Are Sony fans worried about XB1's 15 exclusives?

What exclusives did Microsoft buy this gen?

 

The only exclusives worthwhile on the 360 are Halo, Gears, and Forza...Microsoft didn't pay second parties to go multiplatfom, the devs simply couldn't ignore the 360's userbase.  Billions of dollars on Xbox One games? Doubtful, I'm not sure if you're aware or not but Microsoft's gaming division simply isn't profitable enough for what you're proposing. You're forgetting the fact that Xbox and Playstation are only small divisions for Sony and Microsoft, so neither will put their gaming divisions in a financial hole by spending billions on buying a huge dev. 

 

There's currently 0 hype for a Xbox 360 exclusive this year, absolutely none. Meanwhile PS3 is seeing Beyond Two Souls, The Last Of Us, Gran Turismo 6, Ni No Kuni, Tales Of Xillia, and God Of War Ascension. Other than Gears of War Judgement, what has Microsoft given you on your 360? You said the best games right? Where are they?  I'll give you a hint, there aren't many Xbox exclusives, third party games were better on the platform admittedly, but don't dare try to compare the two first parties, in all honesty the comparison is rather laughible.

 

When it comes to 1st party content it goes. Nintendo Handheld > Nintendo Console = Playstation > Microsoft.

Um....no. They definitely did. Rockstar and Square Enix come to mind right off the bat.

R* was actually in contract to continue to make GTA exclusively for PS brand but Sony agreed to let them out of the contract after MS offered them 60million on the premise they would give them another game of equal value. Sony's payback was suppose to be LA Noir....but that was a bust. Then Agent.......which got put on hold indefinitely.

FFXIII broke exclusivity only because of MS's checkbook. When harsh statements were being thrown at MS for moneyhatting, a MS rep responded with a chuckling "Maybe Sony should worry less about how much we paid for it, and more about why they didn't". SE was hoping for the same treatment around the time FFXIV was suppose to be releasing but they only got MS's cold shoulder as they had no use for that when they had already severed the brand recognition with the series with Sony. The money MS gave SE also ended up funding exclusive 360 version advertising of the game in the US. Even the giveaways were 360 versions(much to fan's disgust).

In short, they definitely moneyhatted some series to go multiplat. Maybe not all, but some.
