If they want to change their strategy then its great but I highly doubt.

Sure you don't build a first party stable overnight, but in MS' case when they hell are they going to start?

Oh, this post  again. Please. In comparison to Sony?

  • Geurilla Cambridge: Only releases PSN games/Vita games. Now only working on a morpheus game
  • London Studio: See Guerilla Cambridge
  • Northwest Studio: See London Studio
  • Media Molecule: Moved to Vita/Move development only. LBP3 metas 73% and bombed.
  • PixelOPUS: Levy same critique as directed to Twisted Pixel/Press Play
  • Japan Studio - Makes PSN/Vita games only, except for Team Ico who's haven't released a title in a decade. The studio head wants out.
  • Polyphony Digital: GT6 3M sales.  nuff said.
  • Naughty Dog: Works on endless Uncharted games
  • Bend Studio: Downgraded from releasing console games to portable only. Not allowed to make new IP.
  • Sony San Diego: Works on endless MLB games.
  • Sony Santa Monica: Shut down team making new IP and fired all employees, works on endless god of war games, the last one was a real stinker
  • Geurilla Games: Works on endless Killzone games, the last one was a real stinker
  • Evolution Studios: Released new IP which stunk , studio gutted. Only releases DLC for a bad game now.
  • Suckerpunch: Released lowest rated inFamous, then studio gutted, lost 40% of staff.
  • SCE Liverpool: Shut down after phenomally bad output
  • Zipper Interactive: Shut down after phenomally bad output
  • Incognito Entertainment: Shut down after phenomally bad output
  • BigBig Studios: Shut down after phenomally bad output
  • Sony Online Entertainment: Shut down, all IP's sold off, going multiplatform under a new owner
  • And for the grand fromage, Sony did spend $380 million on Gakai which is a significant game related investment, and so far's biggest contribution is to port most Playstation exclusives to tablets and streaming devices.

Who would have thought that in 2015 Gears of War 2, PGR3 and Forza 4 would still be exclusive to Xbox 360, but you can play The Last of Us, Uncharted, god of war, infamous, killzone and ratchet and clank on any Android 4. or equivilent.

In 2017, do you know where your PS4 exclusives are going to be?

 

No one claims MS first party has a perfect history, but they're certainly no less mis-managed than Sony Computer entertainment.
