Im looking at it from the outside because i dont have nor im planning to purchase an Xbox One but just wondering, what else could they have made with that obsene amount of money.

 

Like i said, the money came from the Xbox division. Thats a fact, whether Minecraft stays multi or not. They could have used the money for other purposes.

The money came from the Xbox division? How is this a fact?

Just because they purchased Minecraft doesent mean we lost X1 exclusives. Is the Gaikai purchase the reason PS4 lacks notable exclusives this holiday?

 

Maybe the purchase of Minecraft is why you havent had an exclusive since November of last year with The Master Chief Collection? Food for thought.

 

Still, i would have prefered a thousand times that Sony would have used that money to create more new IPs instead of buying Gaikai.

Youre deflecting and ignoring my point. Do you think the Gakai purchase is the reason PS4's holiday line up is weak? Answer that question.

There have been some exclusives on X1 but nothing the masses consider notable. Frankly, outside of Bloodborne (3rd party developed) this is considered a shitty year for Sony 1st party.

MS has their exclusives coming up and the PS4 looks weak in comparison this holiday.

Anyhow, we got lots of exclusives from both Sony and MS last gen but the reality is many if not most bombed. This is why both companies release fewer 1st party games this gen. Which is okay because 3rd parties also give us plenty to play.
