Xbox One’s Flow Of Exclusives Won’t Increase - Insider

4.1
Whether fair or not, there’s a perception that Microsoft and the Xbox One are falling behind the competition when it comes to first party exclusives. The publisher’s E3 2017 press conference showcased plenty of games, and Forza Motorsport 7, Sea of Thieves, and Crackdown 3 all look solid, but Microsoft’s upcoming lineup of exclusives feels a bit lacking. Well, don’t expect that to change any time soon.

Recently, NeoGAF poster and known industry insider “Matt” shared some behind-the-scenes tidbits about what’s going on with Microsoft and the Xbox One, and it wasn’t terribly encouraging news. Take this all with a grain of salt if you so desire, but this poster has been a solid source of information in the past. According to our insider, Microsoft doesn’t plan to increase their first party spending any time soon.

“MS is not meaningfully increasing their investments in or focus on first party. That could change, I would love for that to change, but it hasn’t. There could be things I don’t know about, or I’m wrong about something, I never claimed to be infallible. But I know enough to have a pretty good view of the situation.”


So, why is one of the biggest companies in the world playing it cheap with the Xbox One? Unfortunately, recent Xbox One exclusives haven’t proven to be a worthwhile investment…

As an xbox player myself I believe there does need to be more exclusives so this really isn't good news.

SimpPosted:

I don't play on Xbox so this doesn't really affect me, but they definitely do need to provide some more Xbox exclusives for the console. COD exclusives were probably the biggest exclusive and since that was switched to PS4, they need to find something that the community will want and enjoy.

They better release some games otherwise it's all going to crash down hard on them.

Xbox They better start releasing some more exclusives, **** all these wack ass indie games you know what the fans want. Hopefully get more exclusives for the X.

"They know what the fans want"
Bro, roblox is in like the top 5 games on the Xbox store. If majority of the fans are playing that type ish- you don't want them to do what the fans want..

OhVegetables The whole idea of having exclusives is pretty stupid imo. I have an Xbox one and a PC and there are a few games i wanna play but only can play on the PS4. I don't want to spend loads on a whole new console to play a handful of games.


Unfortunately exclusives and deals are what sell consoles. Look at how many people switched to PS4 because of the Call of Duty exclusivity deal.

Phil Spencer has already said he doesn't believe in exclusivity as they have shown with Minecraft, he stated before that all it does is drive gamers apart because of this.

Xbox has never really been a console for Exclusive games.

EchoPosted:

I wish exclusives didn't exist but if they start dropping more exclusive's it would be great for them.

SakonPosted:

Damn, they really need to get some good exclusives, they're really dropping the ball.
