It has been revealed that Microsoft will be investing around $1 billion into developing exclusive games for the Xbox One, responding to complaints that the Xbox One is not focused enough on the gaming experience. In an interview with The Official Xbox Magazine, Microsoft's Don Mattrick and Phil Spencer have provided some insight into what we can expect game-wise on the Xbox One.

Microsoft has previously stated that the Xbox One will see a full 15 exclusive titles in the first year of the console's availability, including eight that are new IP. So far we're only aware of a few games for the console, including Forza Motorsport 5, Quantum Break and Ryse, but more will be revealed in just a few weeks' time.

More Kinect dancing games. One of them could be a Kinect driven TV trivia game

I do find it extremely surprising they spend that money on exclusives, but cannot find enough scratch to create their own game engine.

Makes it even more surprising when you consider this is Microsoft, y'know, the company behind DirectX...
