2. Aces Studio (Flight simulator)

Both of these were due to the "financial crisis". MS not immune, eh?

Next move

Journey devs only had a 3 game deal with Sony. Who wouldn't want extra sales? That's like saying Notch only went to XBLA because he was in a bad financial situation.

Pezus, Sony cut a lot more studios in the last couple years then MS has this gen.

Sony has also acquired a lot more studios this gen that have actually made games this gen. They're losing the fat and acquiring the goodies. 

Another company some would say MS has (indirectly) killed: Rare - a shadow of its former self. 

underperforming goodies ;). In the span of one year, BigBig, Zipper Interactive, ThatGameCompany exclusive contract not reniewed, Relentless software dropped exclusivity, and recently Sony Liverpool.

5 Studios either closed and/or not making PS3 exclusives anymore. Insomiac resources also shifting to multiplat developement also means they arent committed 100% to Sony like they used to be.

Rare ironically, has made its most profit with Kinect software this gen. But id imagine next gen will go back to core, if the rumors are true. Just saying you can't spin that MS cut its devs like the flight sim guys and ensemble but Sony was just "trimming the fat". Double standard , tsk tsk



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
