I'm talking about the future, yes they have games right now but it doesn't look like they'll have much after a couple of years other than Forza 7, Halo 6, and Rare's second game.

So because they didn't announce much now means they don't have anything for 2017/8 and beyond? You know that there will be more E3s in those years, right?

Microsoft and even Sony have announced their games 1-2 years before they release, it's normal. And if that's not enough, check my post above talking about Microsoft's recent "14 first party games", all they have is Halo 6, Forza 7, Rare's Second game, and 1 unknown game. That is for late 2017/2018 and beyond. I'm saying, there will be a time probably 2018 when there will barely be any exclusives out on Microsofts system.

I find it very unlikely they didn't have any exclusives planned for 2018 with new hardware releasing and all.

Yeah, but there's also been a lot of criticism of that approach, so it's certainly possible they've decided not to announce things too far in advance anymore.

Besides, let's not forget that a game doesn't need to be 1st party to end up exclusive.

Eh, not really, they got a lot criticism for showing CGI trailers and no gameplay. And even if they get criticism, I doubt it'll matter because they'll care more about advertising the game.

And of course there might be third party but western 3rd party exclusives are pretty much extinct as those are too costly like Titanfall because Sony is the industry leader. And Sony pretty much has japanese 3rd party exclusives tied down to their system.

Which rules are we using? Games on other platforms don't count? Indies don't count? Games on PC don't count?

I just think Microsoft is losing the interest they once had. A lot of their exclusives can be played on pc too or are timed. Very few good exclusives that can only be played on xbox coming out.

PlayStation gets great new imaginative IP's and Japanese titles that Xbox gamers just don't care for. Dreams, Persona 5, Detroit, No Man's Sky. Xbox gamers just don't care about that kind of thing. They're getting what they want, the third party titles (titanfall, cod, battlefield, fifa, madden, fallout) and the staple first party franchises (halo,forza,gears)

Xbox gamers aren't going to be complaining because the lineup is great for them.

It's a really awesome skill to know what 20+ million people are thinking.

No indies, just Xbox (Console) Exclusives.

Didn't MS state at E3 is where they like to show games that have actual release dates and Gamercon for new games coming out. I believe MS has been doing this for a number of years. Yes, Sony is getting a lot of exclusive from non first party developers but then again they have Japan.

Its interesting that people keep throwing in indie developers along side established developers in one sentence. Both companies have exclusive indie efforts so to dismiss MS efforts and champion the other seems kind of off. Either way, both OEM probably have plenty in the pipe for years to come.

No PC games either? In that case, it has no XB1 exclusives so clearly MS are running out of exclusives.
