Microsoft has $1 billion to invest in X1 exclusives

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.

Here's how E3 is going to go for you lemmings. 1. You'll tune in with a gross bottle of mountain dew and some snacks. 2. You'll have a second tab opened with system wars with the first tab being E3 Live stream 3. MS will come on stage and start showing data and talking and talking 4. You'll be waiting and say okay good good, buh where are the games... 5. MS is still talking and you're still watching... 6. MS says thanks for coming and goodbye 7. You're shocked and still thinking "buh buh where are the games???" 8. Then you'll come on system wars to update us on how many Buildings SONY as sold...to distract us from the fact that you still had nooooooo freakling games....and then we'll respond with mocking you with this... whathursthemost

[QUOTE="KungfuKitten"][QUOTE="Miketheman83"] I think it speaks volumes that you think Kaz makes all the Sony games with his bare hands. News flash, Sony pays developers the same way Microsoft does.shawn30

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="shawn30"] What you juts said makes no sense. Do you think Sony bakes games in a oven, or do you think they pay their developers to make them? If you believe the latter then the same fits for MS paying their developers and third party. The only difference is MS has deeper pockets while Sony is having a garage sale every quarter to get outta debt :) MS's gaming talent is translated in the multi-million seller exclusive franchises they have, the 48 million who game on Xbox Live, and the business decision that have them operating in the black for the last 5 years. shawn30

[QUOTE="whathursthemost"][QUOTE="shawn30"] That really makes no sense. If you buy a MS console you want MS to bring great games to it. However they get those games doesn't mean a damn thing as long as they do. Nintendo, Sony, and MS are corporations looking to make a profit. Neither is better or worse than the other.shawn30

[QUOTE="shawn30"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]I don't think you come from a business background. MS cannot just throw money at devs no matter how much they have. Stockholders want profit......LJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="shawn30"] And yet they do, and the profits, 5 years worth, show up. Their business model has worked, period. Its undeniable. And I have a background in IT and business, thank you. But some things are common sense.shawn30

[QUOTE="shawn30"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] IT has nothing to do with the business aspect I'm talking about. The past is gone....I'm talking about your present statement that MS will just continue to throw money at games because they have it. IF games become unprofitable....no they won't.LJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]

[QUOTE="shawn30"] But we don't know if the games they have thrown their money at will be unprofitable, lol. Unless you and the other cows care to share your time machine :) MS track record for buying third party exclusives (Gears of War, Mass Effect 1 at the time of its release) are pretty good. We shall have to wait and see but if it aint broke they won't fix it. Multiplats sell more than exclusives and MS will buy more of them, period. Its been a successful business model thus far. That's is the present and what they will work on in the future.shawn30

[QUOTE="shawn30"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] And you don't know if the games will even be good....yet that hasn't stopped you from hyping the games. If gamers react to the new console as the comments suggest...then yes MS does have a problem this gen. If they limit the install base to just the few hard core Xbox fanboys....they won't be seeing profit.LJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="shawn30"][QUOTE="whathursthemost"] hjonestly I hope one day you lemmings realize how stupid you sound with discussing stocks and accounting in a gaming forum. fFirst of all, if you have to bring up anything abolut finance besides sales, that means your company fawking sucks pure balls...and second of all, it's sad and obvious that the only reason you're defending them is because you want to justify your crappy decision making skills. And third of all you're DEFENDING them. Hey it's okay to charge us fees and shpow us ads and give us no games and make us pay to use things we're already paying for, just as long as you stockholders and profiting. Who cares about games? Who wants games on a gaming console these days anyways?? that's how dumb you guys soundwhathursthemost

Damn your jimmies are rustled 24/7 :lol:

[QUOTE="shawn30"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]MS has never been the console for the casuals...it's main demographic has always been the gamer. As for preorders....they don't mean much. People just want to hold a slot so they get one at launch. Doesn't mean they can't cancel.LJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="whathursthemost"][QUOTE="shawn30"] Cows and English, facts, and common sense don't mix. No way I'm arguing with that wall of stupid, lol :)RR360DD

Damn your jimmies are rustled 24/7 :lol:

[QUOTE="RR360DD"]

[QUOTE="whathursthemost"] lol typographical errors. Ooh big deal. Cause you're so perfect, huh? You lemmings are the most stupid and most invalid of all system wars factions...Guessing you were all in hiding until the xb1 reveal?whathursthemost

[QUOTE="shawn30"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Yes. But that doesn't mean it will work for them. Look at Nintendo, the Wii, and casuals.LJS9502_basic
