1. first party lacks variety/effort.
imo, first party is as much about offering people a reason to buy a console as it is about making a profit off the game. ms seems to only care about making profit. they don't put much effort into any game that that don't think can sell 10m units. blockbusters are great and all but i also need games that might not be massive sellers but add variety to a consoles lineup.
2. a complete lack of direction.
ms doesn't seem to put much effort into their vision for xbox and flipflops too quickly. sometimes it is a good thing to cut and run from a bad idea but ms does it too often. it makes it hard to trust that anything they say is coming will ever come or that something that does come wont' be abandon.
3. xbox exclusive*.
ms is the king of the exclusive*. it's deceptive. it's lying. it's bullshit.
