Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox 720: EA & Microsoft to announce exclusivity deal at April reveal – rumour

Sal.Paradise on 27 February 2013

Yeh...I wouldn't be surprised. The concept of timed exclusives is so obnoxious to me, but it's an unfortunate reality of the industry. I'd much rather the platform holder put that money into contracting a new exclusive game for their platform, rather than just paying to hold back a finished product on someone else's. Such a cynical business practice....

maybe MS is getting ready to put medal of honor past CoD. MS is good at marketing, if anyone can take down CoD its them, and the best way to do it would be through EA.


EA recently said they were done with Medal of Honor for the time being:

However, you may be on to something else.  Perhaps this is a push for Respawn Entertainment's new title.

They did not have more studios than Sony for this gen,that's why they created many studios for next gen.


Yes, they've had more studios than Sony. And they still do. Yet, they pumped way less content than their competitors.

At least, try wikipedia before replying. Or, you know... read some news?

They didn't

Sony had more studios than MS in this gen.

10 MS studios right now for this gen+FASA and Ensemble=12

Sony have 13 studios+Incognito,Liverpool,Zipper=16

+ Bungie (owned by Microsoft until they became independant in 2007), Carbonated Games (closed 2008) and ACES Game Studio (closed in 2009), among others I'm forgetting. 

I can inculde more for Sony if you wanna count small studios/a 1st party studios never make 360/PS3 games

You mean like Sony Bend for the PS3, which you did count.

We could go on and on like this. The point remains that Microsoft had plenty of studios and man power to create content for the 360, yet they barely did anything other than for their 3 main franchises: Halo, Forza and Fable.

With all these excessive Moneyhats coming from Xbox team at MS, I truly wonder what is their limit? Do the head honchos at MS really just let them dip their hands into their money coffers anytime the want? It can't be all that good for business (MS I mean) if every and anytime there is the slightest problem they throw huge wads of cash at whoever will take it. At least when Gamecube was out, and in last place, they summed up the second most amount of profits because they were not wasteful, priced competively, etc.

are we hating EA right now or are we loving it? I'm confused



“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.”

Why wouldn't they count?

You can count Fable: Journey if you want. This still won't change much. Lots of indies games on XBLA, but not that many first party titles.
