| vivster said: Microsoft had 3 generations of showing a strong 1st party lineup, they never delivered. There is absolutely no reason to believe it's gonna be different this time around. We've been hearing about MS beefing up their 1st party for 15 years now. |
In the past MS had brilliant console exclusives through partnerships which was a major factor in my ownership of the OG Xbox and 360. The lack of 1st party teams was really not noticable back then.
Xbox- Knights of the Republic, Jad Empire, Fable, Morrowind, Halo (Dreamcast titles which werent on PS2/GC like Shemnue, Jet Set Radio)
360 started out extremely strong. In the second half of 2007 alone they had Mass Effect, Bioshock & Halo as exclusives.
I think people have forgotten how distinct of a gaming space Xbox used to be, particularly for western RPGs.
Its only post 2009 that things really started to slow down and developers like Bioware who mostly operated in a PC/Xbox space started to go multiplatform.
