Just because they can afford it doesn't mean it's cost effective. Which is really what twintail is alluding to. With PS4 basically dominating the console market and third party sales (check out the numbers for Batman AK for a quick reference) there is no way it is cost effective for MS nor the developers to take the money to make a title exclusive.

There really is no alternative and that's actually okay. In fact I'd say it is great. Perhaps we'll see more diversity from MS beyond the Halo/Gears/Forza rehash going forward and that can only be a good thing for the Xbox brand.

I wrote what's cost effective couple of pages back.

Perhaps we'll see more diversity now from MS?

Have you ever visited X360's Arcade marketplace? The place where we got State of Decay, Iron Brigade, Shadow Complex, Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, Mr Splosion Man, etc... maybe small downloadable titles didn't count back then.

By the way MS has been supporting small titles (Arcade/Indies) on Marketplace since 2004, on the original Xbox.
