3rd and 2nd parties have delivered exclusives to xb1 not microsoft ;)

and im scared if microsoft continues on that path. It will effect the industry too negatively.

Audience > than outright cash and that's what third parties who sided with microsoft felt and shall realize soon enough. Dead Rising 3 and Titanfall are victim 1 and 2.

Soon sunset overdrive and tomb raider will be victims 3 and 4.

And don't give me the "it was enough" bullshit claim.

Nothing is ever "enough" for 3rd party publishers.


There is absolutely no difference whatsoever. Microsoft paid the bills, the games wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Microsoft. 

Plus, Forza Horizon 2 is first party, and its the best damn racing game released in years. 


dead rising, titanfall, sunset, and tomb raider would all exist one way or another.

These publishers just wanted the easy route out with ms footing their bills for exclusivity.

These deals were also prob made when xbox was more popular as well. Now that the tables have turned it's a whole different story now for these publishers. 

When Sony was market leader developers worked much harder and made much better games. Now after xbox gained a ton of marketshare and became market leader in the u.s. quality has faded and publishers and microsoft are rehashing the same franchise over and over. I DON'T want xbox to become as popular as the 360 EVER again!!!!

Sunset Overdrive would probably not exist with out MS; the jury is out on Titanfall. I'll give you the other two. 

Does the market leader matter at all?? Nintendo had a couple of deals for the GCN, Sony for the PS3, and MS will likely have more deals for the XB1 with Tom Clancy's The Division being the next game. The market leader has little influence on who gets deals. 

The current state of video game quality has absolutely NOTHING to do with the 360 being at the forefront last gen. It's related to game budgets and publishers not willing to take risks anymore. Most publishers these days are "rehashing the same franchise over and over". Sony makes so many new IP for a completely different reason, and that has nothing to do with the market leader (hint; they only have one true long running since PS1 franchise that will be returning and many of their games die). Sony is a completely different can of worms, but I will tell you, people praise their new IP, but they can't seem to keep any going.
