try harder releasing new IPs. MS gave it their all this gen and still came up in last place. Sony won't repeat their same mistakes next gen. MS won't have the breathing room to come as close as they did. I think MS will do better if they rely on more than 3 IPs for exclusives. Its time they create new studios, buying DLC will only get them so far. With Sony fumbling as much as they did this gen, its amazing they made a comeback. I think things will only get harder for MS if they don't give more effort. What do you guys think? Discuss.

Hopefully not, I mean its no secret that I prefer Playstation, but I do want MS to be a big player next gen. If Sony doesn't screw up, it'll be hard for MS to repeast their position next gen. Don't understand how a company so rich can fail at delivering remarkable new ips.

They'll probably be investing into a lot of good IP's, and exclusive's for the start of the gen and once they take the lead they'll probably slow it down and just let third parties invest into them.

As a gamer you have the right to want more IPs. It's only natural. But as a company. MS is the only deciding factor to find out what is best for their company. You're not the one with millions or billions on the line. MS wants to stay profitable unlike Sony or Nintendo.

MS have already opened a number of studios in the last few years which for some reason is never mentioned here. Some of them will probably be for Kinect-only drivel but it's a start.

I know they have a company thats supposedly working on the next "Gears" but they need to 86 the sci fi stuff. MS appeals way too much to bro gamers.

They were good for new IPs at the start of the gen. Problem is Halo/Gears/Forza/Fable + Kinect crap vastly outsold them. They stick to the big sellers, and also have lotsa XBLA games which I like, and rely on 3rd parties making best versions, timed/exclusive DLC, and PC./360 ports to add value. Not sure if that'll fly next gen.

Exclusives sells consoles. MS needs to bring its A game next with the Nextbox.

Yeah, Halo and Gears is enough and they have racers covered. They could do with more RPGs, strategy, hack and slash, platformers and whatnot.

Eh exclusives are important but I think games like GTA, COD and Elder Scrolls are selling just as many (if not more!) Xbox consoles as Halo, Gears and Forza.

Honestly, Microsoft only needs to do two things to make me take an interest in their next system. Free online and stop letting their games go multiplat. Fix those two issues and suddenly their next system is a contender for my money. Oh and of course, don't fight used games.
