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.

Not really sure what xbox has ever brought to the table.

If people want to stay with xbox that's upto them. Not for me though.

Power wise, xboxone is has no chance against the PS4.

Of course it's the games that matter, but imo SONY'S first party are unmatched.

The makers of HALO are showcasing DESTINY at sony's conference.

It think that speaks volumes.

PS4 for me.

Another Shooter... I will pass all the shooters since the halo fad began are terrible. The who shooting games fetish needs to end.

1 billion is drop in the bucket for MS I sure they drop a few 100mill in ads to for halo to get people to buy into it.

$1 billion and only 15 exclusives ???

Clearly this $1Bn is going to be spread over the lifetime of the console, not for 15 exclusives... :3eyes:
