Money doesn't fix regular mistakes, but EA going Sony exclusive is never going to happen. MS wouldn't allow it, besides I don't think EA's own licensee partners (NFL, FIFA, NHL, Star Wars/Disney) would be happy with that either. 

I think Scorpio will be great too not just because it'll have the best console hardware but precisely because MS learned some hard lessons this gen, just Sony did last gen. They will be better in the long run by learning from this gen. 

We may very soon discover if the new xbox will have enough traction... there is no guarantee that they will get all games from EA, if their new console plummet they may lose support, but if it sells good enough and/or it's easy to port from PS counterpart or PC them they will get games. And you gone from MS not allowing themselves to lose because they have a lot of money to a very specific point of not being without 3rd party support.

 

What hard lesson have they learned? They seem to be doing just the same they always done as a company. And their internal studios are even weaker than they were on X360, 

Having better hardware for one once again will help MS, MS has been doing a lot of good things actually since Spencer has become the head honcho, I'd expect that to continue. Neo is a nice upgrade, but Scorpio is gonna be a real beast. 

For me personally I don't really give much a crap about either of their 1st party games. I like Uncharted and Halo is OK I guess, but the rest .... meh. I buy Sony or MS for third party content because they make 95%+ of the worthwhile games on the platform for me. 

Actually my favorite first party game from either one this gen is Killer Instinct (tons of fun). Sunset Overdrive was neat too.
