Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft, your strategy is NOT working and I'm growing tired.

I don't think MS has much to show at this stage to be honest, I expect more third party exclusive since MS seems to be concentrating on buying games and DLC from third party rather than expanding their internal studios. This isn't bad really, and they've certainly gotten some fantastic games this way in the past.

But man! The lack of love for SO4 is just insulting :(

@OP

M$ is selling more consoles than sony and are looking to place second this gen. I'd say whatever their strategy is, it worked for them.

well forza 3 and alan wake you should be excited about, as there obviously going to be great games particular forza 3 as many ppl prefer the game style in forza over gt.

if your a xbox fan theres plenty to keep hyped about imo. although i wouldnt count dlc into equasion.

 

DLC is always a tricky issue.

Sometimes it delivers, sometimes it doesn't. It's the kind of thing I wouldn't put up on a list.

  I have yet to come across any DLC that delivers on any system.  I have had expansions that I liked (bliz style expansions in particular) but I have never found DLC worth a damn in any game thus far.  I would almost always rather have a dev like Rockstar working on GTA5 or a full featured new game like San Andreas then a kinda mediocre DLC set in the same world.

You don't even know yet how the GTA4 DLC will turn out.

But hey, since it's exclusive to the console being sold by a corporation you hate, it must be mediocre, right?
