Mass Effect wasn't exclusive to begin with , besides Microsoft really relying too much on Timed exclusivety rather than first party stuff this gen.


the mass effect is actually quite true. Bioware thought it was easier just to make the 360 vers. Too much though you say? this too much will sell much more black ops on the 360 because of timed exclusivity, Bioshock etc etc, MS is playing cards very cleverly

i'm not talking about Mass effect exclusity , i'm talking about everything, plus Mass Effect was ... "exclusive" because Microsoft bought their publishing rights for sometime now, only then when EA bought them , they became multiplatform , but even now they still can't publish Mass Effect 1 outside of PC and Xbox 360 , though Bioware found a way around it , the sneaky bunch.

no bioware didnt, EA did. EA is multi multi multi, if Bioware was still indie then it wouldnt be on ps3.

Microsoft doesn't need to invest in any new IP!

everyone will be busy playing Kinect next year



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Oh yes they would, bioware is very supportive of the PS3, as is evident from their talk against activision.

Well, back in 2009 activision "threatened" Sony that they would stop making games for the PS3(wish they did) if Sony didn't reduce their console's price. However many developers called this bullsh*t, including Bioware, who took Sony's side, even when Mass effect 2 was not announced for the PS3. 



Reasonable on 15 December 2010

As someone who's just purchased a 360 I certainly hope to see more new IP.  My only real concern with the console, which held me back from getting one for a while, was the relative paucity of what I think of as true exclusives - Halo, Gears, etc. - vs what I thought of (still do TBH) as 'maybe' exclusives, like Bioshock, Mass Effect, GTA Episodes, etc.

I mean, the overall library is strong, and there are a lot of good exclusives, but still, I would like to see a couple more IPs being tried by MS.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Lyrikalstylez on 15 December 2010

Dude there is alot of IP's MS can reboot, they just are being dumb

COME ON RELEASE MORE EXCLUSIVES ALREADY, WE ARE DYING FOR SOME!!!!!!!!!!!
