Microsoft, the reason people are 'under-indexing' the new Xbox is because they haven't been given evidence to the contrary yet. I'm sure E3 will be a great time for you to show off all your fancy new titles just like it will be for Sony, but you can't blame people for being skeptical. Also, $1 billion is a lot of money, but is it being spent well? Money alone isn't going to get you a good game.

We can't under index a punch you haven't thrown yet.

[quote]We just ran through our [release slate] and counted the number of exclusives, and looked at the amount of money that we're spending and the deals that we have, exclusive windows and [things to create differentiation][/quote] Oh, I didn't realize having a lot of something and spending a lot of money on it means it will be good.

You are punching the consumer, Microsoft.

Impressive numbers doesn't mean you'll get impressive games. Still, to give them credit, it's the best news we've heard since the reveal.

This is a fact for most people. CoD is also very repetitive. And this is why the series is seriously horrible to watch being released over and over

This is how they plan to make people buy something as insanely anti-consumer as the One: Hold people's favorite franchises hostage until they finally give up and pay.

Never revisited them after a month though and never clocked more than 2 minutes in MW3. Luckily, the only one i paid full price for was MW2... The shortest... Brand fatique is what everyone's been on about since MW2. They disguise it as lazy devs and shit, when it's actually a combo of themselves just getting too much and Activision changing absolutely nothing at all.

Oh man can't wait for all those Kinect exclusives :dance:

If mirrors edge 2 is an exclusive I'm going to be so annoyed and still not buy the Xbox one.

Yeah.... Saying you've spent one billion on exclusives means little. Plenty of big budget games are terrible.

Everything that was being done to Microsoft's new console was entirely because of what we see right here. Microsoft tried so hard to make the system appeal to developers, but the problem isn't that they don't have enough from the exclusives... It's that the system's amount of insane and unreasonably stupid gimmicks that are going to stop people from buying it.

Had loads of fun with MW2 and BO1, which supposedly was after the point where CoD wasn't milked dry to shit. The problem with CoD IMO wasn't more the fact that it gets repetitive. It was the fact that a few of the titles degraded in quality by a lot. CoD 4 and I bet the ones before aswell hold up to the new ones much better in every way imo. It's sad to hear about "the next cod game to be released on x/x/x" every year nowadays.

"HL2? whats that? Does it play like CoD?" "No" "Fucking faggot EWW"

I don't know how much they would invest per game, but when games like Dead Space 3 costs fucking $300 million, your billion dollars wont last long.

[QUOTE=leontodd;40828270]If mirrors edge 2 is an exclusive I'm going to be so annoyed and still not buy the Xbox one.[/QUOTE] I bet it plays fucking horribly on a controller.

People who say this console isn't going to sell are fucking idiots. Its a bullshit console, but microsoft has a lot of idiot kids in its reign.
