So during the first couple years of the 360 it was awsome, Mirosoft was pumping out exclusive after exclusive after exclusive, but after that it slowly dwindled away. Right now it looks like the same thing is happening with the X1, here are the actual first party exclusives for the X1:
-Kinect Sports Rivals...idk how many X1s that's gonna sell.
-Forza Motorsport 5-Microsoft's big racing app for the next gen, great that its coming from a first party studio.
-Killer Instinct-Idk if you can include this game under a first party title because its not being made by Rare, its being made by a third party studio, so this one is pretty much up in the air.
That is it, that is all of Microsoft's first party games for the X1. Remedy is not owned by Microsoft, therefore they are not a first party studio, therefore Quantum Break is not a first party game. They also don't own Epic Games. Everything else is third party, and you have to think how long can they just keep buying out third party games. With the increased cost of the games to make and how hard it is for Microsoft and Sony to actually turn a profit, I don't think they can keep it up forever. Especially when you consider Microsoft is selling the X1 at a loss, which means its gonna be even harder to turn a profit, which means less money to spend on third party games. So what do you guys think, are we seeing history repeat itself or will the exclusves keep coming for the whole life of the X1.
