i wish they would just use that money for something else.... you know, make their own games?

i honestly dont understand this, instead of buying third party exclusivity (mostly timed) why just not throw your money at making new studios? making new FIRST party games? yes, they have a few more studios. but it will never hurt to have even more

More studios?? They have 23 gane development studios, and 6 more for other stuff. How many do tthey possiblly need? They HAVE thrown their money at opening studios. They also hace more than Sony and Nintendo. They are all developing for the Xbox One, so if you think there will be a lack of 1st party games, you have another thing coming. 


yeah, but what were they doing last Gen?

this was floating around Neogaf for a couple a days now...very shady stuff(if true) if any of the VGC staff has time get back to us and tell us if this is for real when at E3.

I thought they paid Spike not to air Sony's E3 this year also.

Xbox One got no real third party support. PS4: Greatness Awaits. Xbox One: Fees Awaits.

Interesting, though Im very skeptical to believe this. Grain of salt.

E3 is gonna be interesting.

Oh Microshaft, relying on dirty tricks to get one over Sony. The worst thing is that the general gamer won't know anything about this. Since they don't visit sites like this. Microsoft is afraid of Sony.

Why is this a dirty trick?

It sounds like MS is just paying companies to advertise their games only on their console. Isn't that common practice nowadays?

I can smell the desperation on Microsoft. They have only themselves and their greed to blame.

ha!... this is war!.. how will sony respond?..


You know how Sony could respond in the most effective way? At the end of their conference they say something like: "We have listened to our fans and there will be no DRM on the PS4!".

BOOM! Full bullseye in Microsofts face.

People shouldn't be fooled. I don't want to see a muiltiplat be advertised as a "exclusive".

Neither do I. Sony does it and so does MS, but it seems like you're just attacking MS.

 

Furthermore, I notice you said this. "Microsoft is afraid of Sony."

Well you shouldn't underestimate your competition. Remember what happen when Sony underestimated the 360? Cost them billions I believe.
