As someone stated, if they acquire EA, they could still leave some games as multiplat like they did with Minecraft. The games I think they'd keep as exclusives are Battlefield, Anthem, and maybe a KOTOR3 if it were to to happen. Battlefield would definitely make sense as an exclusive considering COD's lead platform is the playstation.
Simple, they own the rights to the game so the development has already been paid for. Doesn't matter now if the game sells 1 mil copies if more millions of people are already paying 10 bucks for a gaming service offered through xbox.
You're forgetting also about Microtransactions and DLC....there's still plenty of money to be had without having to drop 60 for a game. Thats 50 bucks left for dlc and microtransactions...
Halo 5 had the biggest launch in the franchises history.
Gears sold well, only ones I can recall not selling too well was ryse and quantum break. Correct me if I’m wrong though.
you do know that millions of people play games on xbox right? they aren't exactly struggling with player numbers...
Exclusives I’d like to see from MS
-Jade Empire 2
-Tenchu
-Ryse 2
-KOTOR 3
the roles in most games seem implausible for an overweight person. just the truth. I like Create a characters though that let you make your person as you wish.
That’s a no for me dawg. - Randy Jackson
environment looks great, characters not so much
Witcher 3
AC origins
Horizon
God of war
Etc...make a good game and it sells itself
The rubberbanding, texture pop ins , frame rate issues, bugs...it all annoys the crap out of me and it’s ugly to look at. But it’s fun.
That's awesome. They're definitely moving units, kudos.
I still have my OG Xbox One Kinect lol. It was awesome for navigation but nothing else lol.
I really want MS and Sony to do the unthinkable, make an exclusive specifically for the X and Pro versions of their console. Give people a reason to upgrade.
I'm getting the X but honestly there's no gaming reason to do so yet. Better picture quality, more effects? Meh...Maybe this is the year we will see something worthy of all that power. Here's looking at you Anthem..
PUBG is no looker that's for sure. It's fun though
@showtime, i'm only interested in a couple of exclusives from sony. That's going to be 1 game every 3 or 4 years. If I got a PS4 Pro (the best version of the playstation) it is $399, and it would collect dust until those very few games came out.
Everyone I play with has been on xbox for years, that's my preferred platofrm. stop with the no exclusives talk, might not have the same caliber exclusives that i'm into but they have them. Also the multiplat games a...
Respawn indicated for a while that future Titanfall games would be multiplat, nobody cared.
They changed the game too much is what mostly hurt it. It didn’t feel like that fast chaotic game we loved in tf1.
That’s an issue with exclusivity in general. Games never will sell as well as they can when they limit themselves to 1 platform.
I’d love to play TLOU2, the new god of war, horizon but I’m not about to pay $400 for a console just to play those couple of games.
Depends on the studio and level of commitment. It’s crazy we can have games where you bash in someone’s skull but then have games where you dance around the subject of sex. Fully commit. I think it adds character bonding to some games like a Witcher or mass effect.
The game was : is good but what made titanfall titanfall was the speed and maneuverability...that was slowed down dramatically in tf2. Everything just felt off about the game from day 1. I played TF1 nonstop but could barely stomach tf2 for any extended period of time.
Went from being a good player to being terrible just on the changes they made.
even the titans are easily killed now unless you hunt for a battery...seriously
EA would be the only one I’d think could turn the balance of power. Keep the sports games multiplat but everything else exclusive. Anthem, Star Wars license, Titanfall, Battlefield, Mass Effect..would be insane
