Exor Dev On Why Microsoft Initially Struggled With Xbox One,Not Enough 1st And 3rd Party Dev Support

It's no secret that Microsoft had a rough start to this generation. The weird DRM policies and an always online system made Xbox One a hard sell back then. Microsoft later on did a complete 180 on those policies however the blunders of E3 2013 still haunt them.

[SpaceRanger]

Initially?
Pretty sure that lack of full on support has continued till today.

[DARK_WOLF]

Ignorance is a choice.

[DARK_WOLF]

Yeah xbox lacks full on support.

They just created the most powerful games console ever working along side devs to work with their game engines and make developing easier.

They have over 1000 indie games coming with id@xbox

They work with gamers to give us products and features we want.

Phil recently went to japan again to work with jp devs on getting jp games to the system.

New 1st party ips on the way and 3rd party support is immense.

Yeah xbox is totally lacking support.

[XXanderXX]

Or just maybe no matter the circumstance , some of us are okay and its not reason to whine like an entitled tot .

[ABizzel1]

1st party and 3rd party dev support had nothing to do with the initial struggle.

It was the entire media fumble fiasco MS had from the XBO reveal all the way up to launch with HORRIBLE PR statements, DRM, etc...

The final straw was launching their console $100 more than the PS4, while being weaker because of forcing Kinect on early adopters.

That was the issue. Losing the marketing rights for the majority of 3rd party games to PS4, and not excelling at New IP's this gen is what caused the system to stay stagnate. But selling +8m consoles per year isn't a bad thing, though I'm sure MS would much rather be at or above 10m like the 360 was when the slim launched.

[indysurfn]

Pretty sure it was people cancelling pre orders and not making pre orders after they found out about the very same policies that Microsoft has implemented in China to this very day. And the backlash. Because even before getting behind on 1st party AAA's before launch they had to reverse course(Which they finally, finally admitted).

That was the reason for the problems. THEN came not having enough AAA titles even though they have more than the big three that people give them credit for. Sony just has WAY too many more. And don't even get me started on how many 1st party AAA's Nintendo has. I lost count.

[TKCMuzzer]

So what your saying is, your choosing to be ignorant. So what your saying is because Microsoft are sort of dealing with the problems (and creating a new console is not dealing with it is just deflecting) its ok to be ignorant to what has gone before.
Your saying fully supported, yet everything you mention is what may happen in the future. Support is not what you only do going forward, it's what you do in the present and what you have done in the past.
You may have a point in 2 years time but as of present, no. For your note, they should have worked alongside devs and listened to fans three years ago but of course as you clearly point out, ignorance is a choice.

[Canadianfubar]

Mmmmmyummy-the article showcases past mistakes Microsoft made. Your a fan of Xbox, i get it. But your blind trust is why all this time the fans keep saying Microsoft is going to kill it, and didn't. Stack processing, cloud computing, Directx 12, was all supposed to kicked Sony's butt, Never Happen!. I agree with most, Games make the console, not the power. If Microsoft can get the third parties back on board with exclusives, Dammit make lots of first party games (of any price point) and embrace indies better (Microsofts bad ID@ program parity clause hurt them), then Xbox can be worth it again. I own a Xbox one and hardly touch it. Halo and Forza cannot save Xbox. I also feel the original Xbox One will be left behind in a few years after Scorpio launch. With its weak power, Dev's are going to demand it saying their games can't be ported down to the inferior Xbox One.

[vegasgamerdawg]

I think what they mean is MS doesn't have as many exclusives as Sony. And MS isn't adhering to the made up fanBOY rule exclusives don't count if released on PC. It's unwritten rules you've got to learn on N4G. Home of confirmation bias. IT's kind of like playing Dungeons and Dragons with made up fantasy rules which can change at anytime. Prepare for ignorance. So if you go by the fantasy fourum fanBOY rules. MS definitely doesn't support XBone. Problem solved, move on for you'll never win.

[Thatguy-310]

The support isn't as bad as Sony had with the ps3 in its early yrs. That console suffered horrendously but Sony were able to save it. Ms isn't having the same amount of obstacles the ps3 had. The reason they're doing how they're doing is simply because they launched aside the ps4. The Xbox brand isn't as strong as the Playstation one.

[Rude-ro]

It sold better than both the 360 and Xbox one day for day matchups, what do you consider horrendous?

[glenn1979]

Your right, if M.S. launch this xbox scorpio instead of the xbox one the table have been turn or the console war would have closer and maybe they have more I.P. not like now the PS4 is on fire right now, but M.S. have some momentum right now wit the scorpio it's now or never for them, lets see what E3 will bring

[Legendary-Status]

First thing they needed to do is change they logo once they change from spiderman letters and went OG like the PS3 had new life

[Dragonscale]

@rude, ms expected to sell a billion xbones. Think ms would consider it horrendous tbh.

[XanderZane]

One of the reasons the PS3 struggled early was not only because of the high price, but because Sony was marketing it as a Blu-Ray player first instead of a game console. So there really weren't any quality games for the PS3 for the 1st year and a half. Once Blu-Ray beat out HD-DVD, Sony started marketing the PS3 as a game console and great quality games started coming out.

Microsoft has about 5-6 things that made fans unhappy with it. 1) Price 2) Terrible reveal 3) Kinect packed in with every system 4) Promoting TV & Sports on it before games 5) Wanting to go digital and have DRM game disks. 6) System weaker then competition.

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

People are all over the internet telling Phil Spencer that the problem is centered around the lack of variety with the console's exclusives and what does his team do? He makes a console with lots of power hoping to overshadow the PS4. Poor Phil.

[trooper_]

I just find it hilarious that they keep ignoring the reason why the PS4 has been dominating for months.

[dilbig5]

Think you mean years lol

[S2Killinit]

"Initially" ? Did he really say initially

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Are it should for the future

[Lenrulesdaworld]

smh MS supported their console with plenty of 1st party & 1st party ip content. I like how the 1st 5 months of missing games equates to 3 yrs of missing games lmao. You can't make this up, they also have every major western 3rd party release minus some indies & mainly japanese titles. It is what it is, support or don't Xbox isn't going anywhere.

[Gman32]

Dam you got 4 disagree votes cause you told the truth about microsoft

[Gman32]

@fleecejohnson75 you're right

[SpaceRanger]

The first 5 months??
Since when does December/January to August add up to 5 months?

[Youngindy21]

Quantum Break was released at the beginning of 2016.

[Godmars290]

Okay, name 1st party that was well received, sold well, and overcame the overall negative rep created by the first launch attempt?

[tyasia0]

PS4 had around 4x the retail exclusives last year. Almost 3x the exclusives in 2015. This year it's around 20-1 on exclusives.

Why pretend there isn't a problem. They are releasing this big new console and they have 3 or 4 games they have talked about that are even likely to be out this year.

I'm sorry but that's a sad state.

[rainslacker]

Think people are talking about the high profile support that actually gets people's attention. If it's commonplace, and not exclusive, then no one cares, because it's not a major reason to choose a console. If it's something special to the console though, it gets notice.

MS did come out the gate strong, I'll give them that. Although that 1st party support was mostly 2nd party support...but that's fine. But overall, most of their games weren't exactly getting people's attention. The only one's talking about it were those on forums trying to bolster their list.

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

If there's so much support then why is Microsoft only able to get 2 or 3 exclusives per year? Every year Microsoft offers the bare minimum and they still expect people to buy their hardware. It's hilarious.

[trooper_]

So what was the 1st party content...?

...cricket chirp

[FallenAngel1984]

Xbox One sold incredibly well when it launched

[Gman32]

Yes it did and had a good tripleA games at launch ontop of that

[DARK_WOLF]

Yes something the ps4 didnt really have in comparison. Ps4 sales skyrocketed due to ease of use and better graphics on multiplats compared to ps4.

Lack of exclusives didnt seem to matter it was all about the power.

Resolutiongate was a real thing that wouldnt have existed if it wasnt truth.

But now ps4 is the weaker system apparently power never matterd and its all about good exclusives. Something ps4 lacked for a long time.

Go figure.

Can never win with these sony fanatics. Always shifting goalposts.

[Stogz]

@Mmmmmmmmmmyummy lets not get ahead of ourselves here, the only good launch game was dead rising 3.
And what the hell is ease of use? And what does that have to do with anything? Lol talk about reaching!

And at the beginning you Xbox guys were all about exclusives and power didn't matter and there was no difference between 900p and 1080p. Now exclusives don't matter and power does. Can you goofballs please stop acting like it's one sided? You guys are just as bad.
Can't win with these MS fanatics. Always shifting the goalposts...

[DARK_WOLF]

Power has always mattered its just the difference between the two isnt very big. 900p to 1080p aint the biggest of differences.

1080p/1440p to 2160p now thats a difference.

Games always mattered yet somehow xbox exclusives are invisible to psfanatics.

And somehow upscaling has been dogshit all gen yet now its genius that the shoes on the other foot.

Scum

[remixx116]

@Mmmmhmmmm

Your comment is confusing.

The one had like one or two more decent exclusives above the ps4 at launch and it evened out over the next year.

MS peaked in 2015 with an incredibly strong holiday but has shriveled since then with notable mentions being gears 4 and forza still being excellent.

Sony kicked it into gear hard on 2016 with gravity rush remaster, street fighter, ratchet and clank, uncharted 4, king of fighters, the yearly mlb and the last guardian and then sony blew minds at the 2016 e3 and psx event while dumping high quality exclusives literally all above a meta of 80 in the first half of 2017, it's freaking nuts.

2017 still has Wipeout collection, crash bandicoot, ni no kuni 2, dreams and gt sport with games like death stranding, spiderman, the last of us 2, days gone and Detroit for next year.

Sorry but while MS was ahead at launch it just couldn't last long.

[Aenea]

@Mmmmmmmmmmyummy

But 1800p to 2160p isn't the biggest difference either. Kinda silly to just mention 1080p/1440p...
Also 2160p checkerboard rendered and native 2160p isn't a big difference either.

Power doesn't matter for most people out there, if it did why on earth did MS sell 26 million Xbox Ones????????

Do you have a PS4/PS4 Pro? If not, why not? They've been the most powerful console for 4 years when Scorpio comes out. And if you do, when did you get it? Did you get it first or after you got the X1?
If you and many Xbox fans didn't get swayed by power then, why on earth do you think people will be swayed now?

Besides, people already on a PS4 aren't going to switch all that easily. Yes, they might get the Scorpio as an extra console but most of them aren't going to make it their primary system if it means they have to leave all their PSN friends, trophies and games behind.

And what many people also forget is that Sony has always sold more console each generation than MS did, there are just more PS fans out there than Xbox fans...

-------
PS. I finally do understand why MS wanted so desperately to introduce cross-play between X1 and PS4 all of a sudden, it would mean with Scorpio that people didn't have to leave their friends behind...

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

@Mmmmmmmmmmyummy

Let's clarify your statements.
Two games that were supposed to be launch titles were delayed; The Order and Driveclub so your first point was actually right until March 2014.

Resolutiongate was a factor, but the Xbox One's problems were compounded by it's $500 price for weaker hardware and a peripheral no one wanted. After the initial launch, sales dropped off and here's the reason why:

The Xbox One had $500 price tag. PS4 had a $400 price tag. Figure it out.

[Aenea]

Which is fricking weird since Xbox fans say that power matters a lot and that power is the only reason PS4 sells more! 😀

[Why o why]

I know.... the disparity in quantity, quality and variety output have absolutely nothing to do with why the ps is tearing xbox a new one. .... sorry, doing better worldwide. Sony fans have been ribbin xbox about ts holiday only focus for a number of years now. Exclusives used to matter and it was the main beating stick used by both camps last gen and the start of this gen. Even devs are saying this but nooooooooh.. they must be sony fanboys or something. The number of games before ms went all kum bi yah and nerfed true exclusives was heavily in favour of the playstation.

I've zero problem with those who prefer the xbox brand. Each to their own but lets not get too sensitive or hypocritical when others highlights frailties that even ms acknowledge themselves

[Aenea]

@Ghost

Haha, then how come MS even sold any Xbox One? Not because power, that's for sure! Which tells me there are other reasons for buying one brand over the other but that seems to be a concept that's too hard to grasp for some...

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

@Ghostindashell

PS4's sold because of:
$100 price difference
Blackops 3 bundles
Star Wars Battlefront bundle
Uncharted 4 bundle
Bloodborne
The Last of Us Remastered

And I'm sure when Sony announces more than 60 million sold at E3, there will be several MORE GAMES that will be responsible:

Nioh
Horizon Zero Dawn
Persona 5

And when PS4 slim outsells the Xbox Scorpio will it be because of power or games?

And the "Aha!" moment emerges...

[Elda]

That is why I've never personally had any interest in the XBO for those reasons.I definitely want to see at this years E3 can they grab my interest with several first to third party exclusives & I'm not talking about Forza,Halo Gears,State of Decay or Crackdown 3,I want to see fresh original interesting i.p's & that may drive me to buy a Scorpio if the the price is right.If they can't pull that off...forget it.

[LordJamar]

no interesting xbox game ever i think you have a bit to much bias now they gota show 5 original games? thats some BS just go play your ps and dont worry about getting a xbox you clearly dont want one gemers are a joke

[Elda]

I'll say it again. ..NO INTERESTING GAMES EVER.Like I'm going to listen to you or pay heed to your tired opinion...lol.Bye!...smh.

[dilbig5]

Why couldn't they show at least 5 original games? Everyone else does lol. Need some games to go with the new "power" they got going on.

[LordJamar]

like i said your not gonna get one and you never will or was your just lieing so play your sony box buh bye

[Elda]

It's funny how you come to this site telling folks that they are lying (NOT lieing) & what they should play but you don't know the first thing on writing sentences correctly including spelling,capitalizing your letters or punctuation.Instead of worrying about what system someone is curious about or what games someone is not interested in you should enroll in a english/grammar class or did you even graduate from high school.Videogames should be the last thing on your mind,getting a decent education should be first...LordJamar...lmao while smh!

[LordJamar]

@elda stay mad stay salty my friend lol getting under your skin.....priceless

[Razzer]

Exor dev? Ah....gotta be gaming bolt.

[Automatic79]

Xbox One has had a steady stream games since day one. Where is this no games attitude coming from.

[threefootwang]

"no games attitude"

It's been like this on N4G for the longest time. Like who cares what console you have, just play with what your happy with. Have a PS4? Great. Xbox One? Awesome. Still playing last gen? No problem.

[1Victor]

But there's a camp that can't see it that way and do all they can to prove the other camp wrong while denying their short comings.
It's up to you to decide but what I saying here is 100% true
@aconnella you sure have a short memory about all the PS3 resolution articles here, just do a search and you'll see. What the 360fanboys did to the PS3 fanboys was worse than what the Xbox one fanboys are getting from the PS4 fanboys.
It was so bad that the site had to do away with the open chat

[slavish0]

Wow, I can't believe u got disagrees. Those people need a life.

[King_Lothric]

Ja!

From the guys who use to say "PS4 has no games". They are eating now their own words.

[aconnellan]

If you want to play this game, we can talk about all of the resolutiongate articles and pixel counting comparisons that have been paraded around for the last 3 years, definitely declaring the Xbox One as always, without fail, hosting the 'obviously inferior' versions of multiplats.

And then we can talk about how, since the Scorpio reveal, that immediately changed to "oh, well I mean, 1080 to 4K isn't that big a jump, I don't think we'll really be able to tell the difference. And checkerboard rendering is pretty much just as good as native 4K as well"

[BlackTar187]

@Acon

No matter how many resolutiongate things you think are g floating around it was a fraction of what was floating around last gen. There was so many resolution websites last gen when xbox was king of multi plats that don't even exist anymore. But wait let me stop you of course you weren't around then right?

Such nonsense you guys spit. The inferiority complex you guys have on resolution is a direct connection to the entire xbox is the best check out the patch of grass your team parade around all last gen with.

[Dragonscale]

@ac, before scorpio announcement it was 'powah doesn't mattah' for 3 years. As soon as scorpio announcement its all about powah. Along with 'PS4 got no games', that was the fanatx cry. Talk about goalpost moving lol.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

MS dropped support for 360 and moved games to XBONE so they had a decent launch schedule. How barren was 360 in it's later years?

[AmUnRa]

THIS^^^ Sony brought games out on the PS3 they could have moved them also to the PS4. They didn't.
The PS3 gamers where important for Sony. Microsoft didn't give shit about the Xbox 360.. Whe all now that they give a shit about theyr 360 gamers.

[rainslacker]

Probably from the same place that it came from with PS3's first couple years, or even PS4's first couple years, since it gets the same accusation thrown at it.

Anyhow, the argument is mostly about the consistency of the releases, mixed in with the general hype that comes along with whatever games are releasing. MS has been behind Sony on both fronts, outside the holiday seasons, so, in comparison, it doesn't have any games.

If anyone means that it has no games at all, or none worth playing, then they're just an extreme fan boy who should be ignored. But lumping all the people who say it into that group, only ignores the overall argument that MS isn't delivering high quality games on a consistent and ongoing basis.

[sk8ofmnd]

And how is this going to change with the scorpio?

[jznrpg]

They had 3rd party support, not as great as PlayStation but still good. The problem is their first party is lacking and what they do have is growing old and repetitive. They also want to focus on Multi-player which also is getting stale.

[nevarDcirE]

I agree. Multiplayer centric games are ruining the gaming industry. Easy to make, easy to sell, easy to add microtransactions, easy to add extra content when the community begs for more.

[LordJamar]

wrong

[SilverDemon]

Their first party studios are not as big or as talented as PlayStation and 3rd party support is not even near the crazy support PlayStation (Japanese dev choose to support vita over x1)

Xbox can ndver top ps4 when it comes to gamss

[Next_gen_2015]

Why are people forgetting Sea of thieves and state of decay 2?

[King_Lothric]

Maybe because there is not much interest on those games.

[tyasia0]

Two games... big deal PS4 has release over 20 this year already and has a stacked lineup of over a dozen big games in the works many of which will be out this year. And on top of that it's guaranteed they will be announcing new games at E3

[Dragonscale]

Maybe because they look meh. Along with cd3 thats a pathetic lineup compared to PS4's tbh.

[LordJamar]

i like xbox but many ppl wont be pleased with whatever they offer no matter what but ppl like to pretend they wiil get a xbox when we know they never will its just lies

[ShadowWolf712]

Well it's Gamingbolt, so there's a 50/50 chance on whether or not this was even actually said.

[RedPill86]

What struggle? While the software sales are down across the board, on all systems, and PC, hardware paced well ahead of the 360. Microsoft isn't struggling, the industry is. In terms of hardware everyone is doing well.

[LIGATURE]

Wow,just cause scorp is coming out now you get such revelations on x1 😂

[BIGBOSS08]

They struggled because they made a shit console nobody wanted. Than they tried to 180 their way out of the mess they made but it was too late. Now they're basically starting over with the scorpio and i don't think it's even possible to mess up like they did again. If they can bring the games than maybe they can compete with Sony again. I doubt it though. Sony are pretty damn near unstoppable at this point. 60m consoles sold in just over 3 years. Microsoft couldn't manage that even with a $99 console from launch.

[xtheblackparade]

ps4 tag, lose it.

[Youngindy21]

To be fair. If Western developers stopped supporting Playstation, the way Japanese developers stopped supporting Xbox, the entire Playstation brand would cease to exist.

[Yohshida]

People seem to forget really fast. Look at the first year lineup of both consoles. If it ever was about exclusives, PS4 would have lost the console race years ago. It was about Price and POWER. Xbox had the games while all we heard is how great the higher resolution was. Now all of a sudden power is irrelevant, dunno wh... oh wait, they lost that argument.

[Skankinruby]

Lol are you kidding? Exactly what you just said was what people bashed the ps3 for last gen. 'Huh huh blu ray is pointless it's all about the games' then 6-7 years later you heard very little other than halo/gears/forza AND now xbox is using blu ray. Xbox never had an ounce of leverage on games against ps4 this gen. They've been nothing but redundant and shallow from day 1. Every console has a slow start but even from day 1 but ps4 had a promisingforecast that they actually delivered on whereas xbox hasn't delivered a damn thing.

[Yohshida]

please look at both launch lineups and convince me that Knack and Killzone are more than Xbox Ones lineup.

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

I have no idea why people like yourself continue to use the "power" argument when there is ZERO evidence to support it.

If what you say is true then why is the PS4 Slim outselling PS4 Pro?

--_--

Is it power, price, or games?

[Skankinruby]

Lol bro, give it a rest. First you say 'If it was ever about exclusives, ps4 would have lost the console race years ago'....now I'm not sure if you know how a race works, but who takes off faster at launch means absolutely nothing. Now let's look at the games you are making this ignorant claim on. First is dead rising, a previous multi plat that Microsoft money-hatted which never really held much significance to begin with. Then there's Ryse son of Rome which made The Order 1886 look like goty material. Then of course forza, yes we know it's a good racing game but now Turn 10 had made the sequels so redundant that it's parallel with MLB the show. Killzone and Knack were not life changing but they were good games, there was never a split second where xbox had the upper hand. And if price was such a heavy factor then why is it that at the same price or cheaper it can't even sell half of ps4's numbers any given week? Playstation developed integrity and maintained it, xbox never had it to begin with. THATS why people are buying the console.

[Yohshida]

Actual list of launch exclusives:

Rose: Son of Rome
Dead Rising 3
Forza Motorsport 5
Zoo Tycoon
Fighter Within
Killer Instinct
Zumba
Crimson Dragon

vs

Killzone
Knack

this followed by

Master Chief Collection
Sunset Overdrive
Forza Horizon 2
Titanfall
Kinect Sports Rivals
Shape Up
Fantasia
Project Spark
D4

vs

MLB 14
Driveclub
Last of us remastered
LBP3
Infamous

gotta say Year 1 was sparse for Playstatio

[Skankinruby]

Zzzzzz, you know when the last time I heard about 90 percent of your list? The last time someone wanted to list exclusives. You got dead rising, forza, killer instinct (however recycled it may be) and sunset overdrive, the rest is silly fanboy fillers. Get outta here with your 'sparse' crap and quit listing games you never owned to build a shallow base for a mediocre console.

[Yohshida]

Titanfall is such a filler right? Ryse, kinect Sports and the rest dont count all of a sudden.

Meanwhile you complain about Forza, yet they are genre leaders and put out quality games each year. By the time one half baked gt comes out we get 5 complete Forza games.
Meanwhile you hype ratchet 14 and the third Uncharted in the last 3 years. Cant make this up.

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

@VideoGameLab

You know what Skankinruby means. No one cares about Kinect Sports Rivals, Shape Up, Fantasia, Project Spark or D4.

None of those games should ever be on anyone's "exclusive list." They are horrible.

[Skankinruby]

Lol ok, I'll give you titanfall. I'll only point out that it was deemed a disappointment by the general public for the same reason battlefront was, it was half a game sold at full price. Then they fixed it with the sequel and what did Respawn do? They made it multiplat. There's a reason I don't list games like resogun, n++, basement crawl etc. because they don't matter, not unlike most of your list. Forza releasing every year is nothing to gloat about, it's redundant. And kinect sports is also rubbish as the kinect itself has been labeled utterly useless. You like xbox, I get it, but you have no argument here dude.

[Yohshida]

Ye, cause those games you mentioned are indie games. Kinect Sports, if you like it or not, probably outsold a lot of other "big" exclusives. Don't we count Killzone and Knack either because they didn't score that great? Does that leave PS4 with 0 exclusives? Do you get how stupid that sounds? You wanted the list, I gave it to you. No-one freaking cares what games you like and which you don't. FACT is, Forza is the highest rated and best selling racing IP this gen. You not liking it won't change a dime. Wouldn't you want to play GT right now? Guess you prefer half baked games like Driveclub.

[Skankinruby]

Lol driveclub outsold EVERY forza released this gen. The only one that came close was forza 5. And you know as well as I do that GT sport will outsell every forza this gen COMBINED. Forza is definitely the highest rated, but for how much people praise it the sales numbers are beyond disappointing. Enough with your arrogance, you're being silly now.

[Ryuujinjakka]

I guess 3rd party studios understood that MS is not a good business partner.

[KillBill]

Uhhhmmmm... people act like these are Devs in the know about anything? Every week we get a story about some Indie Dev that has pushed out near nothing and then claims knowledge base on something. Get serious people... put out some real news.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

incorrect they had plenty of support. Their biggest problem was they were $100 more than their direct competitor launching at the same time and the less expensive box was actually more powerful. It's very simple the math for a consumer overall who was not invested in that platform was simple

[InKnight7s]

Yup and tell that to SB's developers :)

[InTheZoneAC]

Why did it mention xbox one specifically? And when talking about the xbox brand why do they say "initially"?

[MorpheusX]

The Xbox platform sucks this Generation, the problem with you fanboys is you wont call a spade a spade, no one believes you guys are enjoying the lack of exclusives this Gen. Yet because Sony is having success and there fans are pleased mostly with the effort Sony has shown, You Xbots LIE to yourselves and try to downplay the facts that there IS NO WAY YOU COULD OR SHOULD be pleased with MS efforts this Gen.

Listen, Who has more $$$$, who has more disposable income than MS? Who!!!????

NO ONE.

MS stopped supporting Xbox fans with exclusives half way through 360, WHY? You mean MS didn't have the $$$$$?!! to still make exclusives and Kinect at the sametime?

Of course they did. Its Microsoft. Who has More disposable income than them? Who!!!???

So if MS had the $$$$, why did they Kill the Original Xbox, stop supporting 360 half way into its life span, closed 1st party developmen tstudios, let other studios go in Bungie, and cancel exclusives?

Why!!??.............Yet you Xbox Fans should know this better than anyone yet most of You PRETEND like non of this matters, did I mention Red Ring of Death?

There is NO EXCUSES, and I mean NO GOOOD EXCUSES, for Microsoft's self inflicted blunders ,who only hurt the consumers that support them, not MS really, they got too much $$$ to really be affected by any of there blunders.

Xbox fans, you should have banded together and told MS to take a Hike, instead of outright blind support and regurgitated lies being told by the Media and MS.

Xbox fans, You have STOCKHOLM SYNDROME , everyone of you.

So the Sony fans cannot take you serious and everytime you defend MS's you look utterly foolish, your not going to convince ANYONE your truly enjoying you XB1 experience, it makes no sense.

How can You with that utterly pathetic effort excuses and line up of games so far, NO WAY your really enjoying yourselves, no way.

Stop the Lies Xbots.
