I don't think they organize them by studios. I think they're just "nintendo"

@ slimebeast

So you're saying that MS 1st Party Studios have more"quality" exclusives than Nintendo and Sony? Remember key words here are 1ST Party, which doesn't include Gears 1 or 2.

 

 lol no. Perhaps average quality of MS studios is better, but of course their 1st party department is weak.

This is the area where there's still a lot to do for MS in this gen - to try to beat Sony's 1st party production.

IMO MS should spend a billion or two on shopping some good game developers.

I disagree. MS dissolved their internal studios at the right time (right before this economic down turn), that's a lot of employees sitting on the payroll working on 12 month + projects. The way they saw it, there is no point to keep those studios when you can outsource it to other studios (epic).

 

@CGI-Quality

Are you saying Sony 1st Party Studios have more "quality" exclusives than Nintendo and MS? Remember keywords here are 1ST Party, which doesn't include LBP or Resistence series

I doubt they have more ips...... but more studios is probably right...

Nintendo owns 50% of Hal studios.
Nintendo does a fair amount of outsourcing projects to third parties, like with mario party and smash bros.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
