Who really believes EA games will be exclusive to the next Xbox in any way, shape or form?

A one year timed exclusive is possible, perhaps that Respawn game like rumours say. I think it's possible because rumors say that MS is in trouble and up to 6 months behind schedule for its 1st party launch line-up.

And since Epic probably will go multiplatform with Gears, MS might feel the need to invest say $50 million on a timed exclusive deal with EA for one high-profile title to ensure a good start for the Nextbox.

I was talking more about studios that EA owns. Respawn is an independent studio isn't it?
