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 Microsoft must seriously hate supporting their old consoles and outdated.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.

I am of the opinion that if its exclusive it doesn't matter if it first party.I am not sure if it really matters if a game is first party. Sony have a few studios making games for their platform that are 3rd party but gamers still see those games as part of the exclusives they look for in the platform.
@Bolded: MS has 20 studios now, and you only heard about 5 coming out for the X1. Just like Sony, there are plenty of first party games probably in development that MS will stagger their release. Also MS isn't shy about getting top notch studios to product exclusives games. When all is said and done, I am not sure if a gamer cares if a game is first, 2nd or Third party. If its exclusive and its a good game, it increases the wealth of purchasing that system.

Perhaps I'm mistaken but it seemed as though you may have been implying that Microsoft's first-party studios were doing considerably more for the XOne this year than Sony's first-party studios are doing for the PS4. Which is why I pointed out the Microsoft's first-party studios are, in fact, not doing as such. We have heard of 7 games being developed by Microsoft's studios for the XOne. Fable Legends, Forza Motorsport 5, Halo, Kinect Sports Rivals, Project Spark, LocoCycle, and Max: Curse of the Brotherhood. I was off by one. As far as I know, only two of those games will be at launch. In this case I was off 1 or 2 games. Furthermore, Microsoft had said that they will be publishing 15 exclusive titles for Year One. They have announced 16 up to this point but I'm willing to bet one of them won't make it out this year. Probably Sunset Overdrive or Quantum Break. It's possible that Microsoft will announce more for 2014 but I highly doubt it and if they do it will be one or two games and likely small ones. Most of Microsoft's studios are brand new so it will be awhile before we see anything from them.
Microsoft being willing to do whatever with whoever is irrelevant to the point I was taking exception with.
