MS had money last gen too...you cannot buy your way to the top, MS won't keep buying IP's. gears was always exclsuive anyway. Eventually it becomes counter productive and you have to get your return on investment. Also with ps4 having as bigger install base it's going to get harder and harder to cut yourself off from a huge number of gamers.

Third party exclusivity = bad for gaming period.

Yes they will. If they didn't they wouldn't be where they are. I'm completely fine with that though and hearing Gears of War is coming back has lifted my spirits regardless of their maniacle spending.

No they cannot you cannot just buy studios and expect it to work......even ms lamented how difficult it is.  If it were that easy they would have done it mroe often. Then there is the fact that they want to make money, if they keep losing money on xbox they may just get rid of it. It coems at a point the cost is not worth it, especially with ps4 pulling away from x1.
