Its not that they get "get out of jail free card". Sony can actually develop their own games even when they commission games. Name a AAA hot IP outside of Fable or Foza that Microsoft has been give credit for that was seen as a hit. If you can find the right answer the argument that they are depended on third party for IP's would make more sense. Sony and Nintendo can both make their own IP's. Nintendo for some reason does not, but they have a wealth of potential.

I like how you start by saying there is no exception, then go on to explain that there is an exception and why it exists for you. Thanks.

I never said that to begin with. You're twisting my words and of course I (like you) am fallible so mistakes can happen. Regardless, I am stating that I want Microsoft to have the advantages that Sony has (Because it would force Sony to truly work strategically). If they continue to depend on third party instead of making their own IP's themselves they will have another drought just like they did the 360 era. There is no problem with commissioning third party, but if you dont make your own stuff, it becomes obvious that either you wont or your can't. Does this make anymore sense to you?
