Because Microsoft honestly has nothing going for them until next year outside of Killer Instinct. They are smart. They cover up their weaknesses with other peoples games.


don't you get tired of spreading this nonsense?


Ok..What has Microsoft been using to sell Xbox Ones? Lets see in Europe they used Fifa and they are giving away Titanfall now. Theres no actual Microsoft game that is truly selling consoles. Forza is a great game but there is no Microsoft made system seller. Instead of taking offense realize that every opinion has a point.

I want to keep on watching 'The Following' with my family, so I make this pretty short and simple.

The consumer does not give a fuck whether an exclusive is 1st (Halo, Kinect Sports, Project Spark) 2nd (Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive) or 3rd (Titanfall) party exclusive. All they see is an exclusive.

But you seem to think that the game has to be 1st party to be good or worth our attention, which is just stupid.


No, I am stating that Microsoft couldn't even make something of worth themselves to sell consoles this year so they use third party titles to cover up their weaknesses. Not everything comes down to first party but with MS they know the profitability of investing less in games and focusing on pumping up the profitability of third party. Microsoft was confronted about this many times last gen towards the end of the last two years. They know the value of good third party and keeping it from Sony is pretty much all they are concerned about.
