Resistance is not being made anymore imo, I have no opinion on Killzone, Uncharted seems to be growing not shrinking, LBP has had only 2 games on home consoles.

Now if we talk about all those MS exclusives?

4 Gears games, with Epic it was a healthy franchise but may shrink with different developers.

6 Halo games total, with 4 of them last generation and seems to have shrunk since Halo 3.

3 Fable games and like uncharted seems to be growing not shrinking.

5 recent Forza games, which seems to be shrinking since forza 3.

Zelda depends a lot more on platform viability imo. SS was released late and therefore got little sales.

Same with Mario.

Sony doesn't need Halo. FYI, the next Halo comes out next year so no matter what everyone will be waiting for it. Sony owners dont really have to wait for first party since Sony dishes out enough of it every year. Can't wait to play halo myself but thats kind of the point of the topic. When it comes to making exclusives in terms of the amount of high level titles pumped out Sony dominates Microsoft on almost every front outside of Halo.

You miss the point. I dont value sonys titles that highly. So as far as Iim concerned microsoft put out higher quality titles. Killer instinct, halo, forza, gears, horizon, project spark, fable, kinect sports, then as far as im concerned they are better at getting 3rd party exclusives like quantum break, alan wake, titanfall, lost odyssey, ryse, sunset overdrive etc. Nothing sony has do I value that highly except god of war and uncharted. I didnt really like tlou and games like gt are falling behind imo. its opinion. The thread title is stated as fact when it should be opinion. 

Although Sony is strong in Japan it's still the 360 that got all the amazing shoot 'em ups. That's all I want so the exclusives (not first party...) on the 360 are better for me. Who cares about "quality"? Especially when it's based on hype/ads/mass success/"critics". You can't say Hollywood is the greatest quality in movies but it's the most successful because it does what the masses want.

Dude, I love all of those games. On second thought, maybe if we omit Fable and Horizon . I'll take Forza as a secondary to GT any day had I not had a Playstation.). The title has a point though, when its left up to Microsoft third party exclusives slow down really quickly for Microsoft. Microsoft will have nowhere to hide in the end unless they strengthen their first party. This has always been their achillies heel and even the media has questioned them about this and they have responded. You might be satisfied and thats awesome but a lot of people arent just yet with Microsofts track record. Nintendo and Sony have GOTY level titles almost every year and Microsoft lags if Halo and Gears arent at the forefront. They need to switch it up and start being creative. The shooter genre isnt everything. It definitely helps but it isnt everything.

Xbox doesn't have much variety. The target audience of Xbox is perfectly content with shooters like Halo and the occasional Fable or Forza, so Microsoft has almost no need to expand IPs, as disappointing as that is.

Xbox didn't need to have exclusives to be more successful. They started with better momentum and were the 3rd party console of choice. For any online/social games, the Party Chat option remained the leading differentiator.

The PS3 just had to keep making quality 1st party games to stay relevant, and then catch up to XBL on online services which it did in every area except patch sizes and party chat (both issues that were stamped out with PS4 with improvement over the x360 XBL).

Meanwhile XBO XBL is subpar to X360 XBL at launch.

Maybe 360 didn't in the last few years with retail, but XBLA certainly gave it the variety. 360 gamers certainly bought more then whatever was selling on PSN. Hell look at Minecraft for 360 and you see that it ain't all shooters for us.

That said, X1 has been great so far. Reintroducing Killer Instinct, Project Spark, 3rd party new IPs like Ryse, Quantum, Sunset Overdrive, while keeping up with the holy quad (Halo, Forza, Gears, and Fable). I get it that X1 is losing to PS4, but people should at least give credit to MS's efforts in games this gen.

Unlike others even as a Sony fan I give MS the credit they deserve! They are really pumping out the exclusive games right now and annoucning them as well. They are very diverse right now. Doesn't matter if they are 3rd or 1st party they are still exclusive to the XB1. And they have more games coming so they are on a roll on that front!
