Forums - Microsoft - What is left to steal?

What is left to steal it is a simple enough question. Though I must admit I am drawing a complete blank, and I am kind of at the point where I think maybe there isn't anything left. We know from years past that Microsoft loves to steal exclusive franchises or games from Sony. Most especially at a certain upcoming event. Obviously it helps to blur the lines between the rivals, but one could also suspect its a veiled attack to denegrate the competition. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what Microsoft could steal granted that it is feasible.

Please do not troll this thread. Please do not make this into a rant thread. Please no propaganda, or veiled insinuations. Please provide a thoughtful answer not just a name. I want to know exactly why you think that something is possible, and what you think the response would be. With a good conversation we could perhaps muddle out the likely culprits if there are any, and then as a group we could see if we were close or off the mark. Final Fantasy XIII wasn't really that huge a surprise last year. Members had supposed it for years, and the same for others. I want to know where the thinking is going.

Think of this thread as a seed that can feed other discussions. My best inspiration was that perhaps Microsoft might secure a timed exclusive for the new Castlevania title. Playing Konami for fair and equal treatment. I also think it is likely that Microsoft did lobby heavily to get Metal Gear Solid 4, and its a possibility that they could walk away with a six month exclusive as a consolation prize.

versus XIII or the next Kindom Hearts game that is console not portable



Diablo 3! console versions!!!!



PSWii60 owner! woot


Get your Portable ID!

i wanted to say Yakuza but I don't that would do much, even if it is kinda popular in Japan. Is it possible for ms to start stealing away more talented game developers from their companies, or pick up anyone that got fired (like the doa guy?, i dunno his actual name...)



Currently Watching - Naruto, One Piece

Waiting For - Skyrim, Mass Effect 3

I hope every non first party PS3 exclusive gets ported to the 360.

Kingdom Hearts 3 maybe, though who knows where that game is headed. Lost Planet 2 possibly. Dead Rising 2.

if that happens it's going to be the other way around too even gears may get ported like ninja gaiden too even if was published by microsoft epic it's third party.



VSXIII, and thats it. Kojima games are always exclusive so he can get the best out of his games. -ShadowSoldier AKA Captain Bravo

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Nope. Your forgetting Kingdom Hearts, Personna. Two big if not huge franchises(esp. Kingdom Hearts).
