I really do wonder if Nadella is forcing the XBox to division to have to go without.

Nadella was appointed CEO in Feb 2014, so it's quite possible even the Rise of Tomb Raider and certainly the Titanfall exclusivity deals were negotiating before Nadella took the reigns of the company.

Since then, MS hasn't scored any real type of third party exclusive.

And like I can understand Sony having more at their show, but to literally get shut out of Batman, Star Wars Battlefront, Assassin's Creed, Destiny, Hitman, and Call of Duty ... I mean all of them? It's mind boggling and I have to wonder if Phil Spencer really had a choice here or not.. Like how could you not even get one of those at your conference?

It seems to me like Microsoft is reprioritizing around Windows 10. Which financially probably makes a hell of a lot more sense. Allowing Valve/Steam to take over the PC gaming side while MS' game division has been running circles trying to catch Sony probably wasn't in the long term the smartest play for MS.
