This is how you communicate with the gamers! I still prefer that they create their own IPs but they are releasing alot of them and this is just a bonus in my view :).

How is this a bonus to you? Honest question. I'm just curious since the deal doesn't add a game to the XB lineup. It merely removes it elsewhere.

I feel this is a dangerous and anti consumer practice. It's bad enough that Sony has a bunch of exclusive destiny stuff, timed dlc already sucks.

Bying timed exclusivity has been going on since the NES era, not really a new practice :).

Well, it does indeed add something. It adds a competitive element to the X1 that PS4 will not have, even though it is a timed exclusivity deal.  I think what Phil is getting at is that MS can then market X1 as the only place with both an exclusive FPS in Halo 5 AND and exclusive TPS in TR next fall. Perception is everything.

But it will not be the only place with an exclusive TPS. There is Uncharted. And who knows, maybe Sony will have an exclusive FPS as well. Logic is everything.

Exactly, and if TR was multiplatform, MS wouldn´t have been able to use TR as an exclusive TPS to pit against Uncharted.
