| S.T.A.G.E. said: Microsoft has gone all year without a console defining exclusive. Forget that....they havent even landed a generation defining IP. First gen they bought bungie and got Halo and second gen they funded Gears. They need to find a third party since thats where they get their genre defining exclusives from and quick. I heard E3 will show a new IP. Lets hope its true. |
This can go both ways. On one hand, you could say that other Xbox exclusives (except the big 3) don't sell well because they aren't good games, but on the other hand you can wonder if the general Xbox audience even wants other exclusives than Halo, Forza or Gears. Microsoft marketed the crap out of Quantum Break, but that eventually didn't sell nearly as well as one of the regular titles would.
Personally, I don't think Microsoft can turn tides with any kind of exclusives. Gamers aren't gonna switch from the PS to the Xbox because of 1 or 2 games, and sales show that current owners want the usual suspects. And if you ask me, there's probably gonna be a new Forza with Scorpio, and that'll be the big exclusive. Except the ones we already know of: Sea of Thieves, Crackdown, State of Decay,...
