Opinion: Is Microsoft Running Out Of Exclusives?

The problem with your opinion is that there isn't enough information.  That statement alone only tells you what is currently in the pipeline.  You have no idea if this statement is in relation to what will be coming in the next 1,2 or 5 years or not.  You have no clue what is being planned for any specific timeframe after these projects are completed or if there are already other projects in the planning stages that are not ready to be announced or greenlit.

You are acting as if the manger gave you a definitive list for a specific period of time which is not correct if you read the interview.  Bias is when you add your own opinion into a statement with no other information then what you THINK is true.  The OP thread is based on nothing more than an opinion that MS only has 14 projects that they are doing within a 5 year timeframe which is a bias opinion with no factual information to back it up.

 

Last but not least, why are people compare exclusive output by MS studio to every exclusive coming to the PS4 and making a comparison.  If anything would it not be apples to apples if you compared Sony exclusives to MS exclusives when judging the OEM output.

Video games take a long time to make. As I pointed out in an earlier post, any game that they started making after that statement was made, probably woudn't even be shown until E3 2018 at the earliest. That would mean a huge dip in their first and second party output after the end of 2017, since they didn't appear to be making much to replace their current roster of games once they launched.

The number she gave is the number of (what we thought were first/second party) games currently in development. That isn't very many when you consider the number of them that are due out in the next 9-12 months.

You need to look up the definition of bias. Because that is NOT what bias is. Then, after that, you need to go read the OP. Which says nothing about the next 5 years.

So, for tonights homework;

1. Look up bias. Read the definition, and examples.

2. Read the OP from start to finish. Actually do that twice, just for good meassure.
