Xbox Exec Responds To Claims That Microsoft Has Too Few Exclusives In 2017

The bigger problem might be there wasn't some sort of big AAA action game. I mean Halo Wars 2, Cuphead, and Forza 7 is notable content, but a tentpole action game just isn't there and popular among the Xbox audience. I mean that's the style of games that keep getting bundled with Xbox, AC:Origins, Shadow of War, etc.

Last year X1 had Gears 4 and Quantum Break. But nothing like that this year. Unfortunately, Crackdown 3 couldn't fill that void and is downplayed for modest visuals. Xbox having at least one notable action game a year would change the perception some.

One generation defining exclusive would do the trick.
