Sony talks with Devs and Indis. MS talks with Hollywood.
Oh, I see what you're saying now.
Yeah, it's a good point. It's going to be interesting to see how much content MS makes in-house with the new Xbox Entertainment Studios in LA, and how much is done in partnership with someone else.
However, there are more Xbox Live subscribers than there are Netflix subscribers (46m+ Gold subscribers). They are also appealing to the hundreds of millions of people around the world who still subscribe to cable as well. Yes, their new Guide will launch first in the US, but it will of course expand over time. MS is aiming for an extremely broad market, so they're hoping to sell a lot of units. I also wouldn't be surprised to see the Xbox One offered subsidized from Comcast or other cable providers, pushing its adoption further. The potential market for the Xbox One is huge because it covers so many bases.

Exactly... which is why I get a chuckle every time I come across someone mentioning the "15 exclusives for the Xbone!" It's BS and minuscule compared to what we can expect from Sony.

Microsoft have invested $1 billion into games alone for Xbox One and have opened several new gaming studios.
15 first party published exclusives in the Xbox One's first year will be tough for the PS4 to match, never mind when it comes to third party exclusives etc.

"1 billion" is a meaningless marketing number that tells us absolutely nothing: We don't even know whether it is accurate and what it includes.
"15 games" is equally irrelevant, we don't know either manufacturer's lineup so far (we know more about Sony's) and we especially don't know whether MS can even hold their promise and what is included in it.
I like that MS is catering to a wide audience.
Interested in the talent they can get involved. Nathan Fillion, Alan Tuydk and Drew Goddard being involved in the Halo tv series would sell me on the show.
proof?
Set the standards high why don't you.

It really is the 1990s all over again. Let me just state an irrefutable fact: you cannot marry the "storytelling power of TV with the interactive nature of games." It's a fucking pipe dream. They are two different mediums. At best, you'll get a half-baked version of what Kojima does. At worst, you get Night Trap and Sewer Shark.

There's no need for proof: Even if that number is accurate, not knowing what they spend it on and how it was calculated means it is irrelevant. That number doesn't say anything, it's just a value meant to dazzle at an underwhelming press conference: A carrot in front to keep people from falling off.
Well it's generally in response to "MS doesn't make games anymore!". So then someone says "Well they did say there'll be 15 exclusives", and apparently that's BS and nothing compared to Sony. I don't really see a way for MS to look good in that conversation. Pretty interesting though.
Gonna have to move XboxOne over to off topic soon enough.

Is that an insider hint or hopeful salt?Wait until you see the amount of Kinect integration for the internal studios - GAF will explode
Lol.

I don't give two shits what you choose to believe.
Microsoft have invested $1 billion into gaming on the Xbox One. Microsoft have 15 first party published games coming in the Xbox One's first year (we can even name most of them!) Microsoft have opened no less than 5 new studios, including Osaka for Japanese content.
Them's the facts, you can speculate based solely on your long established anti-Microsoft agenda that it's all PR if you'd like.
I love the fact that you're posting vagaries and claiming "them's the facts".
If the leaked list you seem to be referring to is actually accurate, their first party lineup is supremely weak.
Thanks for contributing Sir.
The cable provider ppl will not give in to this.
Sony talks with Devs and Indis. MS talks with Hollywood.
You mean the typical American football-watching, snack-eating buffoon? Yeah that audience is quite wide these days.

I never claimed any leaked list is accurate.
Love how you were so quick to move the goalposts though.

God. Sometimes I hate video games.
