best.Its not MY taste.
So people - There is no justified reason to buy a Microsoft Console if you don't like Halo anymore if you have a Sony Console and a gaming PC.
