This just proves that microsoft don't care about supporting their past consoles when they release their new consoles. Microsoft must seriously hate supporting their old consoles and outdated.

Or could it just be that using a better kinect, not forcing the developer to only use kinect but also giving them the freedom to use both controls and letting them expand the game to make it better including evelating the game as a launch game for their brand new console.  Since games are still being made for the 360 from MS own studios, I do not see what the problem is.

This is a smart move on MS since the game uses Kinect, probably smarter to use the best piece of hardware.  Could be the same reason Ryse also was moved to X1 and probably a other games that uses Kinect as well.

Yeah but why don't they atleast try supporting past consoles to make transitioning easier to next generation and plus this will give consumers a bad taste in the mouth like how nintendo practically dropped support for the wii and that soured my relationship deeply with them. 

Just like Sony, you have periods of a bunch of games coming out and then not so much because of development schedules.  In the last 2 years MS has went from a few development studios to about 20.  These studios can only do so much and they can only working on so many titles depending on their size.  This year, Sony brought out a lot of games from their studios but very little for their the PS4.  MS on the other hand did the opposite.

Probably timming is more the situation than anything else as next year, there probably will be little coming out from Sony for the PS3 while MS has a few titles and maybe more lined up for the 360.  MS stated they will be supporting the 360 for 3 more years so lets see what type of support that is.

I would like to point out that many of the games MS will be bringing for their new console over the next 12 months are actually NOT first party developed games. Out of the 24 exclusive games, timed or otherwise, only about 8 of them are actually developed by Microsoft Studios. The rest are third party developed games. Some are published by MS, others are not. If you're referring to Xbox One launch titles it's obviously even less. Only 3 or 4 games are developed by Microsoft first party studios. Sony currently has 4 exclusives from their first-party teams with more to yet be announced for Year One. We've only heard about 12 of the 20 exclusive Sony-published games. With 8 of them left, you can be sure a few others will be first party developed. As for launch this year, Sony has about the same number of first-party developed games coming which is 3, making it equal or close to the same number of MS games.
