Machiavellian said:
Who really cares if a exclusive is made by MS. If MS is funding or publishing it then they have invested in that exclusive. As a gamer I just want good games and I care little if the game is first party. I care little if the exclusive will appear on another console in a year or 2 latter. The reason is because I am a gamer not a fanboy. In the end, all Console makers play it safe enough where you have established IP and you only venture to risk on new stuff later in the development of the system. Case in point would be Sony this gen. Early games are established franchises that have sold well and have strong audiences. |
Not really. Knack and DriveClub and The Order are brand new, and Killzone and inFamous are middling franchises.
As for MS, they have more than enough money to create new studios and still remain in profit for the Xbox division but they don't, they moneyhat exclusives and make the same games over and over again. The big question is why they go for short term solutions when they say they are in gaming for the long haul
