Microsoft Confused By Idea That Xbox One Doesn’t Have Enough Exclusives
But it’s seen some share of turmoil over the past few months. Crackdown 3, its big holiday release, got delayed into next year; and Scalebound, its epic team-up with Platinum Games, was cancelled out of nowhere. That left the company down two big exclusives, leaving fans wondering if it had enough to continue the success of Xbox.
That said, Microsoft’s VP of Global Games Publishing, Shannon Loftis, recently spoke to Game Informer about the system’s lack of exclusives, which she addressed as a “rumor” at best.
She noted, “In terms of exclusives, I’ve heard that rumor and I’m a little bit confused because we have a really good line-up this holiday.” She noted the above titles, as well as the upcoming Super Lucky’s Tale, as well as the Xbox One port of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, which is being financed in conjunction with Microsoft.
She also noted that over 100 games will be ready to go with the Xbox One X, but some people may struggle in finding the right 4K TV with it. It “can be quite expensive to buy (a 4K) television. The prices have come down amazingly, but it still is a major investment. I haven’t convinced my own husband yet to let me buy one.”
But then the question of Scalebound’s cancellation came up, to which she noted, “We ask ourselves: is this the right game? Is it the right experience? Is it the right time? And unless we can answer yes to all three, we won’t continue on a development cycle.” That said, she didn’t note if Scalebound specifically didn’t answer those three questions.

I believe they need more exclusives, seen mostly shit indie games at E3 but also seen a few games that I did think would be nice like " Anthem " & " Metro Exodus " even though I don't think they are exclusive but they might be.

Scalebound was getting so much god damn hype i dont even see why they had to cancel it. Must have been some sort of inside job.

She is confused because she has no clue. Indie exclusives mean nothing. Its a 4K system launching with virtually no 4K titles. So the investment seems pretty mute.
Indie is a waste of time, and the line up is beyond thin. Nothing original or worth the time or money.

She might think they have a great line up.. but tbh it is pretty poor when it comes to exclusives i have to say playstation has much better exclusives the only real games i'm actually interested in this year is Cod, NFS & PubG.. Which isn't really that much + most of these "exclusive games" are from indie developers.
