I think that depends more on Sony than Microsoft.  MS is already burning exorbitant funds to do anything to keep up.  But Sony so far has been pretty merciless with taking away MS's advantage in the 3rd party space while being kinda easy going with the first party.  CoD was just the latest blow.  If they continue to pursue that aggressively  and drop major exclusives as they go, I think things will only get worse for MS after Halo 5.  And I think Sony will; 2016 is looking like it could be especially brutal.  I don't think they want MS just beaten for this gen, I think they want MS on the way out of the industry altogether.  

Great to see Until Dawn at #7

Oh I agree with that and that is part of my point.The problem is that MS does not understand that fact and thus they will keep focusing only on games like Halo,Forza and  Gears.They are not even bubdling Tomb Raider eventhough they paid for the deal and you will see the other games not mentioned besides Crackdown get ignored pretty much like Sunset.They had a bundle for Sunset,but killed it because they released bundles for AC and COD which were cheaper.

No need of a game being thi immatre. be careful if your kids are playing this. I heard it's just an interactive movie and I think that it should be out on other platforms as well not just ps4

Quality Until Dawn review, I for one am rethinking my purchase. Trolls are always out early for Sony exclusives.

Yes but Microsoft are trying to stay relevant and branch out with QB, Scalebound etc but its not enough and they need to start getting third party deals like they used to.

There's a free copy of Madden 16 being given away with every PS4 from 25th - 30th of this month. Let's see how it does on Amazon.

Yeah, but the problem is they aren't number 1 anymore, not even close.  And the worse it gets, the more expensive and elusive third party deals and marketing rights will get.  I wouldn't be surprised at all if Fallout 4 is the last Bethesda Game Studios game to have an MS marketing agreement if this continues and that would be a huge blow now that CoD's deal is also gone. 

Their dire first exclusives situation is of their own making though.  They let their exclusives lineup and emphasis decay throughout the second half of Gen 7 while Sony and Nintendo shored theirs up (difference being Sony didn't take amnesia pills like Nintendo and completely forget how to market and build hype :P ).  And now MS is paying the price.  They're trying to get back in it and diversify, but that takes time and time is what they don't have too much of.  And it doesn't help that Sony is doing the same thing with games like Horizon, Deep Down, and Bloodborne.   

I came here for Ryng's "legs" comments.

Put the bit you're quoting in "quotes". Your post made no sense to me until I went hunting for the user review on Amazon you're quoting. Don't make me do that.

I don't see why MS can't still get marketing exclusivity rights, especially for games with high USA/UK appeal. They'll just need to pay more for those rights. What they will never get is a multi-plat to go exclusive like RoTR. No publisher in their right mind is going to diss the PS4 user base with an existing IP. MS will have to purchase exclusive new IP, but even then publishers will want to be able to put the IP onto PC as part of the cost of missing out on seeling to that PS4 user base.

Meanwhile, aside from FPS, Sony wouldn't have too much difficulty in getting console exclusivity for some existing IP if they really wanted to, or full exclusivity for new IP. I hope they don't do the former, but it wouldn't surprise me if they did that for one or two more existing IP in the future.  Would be kinda karmically funny if Sony snagged console exclusivity for the next Tomb Raider game. There's a danger Sony could do that if RoTR doesn't meet sales expectations on Xb one.
