Trust me, if Microsoft could trash talk Sony they would but can’t so won’t. And the times they could have Sony was clever and humble enough to come forth, admit guilt, apologize and move forwards.

Its about convincing his bosses and those on the board of directors and investors, that games take time to get traction and are nesseary part of launching a console. And Launch titles are more about getting money, they are necessary to stay alive in the 1st year before install base is big enough to recoup development costs for st party titles. I bet you many of these launch titles for MS/Sony do not get back their value, but its a necessary cost to gain traction for the system.

That patience is what they needed to give Rare. But they did the exact opposite and demanded specific launch dates and forced Rare to twist and warp projects to reach a certain goal or launch date back during the XboxOG and 360 days. Almost anytime a title didn’t sell well enough they had Rare work on a new franchise. Bungie has hinted about the heavy parenting hand that Microsoft had that stifled them.

The guys who head the Xbox division are absolutely fantastic but they have to deal with all this politics in the corporate giant that is MS.

lol nice one its the other way around gamingbolt will try to bring ps4 on every xbox thread and that comes from a pc gamer.
