If they want to pay for the marketing of a game that was going to release on their console anyway, and is probably a sequel to a game that has already released on PS4/One so the fanbase for it likely already has one console or the other... well that's just them wasting money. Now when they have a major AAA unannounced exclusive... I'll be interested! |
By that logic Sony is also wasting even more money on their marketing rights, but anyway neither MS or Sony are wasting their money.

Yeah, I can't get excited over this. Microsoft threw some money at a publisher so it can secure exclusive marketing rights? Who cares? This is exactly the kind of stuff Xbox management says it wants to move away from and yet it keeps doing it. Buying timed exclusivity and marketing rights is just a band-aid for a serious problem. It's time for Microsoft to address the cause and not the symptom. I don't mean to get so hot over a rumor, but I desperately need some signal from Xbox that they want me as a customer. |
What are you talking about? Heard of Quantum Break? Sunset Overdrive? Crackdown 3? Sea of Thieves? They are making their own games already.
| Uabit said: Will this one get cancelled too? |
How can MS possibly cancel a game that doesn't even belong to them? Terrible joke.

Hopefully MS gets advertising rights for the other Bethesda games in the future as well

And there won't be 4 other games for MS to push? I think the whole exclusive advertising thing is kinda dumb, but its good for bundles. |
I think bundles is a good reason for advertising rights.
| Farsala said: I really hope for Elder Scrolls VI, we are past due a new release. |
I could see MS getting advertising rights for this.

They have said not to expect it anytime soon. It's gonna take at least another 1.5 to 2 years. They got lots of projects going on atm. |
If I recall Bethesda is working on 3/4 new IP's.
| taus90 said: Next Battlefield? |
Battlefield Bad Company 3 would be an awesome announcement with of course MS advertisement.
| Zoombael said: Smaller exhibition space than ever, no Halo 6 and now marketing for an unanounced 3rd party AAA that comes to every other platform? Man, Microsoft really knows how to entice the crowd. |
Umm all of those 3rd party AAA games that Sony has are going to X1 as well.
Proud to be a Californian.
