So if crackdown wasn't a Microsoft 1st party then what was their last new ip? :S

 

Good job on explaining Kinect. Cause obviously the Wii never had those 2 type of games and they are only popular with Kinect right?

Socom, mag, war/starhawk, twisted metal, and allstars did bad because of poor reviews. Wipeout is the only one that I am surprised caused the studio to shut.

But also I said new experiences meaing with sony I got uncharted, infamous, heavy rain, ratchet and clank, littlebigplanet, with the last of us, beyond 2 souls, puppeteer, and rain coming out which is more than I can say I got from ms. I also own a gaming pc for my fps gaming so I don't hate shooters just hate 30fps on console thus me disliking console shooters.

MS is bad for gamers for the long run. If ms feel that Kinect brings in more money than core games then ms will invest less in core games and us games will suffer on relying on 3rd party.

It's actually really funny that Xbox gamers have to bring in business points and views when talking about gaming which is really sad on their part. I talk about games they bring in business views congrats on proving my point that Xbox gamers don't care about gaming.

The point of the matter is this, Sony feels that they can boost their bottom line by giving their cores gamers what they want which is new aaa core experiences. MS feels they can boost their bottom line with only Kinect and recycling their big 3 franchises. Sure both are in it for my money but Sony does it much better for me as a core gamer who loves new gaming experiences.

MS owns the Crackdown IP, so really doesn't matter who made the game.
Sony doesn't own Insomniac either and they still made the Ratchet and Resistance games (Ratchet was not a new experience this gen either btw.).

You seem to be very short-sighted. When you talk about gaming you need to (at least think but even better) talk about financials as well.
Enjoy the next 10 years of great support and overpowered hardware, but then don't be surprised when big studios close and Sony sells its gaming division after that period.
Microsoft and Nintendo will still be around then.
Don't think I'm exaggerating. PS3 made them billions of losses that they will never get back (on top of that all previously earned money from the PS2 era is also gone, so their gaming division hasn't made them a single cent yet in almost 20 years.). Vita is doing pathetic so far. Sony already is in huge trouble, so they can't afford a 2nd PS3 with the PS4.

As I previously mentioned, MS will try new IPs again at the start of next gen. If one of these IPs (or more) thrive, you will see more of them. If not then don't expect them to try the same genre again for a few years.


You speak the truth.
