Yeah, man, I'm worried too. I love, love backwards compatability - so much in fact I wish Sony would take a page from Microsoft's playbook - but things are bad on the software front. Phil Spencer seems like a cool guy, but at this point I think he's just paying Xbox owners lip service. We've heard a lot of talk about building up studios and not relying on timed exclusives, but that's still the reality in which we live.

Xbox offers a lot of third party content, yes, but since that content is usually available on PC, PS4, and in some cases WiiU, why invest in the Xbox ecosystem? First party studios are either ghosts of their former selves (Rare), closed entirely (Lionhead), or turning out sub-par experiences (343).

I'm super excited for Cuphead, ReCore, Halo Wars 2, Gears of War 4, and Scalebound. But those games are either timed exclusives, delayed, or complete mysteries.
