I can't disagree with your comment and neither can others if they are honest. I can't name one single player AAA title that is an Xbox1 exclusive that has gotten top reviews, awards, or considered one of the best games this generation. Don't look for any such game coming out this year either.

Now if you like MP games, you may find several that many consider mediocre but others may consider to be great. Since I prefer single player games, the Xbox1 has been a failure and I don't believe Spencer and MS has a clue. All the great vibes from the Xbox360 days are gone.

Remember those days it was mostly third party exclusives games that made the 360 great. Once MS stop getting those and it became fewer being more timed exclusives, they have not had an answer. The truth is, MS had not an cannot make those types of games. The studios they have bought does not elicit great confidence that will change. Only time will tell. However, the problem they face is that gamers like me, who supported the Xbox up to Xbox1X will be standing on the side taking a wait and see approach next gen.

MS is going to have a tough time convincing gamers to buy their new machine after the debacle of the Xbox1 launch to where we are today with the lack of great AAA titles. Their best hope is a Sony misstep as they did with the PS3.

Would love to see the source for the information regarding the AAA games. Can't find reference to that anywhere.

Gears,halo,quantum break, sunset overdrive, inspire of what Sony fanboys say about state if Decay 2, it's a great game that people still play. Cup head was also solid. Halo wars 2 is great as well. There's plenty to play and more to come. Sony folks love their single player experiences so I understand that what MS brings wont really appeal to them, but that's why they own a ps4. No need to throw shade. IMO Sony doesnt have any great multiplayer games but it's all good.

Their actual 1st party has been fairly decent as far as quality, but the quantity hasn't been there at all. I expect most of the new studios to churn out good quality next gen.

SoT is probably their only low scoring 1st party game, and that seems to have made great strides last year. It suffered from the GaaS pitfalls we've seen from others, but it seems to be a success. Everything else you listed was 2nd/3rd party. Poor funding and lack of oversight on those titles still fall on MS though.

It's a two-part process for them. They've acquired talent to at least greatly improve quantity. Hopefully they match and exceed the 85ish metacritic scores we've seen that Turn 10, 343, and Coalition have hit. That's only half of their shortfall though.

I think they still need strong 2nd/3rd party games. As you pointed out, Crackdown, Recore, etc., aren't on the same level as Spiderman, Bloodborne, etc. Hopefully they see improvements in that area too.

See you at E3!

For one multiplayer releases are totally different to single player releases and content.

Your attack on MS is totally bull crap, Sony are good for there Singleplayer but they cant do multiplayer games at all very well. There are pros and cons of both machines and you failed to mention anything that sony do wrong. It must be great being on a site where you can vent your fanboy nonsense to other sony fanboys.

Actually playground games second studio and the initiative are both working on AAA games. Not all are AA.
