That's you. In the end,Sony had clearly more studios than MS in this gen and you still say it's not. And why i need to offer when wiki already have list? Plus why the hell you starting talking about this gen when the thread is about next gen? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5169007 Don't tell me i start it first |
Seriously... The point is that Microsoft had plenty of studios, yet they didn't pump out any games. They threw their money at third parties for irrelevant timed exclusivity. For gamers, that's not really good. Microsoft might have made people go to the 360 instead of the PS3 in the early days of the generation because of those business decisions (which is good), but in the end, that left the 360 with not that much to differentiate itself from the competition as far as content is concerned, since there were very few exclusive games. The last 2 years of the console have been really thin as far as exclusive games are concerned. And a lot of people jumped ship.
If this really changes for the NextBox, and their newly created studios really create great and hopefully new experiences, it will be really great for us gamers. But until we get any tangible infos, some of these studios could have been built to create more Kinect centric casual stuff. I hope that's not the case. Because if Microsoft can manage to ensemble other studios of the caliber of 343, but for entirely new IPs, their next platform will be really interesting to see grow and flourish. As was the case for Sony with the PS3.
