The fact that Halo is it's only exclusive, is even more ironic.
It's ironic after all the Xbox holiday exclusives PR and how much Xbox fans used that, who would imagine an outcome where the Xbox One has 0 fully exclusive games.
Considering Halo 2 saved the endeavor with the Xbox and spawned the 360, you would think Microsoft and it's fans would recognize the benefit of big exclusive IP's.
This is pretty much a rewrite of something BBC just wrote.

That's pretty shady.
"Microsoft thinks they can just do anything they want claim it's for the gamers and people follow."
Like the Xbox One unveiling didn't make that clear enough.
We heard this argument before these consoles launched. The PS4 made it pretty clear consoles aren't dead and PC gaming isn't a threat, it's just a different market.
Considering Steam Machines were a complete flop and Microsoft's track record for ambitious ideas translating into nothing, this is a terrible idea.
Yeah, pretty much all the previews have been extremely positive.
No, the companies are afraid of PlayStation platforms.
You realise both of Sony's competitors have came up with hybrid systems in an effort to say relevant.
That's quite the coincidence.
People wanted competition, they got it and now they don't like the outcome, they pretend standard consoles are the problem.
The Xbox One is the first console in history to have 0 fully exclusive games.
"We are more committed to our console and the future of that console than we have ever been."
That doesn't make any sense.
You've taken exclusive games from one platform and put them on another making them console exclusives. That is by definition having less commitment to the Xbox One than you previously did.
Gran Turismo Sport is the biggest killer app. I surprised so many people dismiss it.
But I agree, NMS could be huge also.
GDC is coming up shortly.
We'll probably get confirmation and the price of PSVR.
Can't wait.
Right now, Microsoft seems as clueless as they were when they unveiled the system.
Sorry, I wasn't meaning to respond to you.
Yeah, if this was the plan, they should have said something along time ago.
It's kind of unfair to the people who own a capable PC and bought an Xbox One for an upcoming game.
I don't think it's likely to pass the PS2. But they'll make a run at it. If VR takes off though, it could.
"Windows gaming project manager Peter Orullian said shipping games simultaneously will become the norm for Microsoft."

The article is even called "Why you don't need an Xbox One". I submitted it here but for some reason it isn't approved yet after almost 2 days.
"But in some ways, this move is less about overall market success and more about figuring out how to position Xbox (which Microsoft's upper management and shareholders do not care deeply about) as an important pillar of strength for Windows 10 (about which they care very, very much)."
I completely agree. It's about Windows 10 absorbing Xbox. That's why they care about Active Users, it's why all of their current moves mainly benefit Windows 10 and w...
I just gave you one, Halo 2 brought about the 360.
