If Scorpio really is the most powerful console, then I'll buy it for multiplats only.

From personal experience Xbox seems to be for more casual core gamers who buy the latest CoD and Fifa only each year so I don't think exclusives matter one bit. A lot of it is down to where their friends play, what controller they prefer and the experience they have with the online servers.
Personally I feel like Halo just isn't very good anymore and the Gears formula is getting very long in the tooth. Forza is the best racing game on any platform but I can just play that on my PC from now on.
and the next halo will be on pc, too
Xbox lost its viability when it lost its exclusives to PC. So for those that demand the console experience are the three franchises enough? Gears is starting to lose its luster and Halo seems to disappoint more often with its campaign. That leaves Forza, which I don't get how anyone needs more then one per generation.
The Xbox One has 1017 games: Exclusive = 34, Console exclusive = 119, Multi-platform = 847.
The PS4 has 1294 games: Exclusive = 113, Console exclusive = 379, Timed Exclusives = 37, Multi-platform = 690
Personally I believe the Xbox division treating PC Windows gaming as a competitor not a complimentary platform has always been a mistake, but to me the first sign that the Xbox division were perhaps being held accountable to a level they previously have not been was the release of Rare Replay, because that's a one off 'firesale' of multiple treasured IPs for a quick return on investment.
You mean halo wars? Sure that will be. I don't believe a mainline successor to 5 has been announced yet, so we can't say for sure that a halo 6 would be on pc. Chances look good now, but nothing is official as far as I know.
Play Anywhere is pretty complimentary
.... Yes? Kind of.
I mean, I don't expect those games to be system sellers in the prime of their heights at the 360 era ( except Forza that's stable )
But if it's still going to have 99% of western third-party support I think the brand is strong enough to be viable.
Also, does that means we'll get to see broader stuff like a Halo RPG, or a Gears Visual Novel?
I don't want to derail, but Play Anywhere is a Value Add for Xbox One digital purchasers, not a thing to particularly entice PC gamers.
How would it not if those games would not have been on PC otherwise?
Don't they kind of coast by with those already? Exclusives don't matter as much as they used to, and as long as they foster their Xbox Live ecosystem and keep strong third party support, they'll be fine.
They should make MasterChef a dad in Halo 6. With like a little cheif kid. And they can have poignent moments together.
I don't know if this is a play on "Halo is dad" but I love it.They should make MasterChef a dad in Halo 6. With like a little cheif kid. And they can have poignent moments together.
Halo: Combat Goes On
Halo: Combat Gets Old
Halo: Combat Hair Loss
Second thought let's just do Forza Wars
I dont see the treating the pc as a competitor link really.
I don't know, Nintendo are the only console manufacturer running their gaming division as their sole means of making money not as a trojan horse for other purposes and trying to bleed the competition out by outspending them, with the end result they are perceived to be over priced and under powered.

I think MS's universal windows system for future apps and games development is what will drive the xbox. Hopefully this will bring more stuff to the console and future xbones down the road that may have been PC only in the past. Add in play anywhere and I think that's an attractive package. Even if the game is available for PlayStation, people will buy the PC/xbone version due to the added value of it working on both systems. So, Xbox exclusives may soon be a thing of the past.
Forza actually tempts me to get a Xbox. it's just I don't play that much nowadays
honestly it is ridiculous how Sony just lets several years go by without a proper Gran Turismo, when I would have devoured a GT6 upport to PS4 with better framerate and draw distance, a game I already bought jesus christ Sony
Are u Ben Carson?
Wut?
Last GT that knocked my socks off was Gran Turismo 3. It's getting killed by a better Forza experience. I think Forza has had better physics for years now.In all honesty I would say Forza is better than Gran Turismo and has been for a long time. Considering they pump it out every two years, while PD takes forever it seems to make a new game I would think that Gran Turismo would be better, but Forza I just simply find more fun. (Both Motorsports and Horizon)
I feel like it has been over a decade since there has been a great Gran Turismo, while there is a great Forza pretty much every year.
