KnackChap Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 surprised that mafia 3 and mirrors edge didnt debut at the conf when both are scheduled to be out with new trailers today. looks like 3rd party publishers dont want their IP's to be attached to the xbox brand. the only new deal they could manage was homefront Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And lets be honest they can bag these deals if they really want it,the have the funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteWolf Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Mafia franchise is not that big..It's not as popular as other open world games like AC,GTA nd all..I seriously doubt Sony or MS will spend any money to get it as exclusive on their platform.. Well division,fallout and even fifa are pretty good deals.Cod and battlefront are huge deals for sony but with halo as mp exclusive game coming this years,i guess it makes more sense to get behind it fully.And lets be honest they can bag these deals if they really want it,the have the funds. Yeah Dark Souls 3, Fallout 4, Rainbow 6, Division, AC Syndicate, Unity, Dragon Age and Evolve last year... Sony got COD exclusive deal coz MS ended their partnership with Activision as COD was not helping MS move Xbox units like lastgen... AND DON'T FORGET FIFA.

KnackChap Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 mafia 2 had an exclusive deal on ps3. and lets be honest, microsft wants to spend money but no one is giving them anything or just giving them the scraps. the best they can manage is something like homefront or early access titles. in 1 1/2 years we have gone from debuting first on 'X' to debuting first on the platform via early access* (by paying for it.). they lost their partnership with activision from destiny being 1 year exclusive to losing cod DLC. EA and Ubisoft backed out after 1 year with both after BF4 and unity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggr happy ss Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 It's not like the mother company M$ will keep on bleeding money on xbox brand irrespective if there are returns or not this notion on the web that cos the mother company is loaded it'll keep on willingly bleed on xbox is pretty weird & childish They have enough funds to buy out 10 major AAA exclusives from third parties but they don't do that for a reason Well i did say if they want it ,didn't i? It has to fit into their strategy,obviously they wont go and buy exclusive deals for all games and waste money. They invested 2.5 billion in the minecraft deal,they definitely must have seen something there. Also sony has a weak lineup this fall,so it makes sense for them to make these deals.This is something they have acknowledged also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sach4life Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 2.5 billion deal on minecraft dev. isn't part of the Xbox brand Just like hololense it is a much wider investment than Xbox Minecraft isn't popular on consoles it's most popular on weaker mobile devices like laptops,smart phones & touch devices they didn't spend that 2.5b with Xbox in mind Minecraft has sold more than 20 million copies on consoles. It is popular on every device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
