Good strategy, copy Nintendo.
We all see how it's working for them.

I am very scared that this will just turn into "buying 3rd party exclusives" and "paying 3rd party to avoid PS4".


Thats what is happening. Quantum Break, Tomb Raider, Scalebound, Killer Instinct (Developed by two third party developers), Ryse, Dead Rising, Titanfall. The hype is all third party. MS needs to prove the naysayers wrong (including me) and truthfully I want them to. 


1. Quantum Break is an IP owned by Microsoft. So they are not keeping anything from Sony with Money

2. Killer Instinct is owned by Microsoft.

3. Dead Rising 3 was funded by Microsoft

4. Titanfall wouldn't have been finished if Microsoft didn't fund the rest of it.

Not sure about RYSE or Scalebound, but I am sure Scalebound, much like a lot of Platnum games, are being funded by the console maker. So honestly Tomb Raider and I guess RYSE is the only thing backing up your thinking. However based on your post history none of this is really going to get through to you.



You're proving my point without even noticing it. Nothing there is an indicator of what MS is capable of outside of paying for things. We already know they can do that. They can own as many IPs as they want. Its hollow if they aren't an indicator of the creativity of MS. There is no unified style, nothing. Zero identity whatsoever. You're talking to an artistic entity so that type of integrity is a big thing in my argument. 

Also EA fully funded Titanfall. Titanfall was going to be on both the PS4 and Xbox One until Sony turned the game down. You're a bit late there. Dead Rising was funded by MS but still isnt exclusive. Much like Ninja Gaiden 2 the general contract is allows them to make the game on other platforms outside of their direct competition. Same goes for Ryse.

It will catch up with them as the gen progresses and the sea of applicable third party dries as it did last gen leaving MS to lack exclusives compared to former years where they could just moneyhat or get B team prequels like Gears Judgement because the A team at Epic is finally trying to make their own game without MS beggining them to make games for them. As good as they are doing now its no different from how last gen started. False perception is one thing, but the reality becomes apparent as time goes on as last gen proved with MS.
