What exclusives did Microsoft buy this gen?

The only exclusives worthwhile on the 360 are Halo, Gears, and Forza...Microsoft didn't pay second parties to go multiplatfom, the devs simply couldn't ignore the 360's userbase.  Billions of dollars on Xbox One games? Doubtful, I'm not sure if you're aware or not but Microsoft's gaming division simply isn't profitable enough for what you're proposing. You're forgetting the fact that Xbox and Playstation are only small divisions for Sony and Microsoft, so neither will put their gaming divisions in a financial hole by spending billions on buying a huge dev. 

There's currently 0 hype for a Xbox 360 exclusive this year, absolutely none. Meanwhile PS3 is seeing Beyond Two Souls, The Last Of Us, Gran Turismo 6, Ni No Kuni, Tales Of Xillia, and God Of War Ascension. Other than Gears of War Judgement, what has Microsoft given you on your 360? You said the best games right? Where are they?  I'll give you a hint, there aren't many Xbox exclusives, third party games were better on the platform admittedly, but don't dare try to compare the two first parties, in all honesty the comparison is rather laughible.

When it comes to 1st party content it goes. Nintendo Handheld > Nintendo Console = Playstation > Microsoft.

Ok cool but I would be concerned about new Ips as well. Look at gears of war for instants Microsoft does not own the ip, but you can bet your

money that gears of war will stay an xbox exclusive. Microsoft probably doesn't even have to make a deal with epic. Epic can just make it exclusive

and know its going to do well, without microsoft having to give them more cash. So thats the thing once a game is exclusive as time goes on

microsoft probably dont have to spend any more money. As the developer will know this game will sell well on Xbox. Dead rising is an example

of a game I think came to the ps3 but it is looked as an Xbox game because it came to Xbox 360 first and sold well. Capcom may Decide to not

bring that ip to PS4. So basically new Ips will debut on Xbox and stay on Xbox. So I would be concerned. I want to play the best games and you

know microsoft is constantly checking with developers on what they are doing next and developers know this. They know they can get microsoft

to help them with their new Ip financially. Insomniac comes to mind, I actually like insomnaics work now they are making games for Xbox.

And that gets me excited to see what they are going to do. If what insomniac got cooking is something truly special you can bet microsoft will

snatch it up.

The thing is how many of these studios does Sony truly own. That has always been my concern with Playstation. I have been gaming since 1992.

Sega and Nintendo have their own games. Along come Sony and Playstation with some new Ips Ridge Racer, Tekken, Soul Calibur, Wipeout etc.

But I said to myself, Sony does not own any of these games. I said to myself one day a company with enough cash will compete with sony and get

these exclusives from playstation I said that to myself back in 1995 when the Psone first came out. Fast foward 10 years later to 2005 when Xbox

360 is released. I said to myself all microsoft have to do is get these games on Xbox and level the playing field and they did. So Now Sony have to

now pay out cash to get these games on PS3, or create their own studios to make up for those games that are no longer exclusive.

Naughty Dog is not owned by sony. If Microsoft were to approach Naughty Dog what would Naughty Dog do? That is what you have to think about

as a Playstation only gamer. Look at Insomniac. Did Microsoft approach them we dont know. All we know is that they are now making games for Xbox.

Will Ratchet and Clank go multiplatform Who knows. Time will tell.

Cool story bro, but Naughty Dog is actually owned by Sony if you actually did any research, and Guerilla Games, Media Molucule, Evolution Studios, Sucker Punch,  Polyphony Digital, SCE Japan Studios, Santa Montica, and etc. Most of PS3's exclusives are made by studios they own, and the rest are mostly JRPG's that will never sell well on Xbox 360. Also, Insomniac Games were ALWAYS Independant and were never Sony owned, so do research before spouting nonsense.

And you still haven't answered my question, what games have Microsoft given you for your 360 this year that're superior to the ones listed?....Don't worry, I'll wait. 

understandable but Gears does nothing for me honestly. I hate Unreal testosterone heavy looking characters. Not into racers so Forza is out(Don't like GT either) and any game that is just going to capitalize on gratuitous violence simply for the sake of it ala God of War. I like Artsy, story driven, compelling games. If MS has something in that vein in development then I will pay attention. Whether that will be enough to out strip what I know I'll like in the Sony camp has yet to be determined.

Relying purely on 3rd Parties was always a bad idea. Nintendo learned that early on, Sony figured it out just this gen, hope MS was paying attention. You can't trust anything about a 3rd party made exclusive anymore. Not only do many of them stand a chance of becoming Multiplat but you also have no control if and when the next entry in the game arrives. Epic can simply not make another gears as opposed to MS having complete control over if and when the next Halo comes etc.
