I know that this seems to be the current thought process but in the pass 2 years MS has purchase or built about 5 game studios.  From about 13 studios that MS has, we have not seem anything.  It's a good bet that all of those studios will be releasing games for the next Xbox.

you can bet both Sony and MShave the same goal in a media hub and the PS4 will integrate with all of Sony stuff.  The key will be which one will be able to execute their plan the best.


Kinect Fitnessgames don't count
We all have seen that list where a lot of unanounced Kinect games are listed.
The focus of Microsoft is the Media and Casual market cause they know the other people are satisfied with the Next Halo Trilogy already.

We know most studios Sony has are working on 2 Games(except PD cause they only do GT) and most of those studios are on the quality level of Naughty Dog.
Sorry Sony is putting a lot more effort in GAMING than anyone right now - PS3 even gets a lot of new games in 2013 and a new core IP from Naughty Dog and Quantic Dream.


Okay, so you think the BioShock Infinite producer, combat designer and AI lead joined Microsoft to work on Kinect fitness games?

Or the lead developer of Crysis 2 joined Black Tusk studios (used to be MS Vancouver) will do dancing-games now?

Or one of the game designers of Uncharted 3 and The Last of Us will do Kinect Sports season 3?

Sony on the other hand closed BigBig, Sony Liverpool and Zipper and after PSABR flopped as bad as it did they did not support SuperBot Entertainment any longer and they are basically dead now. All of this happened in the past 2 years.

--> conclusion: MS will only do casual games now... Riiiiiight.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
