Xbone won't lose its exclusives from now on

Ryse sales are at 0.93 million ATM . I read about it like 2 days ago somewhere . I think it was on eurogamer but not sure .

You really have to wonder if the OP is trying to convince himself or us.

Wait, what? Media Molecule is working on another game, so what does Sumo doing LBP3 have to do with "shrinking" 1st party? It actually frees up Media Molecule to create another new IP or whatever other project they are working on - presumably because they've had enough of LBP franchise themselves.

Yes, but Sony had done the same thing in the past. Now all those 3rd party exclusives are gone to. Did you forget about Ace Combat, Ridge Racer, Tekken, Final Fantasy, Katimara Domacy, Devil May Cry, Kingdom Hearts, Tekken, Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Assassin's Creed, etc... All these game were either exclusive on PS or was suppose to be exclusive and now they are multiplat. So Microsoft isn't the only company have done this and then seen exclusives go to other platforms. The difference is most of M$ exclusive end up on the PC and not on the competing platform. Games like Halo 5, Forza 5, Forza Horizon 2, Fable Legends, Gears of War 5, Crackdown 3, etc.. won't be on any other platform.

Are you sure about that because Microsoft registered the trademark...

There's exclusives in that list, btw. Assassin's Creed has never been exclusively on a Playstation platform. Like, the hell are you going on about?

You just enforced my point. I never denied Sony didn't do similar things. Also, I'm gonna need proof for all those listed that Sony paid for them to be on their platform, and that it wasn't just the publisher wanting it to be on the Ps2, for example.

I got corrected earlier.

That has nothing to do with anything.

Pretty much this. Only matters in SW.

X1 will continue to lose exclusives. "As your guys line of thinking would suggest" They were never going to be exclusive in the first place.

Microsoft likes money. Struggling financial companies should learn from this. With the price of developing AAA games now. You have to exhaust all profits.

The suits at Microsoft don't sit on possible profits. Investing in a studio/ game is way cheaper than producing an in house IP in todays gaming market. Pretty smart if you ask me.

Money!

PS1 and PS2 games weren't "exclusive" in the sense that Sony was doing anything contractually to make them exclusive. They were exclusive because the PS1 and PS2 franchises were the only dominant platform to put many of those games on. There are literally hundreds (if not thousands) of 'exclusive' PS1 and PS2 games - many from Japanese studios. There was no other reason for these games to be exclusive other Playstation was the natural place to put them, and there was no point in wasting even $1 to put them on anything but the dominant platform.

The economics are obviously very different now. If a game is on a single platform it stands out, and must be assumed the studio was paid to make the game either "timed exclusive" or they were contracted as 2nd party. The only way this changes, is if one platform takes a massive market share, or another platform falls into oblivion and becomes not worth supporting (which is what we are seeing with the Wii-U lack of 3rd party). So far, it seems like XB1 is still in the fight - at least to the point where it will get most multiplats. But with steam in the fold, you have to think the vast majority of multiplat games will always be on PC from here on out, so even if one console became dominant it would still probably get very few 3rd party exclusives as it would have to share with PC.

Yes, it will. Sunset Overdrive and Quantum Break are almost guaranteed to go multiplat. There's also Phil Spencer promising more PC support.

After last gen this really shouldn't be surprising, lems were warned about this happening at the beginning of this gen too. If you want consoles that keep their exclusives, you go with the WII U and PS4, since almost all of their exclusives are made by 1st party studios. This is one of the main reasons I'm skipping on Xbox this gen, for the first time.

So Quantum Break will pull an Alan Wake 100% guaranteed it. LOL Xbone.

The IP is owned by Microsoft.

Looks like dung.

xbox has never been known for having exclusives anyway, that's why I laugh when I see lems trying to play the game of the xbone having more exclusives right now than the PS4. Last gen the 360 had some games that weren't on PS3 because some devs didn't want to program for it but now the xbone stands no chance against the PS4. It might as well disappear and make life easier for everyone by having less fragmentation in the market.

Does anyone have a list of what if any Xbone exclusives remained exclusive and not ported to the PC at some point?

Sony and Nintendo will never port their games to the PC, but a windows game is a windows game business wise once the hype dies down on a game it would be stupid not to port to the PC for MS.

Damn, that's bad news. Chances of it appearing on PC are pretty slim that means.

Yup! And quantum theory will be heading to the PC. M$ doesn't have GREAT 1st party studios outside of 383..

Meh. The only worth playing games on xboner are better on pc....no point in buying it atm.

@freedomfreak: I don't see stuff like Infamous, Little Big Planet 3, Driveclub, Killzone, Knack, and others go to other platforms, because Sony has proper in-house developers. Same with Nintendo.

I definitely see that stuff going to psnow at some point and therefore losing its exclusivity.

But how are they losing exclusivity?

I think you're right that the Xbone won't lose it's exclusives, it just won't be getting them in the first place. A few of the recent games gambled on the X1 taking off more than it did, it's simply too tough to pass up on the PS4 with so many more consoles out there. I can't see devs of games like Titanfall and Sunset Overdrive partnering with MS like they have in the future.

@Cloud_imperium: As @ghostwarrior786 said , Fable is owned by M$ but it also appears on PC . So , QB may appear on PC after some time . So far , they haven't said "NO" to PC version of the game . Things may become a bit more clear in interviews after gamescom demo .

Yes the first Fable is on PC. The first two halo's as well. I'm not waiting to play 3/4/ legends or halo 3/4/5 on PC. I'll play them when released. As for Quantum, I didn't wait with Alan Wake, shit sure not waiting on QB.

fable 3 is on pc and yes im buying a x1 to play halo anyway but it would be nice if they were released on pc. alan wake is pretty shit but hopefully qb is better

Its cause they keep shuttering or sabotaging all their studios.

Yeah,you can bet that Sunset Overdrive and especially Quantum Break will be appearing on the PC at a later date.

It's not as if Ryse was a system seller.

It's pretty much always been this way with Microsoft games. They'll go to PC but people will know the games better for being on the console. You don't see many people talking about how they're gonna get Halo on the PC like you will with BF4 or CoD.

Sony owns the Little Big Planet IP and Media Molecule, the studio that created the IP.

Yeah that's right. I have no desire to wait to play games, so if I can, I don't. Might as well wait for PSNow to come to PC then in order to play TLOU in 4K

Well TLOU isn't exclusive as its on PS3 and PS4. Look at the list of PS3 games now playable on PS4 through the PSNow beta. None are exclusive to the PS3 anymore. And when PSNow goes to Sony TVs, tablets and PCs as it was announced it would down the road, then when PS4 titles get to it, they will no longer be exclusive to PS4. That's how it works here at SW

Yeah sure it won't... :P
