As you may already know, Microsoft’s next-gen console Xbox One comes as an stand alone gaming device which can even cut-down the previous Xbox generation from existence in the near future, thanks to its’ no backwards compatible rule. Which means that you can’t play any Xbox 360 games on the new console. So, the survival of the next-gen console solely remains on making Xbox exclusive titles.
So far, Microsoft has announced that Xbox One will get 15 exclusive games, including Quantum Break, Ryse and Forza Motorsport 5. Rest of the games hasn’t been announced yet. But they will possibly be revealed in the upcoming E3 event. But, is 15 games enough to make this console better than others?
Xbox One has many features that fits everyone. However, since it’s a gaming console, and one that no better than PlayStation 4 (in my opinion), the next-gen Xbox will need a lot of exclusive titles to keep up the sales. Microsoft has reportedly invested $1 billion dollars, already on Xbox One exclusive games. Halo, Uncharted and Gears of War are some of the Microsoft’s biggest selling games. It’s possible that we may get to see sequels for these games after the Xbox One launch, along with a few more Xbox only games to make the Xbox One more appealing. But, it’s highly unlikely for them to head out with the console in the holiday season.
And of course, by that time we will have many PS4 games as well. So, what will happen for the Xbox One?
