      Editing … This kind of thing always happens, but gaming always continues. If you ask me the state of the industry is still pretty good. Sure, paid dlc is bad but if you stop buying it they'll stop making it. Games are getting better all the time, mostly. Once JRPG's make their comeback all will be well in the land of nod.

      Editing … Instead of doubling down on first-party content, they shut down the few remaining studios they still have. The fuck is wrong with MSFT's management?? Their 1St party output is laughable compared to every other console manufacturer in the history of gaming.

      Editing … Going by Gears of War and Mass Effect last gen and Rise of the Tomb Raider and Sunset Overdrive this time round Microsoft's seems to like hiring third party devs to make an exclusive/timed exclusive for them compared to actually owning a studio. Means they don't have to fund the studio later in the gen when they don't care about giving fans exclusives any more because they already bought the console.

      Editing … They have a pretty good 2016 lineup so far http://www.gamespot.com/gallery/xbox-one-game-exclusives-confirmed-for-2016/2900-434/15/ with far more to be announced at E3 and Gamescom. Though they really need to add some talented first party studios But it's not like Lionhead had an exceptional library of great games, they really only made Fable and in my opinion Fable was always way overhyped.

      Editing … I don't really understand why people care about exclusives. I mean, when people buy a console, isn't just for playing games? Why is it important that people who bought another consoles can't play the same game?

      Editing … I don't know @Ed Kick, I'm tired of Gears of War by now but a 5th game in the series is probably meant to be the AAA highlight of that 2016 line up you posted. Quantum Break looks like it might be good and Recore caught my interest even though there's just an announcement trailer that doesn't show gameplay, they're both coming to PC though so if I hear they're great I'll get them on that.

      Editing … I agree @Leo Barbosa. It'd be great if every exclusive for every console was multiplatform instead and everyone got to play them, thing is though there's a good chance no console having exclusives would actually mean the games that are exclusives right now just wouldn't get made instead. On balance I'm okay with exclusives existing. Which then leaves us with the who has the best exclusives and who isn't trying dilemma.

Below, Pit People, Cuphead, Oxenfree, Quantum Break, Scalebound, Sea Of Thieves, Superhot, Cobalt, ReCore, Crackdown 3, We Happy Few, Gigantic, Tacoma, Halo Wars 2, Gears 4, Killer Instinct S3. Plus any surprises and anything I forgot to list. Those aren't all first party but between those and all the multiplat games I'm anticipating it will be a very good year for me as an Xbox1 owner. As an Xbox1 owner of course I want to see tons of exclusives and for them to be great and do well but a game being exclusive doesn't make it more enjoyable.

      Editing … Microsoft really needs to try, and grow new studios. Fable Legends was not going to amount to anything, so why did they work on it for 4 years? Rare is looking pretty good with Sea of Thieves. Quantum Break, and Recore both have potential, but besides that it is a lot of old series. Even though I am not a Sony fan at all you have to be blind not see that they are aggressive when it comes to growing new IPs that are pretty interesting. Microsoft realizes, and are trying to bounce back but not being aggressive enough.

Every sequel they made was worse than the original it was based off, and Fable Legends was just another boat in the sea of MOBA garbage.
