Microsoft has $1 billion to invest in X1 exclusives

 

Is LJ a "system warrior" now? because if true, Oh my goodness, oh my damn! :P:D

*psst* BTW I'm watching The Shadow Line as I type this. Just a few episodes left. Amazing.

Why did Microsoft even enter the console business? It seems to me that all they're doing is throwing away money. By the time they start making profit they need to spend billions for their next generation console. And in total the profit is only a fraction of the expenses.

$1 billion from their other divisions, won't even get past the judges I bet.

 My Guesstifimacations for Microsoft's Billion Spent:

15 exclusives (best case scenario) -

1.) Unknown Kinect Exclusive 1
2.) Unknown Kinect Exclusive 2
3.) Unknown Kinect Exclusive 3
4.) Unknown Kinect Exclusive 4
5.) Unknown Kinect Exclusive 5
6.) Unknown 1st Party Core Exclusive 1
7.) Unknown 1st Party Core Exclusive 2
8.) Unknown 1st Party Core Exclusive 3
9.) Unknown 3rd Party Exclusive (timed or not)
10.) XBLA Exclusive 1
11.) XBLA Exclusive 2
12.) Ryse
13.) Quantum Break
14.) Forza 5
15.) Halo 5

15 exclusives (worst case scenario) -

1.) Kinect Fitness (Kinect)
2.) Dance Central 4 (Kinect)
3.) Unknown Kinect Exclusive 1
4.) Unknown Kinect Exclusive 2
5.) XBL Arcade Exclusive
6.) Timed 3rd Party Exclusive
7.) DLC
8.) Unknown 1st Party Core Exclusive
9.) Forza 5
10.) Fantasy Football Integration
11.) ESPN deal
12.) Halo TV Show
13.) Ryse
14.) Quantum Break
15.) Halo 5

Realistically, it'll be something between those two lists. Remember, they want to "kill" Sony at E3. Admirable. In order to do so, they'll have to come hard and throbbing, ready to smash with games games games.

A side note what the hell is up with all the smiley faces he does.  I swear it is like he gets paid per smiley so he throws as many into every post as he can.

Sony needs to find another building to raise 1 billion dollars.  Do they have any left?  Honest question.  I heard Kaz is working in his basement now.

MS is sounding more and more like Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory.  It all sounds good.  But what side effects does it come with?  That movie had some very dark messages btw.  Be careful.  Self control is good.  Movie full of jerks and I'm Charlie.

I could disable all sigs, usernames and avatars and still know I was reading a SolidTy post.Ninja-Hippo

Yeah 1 Billion.... of that 1 Billion, 500 million went to "EXCLUSIVE" rights of the NFL.... see typical MS being crafty with twisting words. NFL is football and therefore a "game", and 500 million was spent on its exclusivity....

Gotta love how MS spins things to mislead people, by telling the truth. MS are clever.

[QUOTE="SolidTy"]

[QUOTE="ninjapirate2000"] Look I get it you're a cow, but you still try to behind your 1 mill xbox pts and trophies to pass off your neutralness, but it's evident from your posting that you side with the cows. Which I have no problems with, but at least be truthful. The X1 reveal probably pushed you further, but whateves it was a terrible reveal. 

Before you respond, I know you will buy 5 xbox one's on launch and buy all the launch games. Cool. 

Stringerboy

Lordy, I really got you angry at my response to the thread. Maybe I should just quote you from now on instead of staying on topic. :lol:

Typical lemming fanboyisms mr ninjapirate2000. As far as we know, you like many aren't even invested that much in Xbox gaming but post your opinions as a Lem anyways. This is nothing new as far as your faction. People post to argue in SW, but don't game much. I see people defending the 3DS and Vita and don't own either. I see the same for Wii U. It's going to happen with PS4 and Xbone. The actual fun they have is foruming not gaming, I get it....you even went ad hominem since you couldn't refute my message ON THE TOPIC. ;) :lol:  What is the point of responding if you didn't want me to quote you? What's the point of interacting if you think you have it all figured out?  Look I know you are a Lemming, and it hurts you to know I gamed more on 360 and Xbox than you have, but let go of the jealousy and understand this is a stupid PR thread. You have over 30,000 gamerscore. I have nearly quadrupled that. Needless to say, my opinion on things Xbox are actually based on my experiences and investments in the machines.

A thread you are trying to get personal in...

Before you respond, I know you are blindly burning for all things Xbox. Before you respond, I don't expect you to even buy an Xbone at launch, but I do expect you will be raging hard in the forums as if you have one when it does release.

I have the money for two Xbone's as I've had all generation to save, but if the continued anti consumer policies stay in check, I may buy less. I really hope E3 is amazing, truly, but there is nothing wrong with calling out stupid PR for any company.

That's what this entire thread is about, some stupid PR...which by the way is old. We already heard this $1 Billion $$$ bit last week.

All PR from Capcom to Sony to Konami to Nintendo to Ubisoft to Activision to EA to Pepsi to Bettie Crocker is a joke. Show me the games, and I'll stop joking around.

I love gaming, I love games...but I hate stupid marketing. I will mock Jack, Aaron, Reggie, Nelson, Kaz, it doesn't matter. I've done it many times in the past. Half these Marketing guys and gals aren't even gamers, and they get to laugh and dance when they see their stupid press releases get fanboys so angry and arguing.

Stop playing into it, stop being butthurt about whatever I'm saying, and start funnelling your anger into the anti consumer situation we have here. If you are loud enough, as some of us are that are HEAVILY INVESTED in Xbox gaming, maybe, just maybe, those suits will relent and backpedal.

I don't want to pursue this conversation because all it does is play into stupid marketing ploys. Don't you feel like a marionette posting as you did? I know I did posting this. In the grand scheme of things, you either play or you don't, but listening to these guys prattle on is a waste of time.

We've gone beyond just listening to marketing drivel, some of us are arguing FOR the stupid PR they read...don't do it. For any company. They are paid to lie, get us to buy. It's their paycheck.

Still going lemmings? Damage control is a hard thing to conduct when everyone knows you're full of pure shitwhathursthemost

So much butthurt :P

Don't worry, I'm sure Sony will sell a building or something to fund their next round of exclusives.

They'll think of something I'm sure :lol:

 

amazing thread, thanks guys, thanks Ty, you know how to bring the lulz

[QUOTE="whathursthemost"] lol oh yeah I'm butthur that MS has 1billion dollars to use to invent a new technology that allows XBL to read your credit cards without having to take it out of your wallets. MS is a rich fawking company and they've always had all that money and even with the ones they make from XBL you lemmings still suffer from the wicked sickness of having NOOOOO gameswhathursthemost

Hahaha why you so mad?

To the contrary amigo. That very sentence tells everyone you're mad. To say XBL has no games, when in fact it has more games than the PS3, wreaks of a fanboys anger.

It's ok to be angry, just don't deny it.

Microsoft has basically said they have 15 exclusive games their first year.  It wouldn't surprise me if they stole some exclusives from Sony.  This is my biggest fear though and will destroy gaming for me.  I will not be buying hte xbox regardless.  It's ridiculous.  But MS isn't stupid.  Has Sony said how many exclusives they have the 1st year?  I could care less about call of duty.

Ah the typical cow trying to change the argument to suit his needs.

It's YOUR opinion PS3 games are better. It's in no way shape or form a fact. I personally didn't find KZ2, Uncharted or Resistance to be all that great. I got more enjoyment from Halo and Gears but ultimately the best games were multiplat, IMO of course.

In the end the 360 has more games which is what I was saying. I didn't say which had the better games because that will always be subjective. Try all you want, it that won't change the fact now will it?

Thats a lot of kinect titles.. not sure why they keep with the kinect, it's not like they had any good games for it before.Rattlesnake_8

Money doesn't necessarily give you the best games and hardware...
Look at Nintendo and what they did with Wii's profits, made a similar PS3/360 console with a tablet. :lol:
But am sure Microsoft and Sony will utilise their money and help Dev's make better games, in or out of house.

If they've got that much money to spend why didn't they spend more than they did on good hardware?

I think it speaks volumes that they are not about making or allowing games, but about buying games. They are in the finance business, not in the gaming business.

Like I said, Microsoft is going for the shock factor here. Microsoft always had tons of money to burn, but look how well that turned out for the 360.
