Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Spencer: We Have Just Signed Exclusives That Won’t Be Ready for 2-3 Years, No Point in Showing Them

Well I said too late in the sense that Xbox has never made them any money.  The first two consoles were alright for consumer relations but the Xbox One has been a money sink AND a PR abomination.  Of course, they could keep dumping money in a red-returns-only product but it just doesn't make sense to this not a business man.

Microsoft stated it is a Multi-billion dollar profitable business.

Thank you MS. I hate seeing games i cant play for another 2 years. Unlike your competition who shows games that havnt even started development. Good decision to announce when there close. We dont want another Scalebound.
This year is looking good with 6 1st party titles coming in 2017. Keep up the good work and ignore the internet trolls. You were voted the best E3 for a reason.

The competiton shows games early but they are good for it by pedigree. ;) micosoft can't say that.

Like Shen Mue 3 or FF VII (Now episodic! Why you ask? Because F*ck you, that's why!)



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

This doesn't affect your point in any way, but I just need to point out and laugh that at the bottom of that article it says "Sony might be leading the race in terms of console units sold, but there are tens of millions more Xbox Live subscribers out there"

Oh Windows Central.

Well does it really matter who makes them? We are still getting games and if its a hit MS could just create a Studio like they did with Halo, and Gears.

But you have to remember that gears wasn't first party from the start. Micosoft was publishing third party to to keep it exclusive. There is no development standard (which is traditional in he console race) or beloved ms studios outside of turn ten for ms.

There are three diferenct types of exclusives you can do.  You get a talented studio to make one of your IPs, you do an exclusive deal like Sunset overdrive or Gears, or you have your 1st party.  You can consider them to be 1st and 2nd party since they are making games exclusive for your system.  When all said and done if you own the IP then it really does not matter if the studio is in house.  Really if exclusives are what people are so pinned about then the developer is only one piece.  The main piece is that MS owns the IP.



Halo 6, Forza Horizon 4, State of Decay 2, Ori, Sea of theives are next year for sure.

Was about to correct you and say Ori 2 was announced for this year, but you're right... wow 2017 has been sparse.

Not really, Path of exiles, battle ground unkown, cup head, halo wars 2, city skylines, forza 7, crack down 3 and more. Plus all the superior multiplatform games.

I was saying sparse in terms of exclusives, not timed/multiplatform titles.

Forza 7, Crackdown 3, Halo Wars 2 and Super Lucky are it for the year I think.

They are still not planned for playstation for 2017 and some of them didn't even mention playstation.
