If countering with another fighting game then MS best chance is to get exclusive for Marvel vs. Capcom.

I would've said Tekken as well but that's already in the works for both platforms.

IMO they can't counter SF5 exclusives. SF to me is a fighting game that stands on it's own. It's always been the best to me by a long shot. Other fighters can be fun but SF has always been the best obviously IMO.

Now I guess they could counter it if they did something ridiculous and get a bunch of top 3rd party games exlusive. An exclusive resident evil might have been enough in the past but that series has fallen so far from grace I wouldn't care much.

Oh I agree with you about SF.  It's truly the best fighting game and no other can come close to it.  I also love the whole SF community and their passion where they truly show that SF is more than just a game.  No other fighting game has ever come close to the level that SF is at.

MS can counter easily but just depends on how much money they're actually willing to spend.  MS's Tomb Raider exclusive was to counter Uncharted but I still don't think that'll work all that well.

Easily? I don't think so.
Satya Nadella would never be able to justify such ridiculous use of funds, to the board of directors and shareholders. 


I agree, securing Rise of the Tomb Raider for Holiday 2015, was their "counter" to Sony's Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.
