Exclusives all gone for Microsoft?

http://xbox.joystiq.com/2009/03/14/mtvs-totilo-concerned-about-ms-xbox-exclusives-in-09/

So what are your thoughts? I think Microsoft has it underwraps until E3 but if they dont have anything it will be a long year for them. I really hope they have some good exclusives at E3.

MTV news?

You're serious?

You actually read this and gave it even an ounce of your attention?

they got to have exclusives. its one of the fattest reasons why people buy other consoles.

you think if halo, gears of war and GTA L&D were multi platformed people would take a chance with this console?...No.

so if microsoft doesnt got anything to show for that opens a lot of doors for sony

I doubt it, besides they already released one, Halo Wars, jsut cuz it wasnt huge it was still an exclusive.

I doubt we're going to get much more. The only exclusive that looks like it's worth anything for the rest of this year is ODST, which is basically a game from 2007 with a different campaign. Don't get your hopes up people. If Microsoft had much else they'd have likely announced it already.

Bungie's working on ODST and they already said that the earliest they'll announce their next project is late this year(which leaves no hope of it coming out this year). Gears 2 came out not to long ago, so don't expect another Gears game for a while. At least not this year. Robot Entertainment will likely be to busy handling post launch Halo Wars to do much else this year. Rare just released Nuts and Bolts not long ago and they typically take their sweet time with each game, so don't expect anything from them for a good while. Lionhead just released Fable 2 not long ago so don't expect anything from them for a while. It seems Mist Walker has pulled support from Microsoft as they've canceled Cry On and seem to be moving toward the DS.

I'm not seeing anything happening this year unless Peter Jackson surprises us showing that he's actually been doing something with the Halo games he's been working on for years.

if nothing else we're still getting some pretty good multiplatform titles.

i'm gald i like games to be able to be bought by anyone

If you consider the fact that all the previous exclusives were released so close together it's not too surprising.

Don't tell me you're actually worried about something MTV news brought up! They are so innacurate and they even shift words around for more dramatic stories. Don't worry, man. Plus, even if they did lose their exclusives because of cross-platforming, all they would be doing is giving the exclusives partially back to Sony! Hahahaha.

Was 2008 really that amazing? I only bought two 360 exclusives, compared to PS3's three. (Wii only got one purchase from me.)istuffedsunny

Seeing as how they bought the rights to exclusive DLC for a few games i think that goes to show that they dont have much in the way of console exclusives in the next while.

This is kind of a side note but... I really don't care much for PS3 exclusives and my Wii is gathering dust. That said, even if the 360 doesn't have many it puts it on an even playing field with Sonys machine... and since I already have the 360 I don't see as it's going to matter much. Of course having a few big named exclusives would be great, but have a ton of great multiplatform games is far better.

lololololol mtv and games wow

it really annoyed me how the ps3 got my favourite game ever and with extras, i mean bioshock should have stayed with the 360 and pc as microsoft exclusives coz now we have nothing. unless they announce gears of war 3 at E3

hows about "ninja blade" isnt that an exclusive? or.. where did i go wrong?

what abou rare , they used to pump out loads of titles now? 1 every so often that are not AAAE

Well Microsofts 2 main exclusives are Halo and Gears and this is a Halo year so the hype machine for ODST should go into effect soon since Halo is Microsofts main exclusive. Theres also Forza 3 that I believe is supposed to be released this year, as well as the the next DLC for GTA4. Splinter Cell Conviction may release that year and I believe that may be exclusive as well and seeing how popular and how great past SC games have been, id call that another big exclusive for Microsoft. Thats 3 exclusives already known and were still yet to have E3 where others are more then likely to be announced. Its not even like a company typically releases a ton of exclusives in a year. Just a few marquee ones that hopefully deliever.

Oh no the great games might not be exclusive to the system you own.... tragic.

Seriously if the game is great, you should be more concerned about the game, rather than its platform choice.

I don't think it's exclusives that sells more 360's then the PS3 every month. It's better games all around.Sins-of-Mosin

alan wake and sc:conviction an nounced at e3

Mass Effect 2 and Alan Wake are both exclusive on console, 360. But also on the PC. They also have franchises such as Gears and Halo. and Splitner Cell games have never really been an exclusive. And look at the site it was reported on, it looked like something I made in my spare time.
