Well it's obvious that console which will bring more and better entertainment will rule ahead of rest, and when we talk of consoles, gaming titles are only thing which makes real difference. Nothing is more worst than watching your friend playing exclusive titles on his console which you can't afford to buy at the moment. Only way to bring more gaming titles or specifically exclusive gaming titles to their console is to buy more able and best studios who been developing excellent games for their consoles.
Paul Thurrott in a recent episode commented on the on-going Microsoft fiasco hinting at more job losses and that "there's more to come".
There won't be no more acquiring game publishers from Microsoft in the future . Xbox has to pay Microsoft back. It might take two decades to do that.
There really needs to be a class action lawsuit here. You buy these companies just to put people out of jobs. And it’s not like something happened to derail their plans this WAS the plan. Microsoft has no business in this space at all.
Ninja Theory, Perfect Dark, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Wolfenstein 3, Dishonored, Prey, Doom, Quake... something tells me that bad things are going to happen to these entities under Microsoft.
The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."
“Bond adds that they will start on the web”
This will go nowhere.
Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.
The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.
The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Any of those would be nice.Sony is sorely lacking a good solid RPG dev.Not saying they would need them to "knock out xbox" by any means.I just mean like, funding and allowance of freedom and creativity that Sony gives their first party would really shine with those devs.
This "Next-Gen Exclusive Titles Race" will have a funny turn once Naughty God reveal their next game for the PS4 :)
(cool list btw, Sony should definitely buy Quantic Dream)
Insomniac. Seriously, Sony should hurry up and do it.
I don't think Sony needs to buy more studios. They need to carry on expanding current studios as they are now and perhaps, eventually, have each studio with three teams. There's nothing stopping them poaching the devs from other studios of course.
Hahahahhahah the pix alon is worth a million words.
OT:why not get Lvl 5?
