Welp Microsoft are in a world of trouble if Sony announces a few brand new games or new IPs. They would lose all the momentum they built up with the price drop.

This is my point, I'm not saying you can't enjoy those games, its subjective and those games can satisfy you, I never brought up Playstation. My point is the bolded
See, my post above. For all intents and purposes its what we would refer to as "indie." If you'd rather me say small downloadble title than thats fine.
Eh. I disagree with you then.
I consider indie games to be games made and owned by independent studios. "Downloadable games" is a much better umbrella term imo.

Every time his name pops up I think of Painful Fart
Like Sunset Overdrive then.
That's certainly closer to the definition of an indie game than Ori is. Seeing as how the game was funded and published by a major publisher, I wouldn't excactly call it an indie game either though.
Here is a Phil Spencer twitter conversation that says they have more games to announce for 2015

It's always interesting to see MS focusing on E3 and the US audience so much and then do shit at GC and TGS while the perception of some Gafers seem to suggest E3 is the only worthy place to unveil games.
I wouldn't go as far just yet but yeah, I feel MS dropped the ball here. It's nice to have a great holiday exclusives lineup and all but then you don't need to be surprised when your competitor takes the lead in the remaining 10 or 11 months of the year in NPD sales.
Their relatively barren release schedule for the first half of 2015 was what ultimately kept me from buying a XBO this holiday. Sunset Overdrive alone doesn't justify spending 300-400 bucks for me while all other games on XBO I'm interested in are available on PC and/or PS4. Here's hoping for a slim XBO bundled with Quantum Break for $299 in the fall next year.
dangit, you got me back!

an actual mess, i didn't even notice that typo

Yeah this strategy is going to come back to bite Sony in the ass when E3 rolls around and they literally have no games to show.
Sony has plenty of games lined up throughout 2015 as a whole.

Guys. Aaron Greenberg said it on Twitter. It can't be true.
What?

Duh, Forza 6 is unannounced, and there's a good chance we'll see another Ori-scale game or two announced. Smaller digital download titles don't need 12 months marketing hype.
And probably Gears Collection with Gears 4 MP Beta for Fall 2015.

There could be some crossover from TGA to PSX, but yeah probably not, maybe a some party games though.
It's the opposite. They spread it out more.
Uhh... how? The momentum they've gained with the price drop has pretty much been thanks to the Holiday season having a ton of third party releases/support. Both companies will have new games and IPs to announce next year, you know... as is the case every year.
Not sure if you are being sarcastic but I'm sure Sony has a lot of new game announcements planned at next year's E3 too. Would be surprised if the majority of it will be for 2015 though.

That list is oozing with quality.
I personally can't wait to play indies, indies, indies. I wonder what it's gonna scale on the metacritic.

Yup, it is.
So, yeah. But tough spot to be in for MS. On the one hand you want to sell your Xbox, on the other hand you have to support Windows with some games, too.

I thought I was getting a bargain at the time.
Still its good for KI and my friend likes AC. *shrugs*
And I still haven't got sunset overdrive (waiting till it hits about £20). So there is that.

This is a joke post right? The Xbox 360 had very good first party support for the first 4 or so years before relying on their primary stable of successful franchises you mention in your post. Even then, they still produced games that weren't in those franchises, just not as frequently. For the Xbox One we have a minimum of a few years before we can expect the same few franchises to be the only milk from the first party teet.
You're being silly, just because Microsoft does depend on a stable of reliable selling franchises doesn't mean they won't support other games as well. We saw multiple Viva Piñata games on the 360 even though the first didn't set the world on fire. We have a new Crackdown and Phantom Dust coming, which if you were to ask me, neither deserves to be made after the poor showing of Crackdown 2 or the likely horrendous sales of the first Phantom Dust. Sony relies on their stable of primary games, just the same as Microsoft and Nintendo do. You've got to take a step back and see that.

keep telling your self that brotha..
the problem with MS is that they only invest in games that will sell Millions.. yeah MS has some games coming to the Console in 2015 but for many of those its a new IP and you wont see a sequal if they dont sell... thats why you see halo, forza, Gears all the time

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
So much shit in one post. Kudos.
Yep. Killer Instinct, Quantum Break, Scalebound, Phantom Dust, Crackdown, Cuphead, State of Decay etc are all games that will all sell millions hence the investment by MS.

Its also funny reading the posts about how MS has no exclusives. Pot kettle black. Sony's output this year has been abysmal. I think you guys have misplaced your anger.

Do you practice cognitive dissonance or what? You and anyone else who consistently says the PS4's output has been abysmal, despite it having a larger library than Xbox One, is asinine.
Edit: Argh, I didn't read that you said 'exclusives', but even on that front there are technically more exclusive games on the PS4. As far as which games are better, that's another, subjective, issue. So it still remains that their output has not been abysmal.
He's talking about the output of exclusive first party titles.

Do you? I was specifically talking about Sony's output. You know, since we're shitting on MS for that I thought it was fair game.

All I want to say is let's not steer the discussion into list + my opinion>your opinion wars, please.
That never ends well.

I have, but I don't recall ever downplaying any part of any "list."
I list games as they are, from Halo to Hohokum. Whether or not any of you all want to discredit or devalue a particular game in the list,well, that's your opinion.
