Console launch exclusive?

You can make a passable argument that MS lacks in diversity, but what it doesn't lack is exclusives. How many exclusive games were at the conference? You can count them, there were a significant amount shown off that were not on competitors platforms

Next Year it will

Are you serious? They didn't announce a single full exclusive AAA game. It was all timed exclusives.
 
Probably, I can't imagine Ori 2 is a true exclusive. I believe the original has done well on Steam. Regardless, I'll probably get that Day 1, Xbox exclusive or not.

I'll go out on a limb and say Ori 2 will be a console exclusive. Maybe out on steam, but I doubt it will be on PS. MS essentially bought that franchise as far as consoles are concerned. I wouldnt be upset if it comes to PS, because Ori is the best game of all time and I want everyone to play it. But I expect Xbox and Win10 only based on their wording. Maybe Steam, maybe not, but not PS.
 
Oh dear... come on now.
Hey, I'm just listing exactly what they had. BC games are Xbox exclusives for list purposes. LOL.

That 22 console exclusive game figure that they liked saying, included previously released games like Gears 4 and Forza Horizon 3 btw.

Timed console exclusives vs. PS4 maybe, but not true Xbox exclusives.

About 95% of the games shown in the conference are already on PC or will launch on PC at the same time as Xbox X.

These are the ones that won't show up on competitor's platforms:
Forza 7
State Of Decay 2
Sea Of thieves
Crackdown 3
Ori 2
Crimson Skies (BC game)
Cuphead

Only Three of these had not been officially announced before, and one of them is a BC game from the OG Xbox era.
 
Might just be crap wording sometimes. Cause Darwin Project which said "console launch exclusive" claims it is only coming to Xbox One and PC, at least by the PR piece I just got emailed.

Didn't say announements, i said if you look at the games at their conference...meaning games we've already seen, games we know are coming, PC accompanied releases ect

Ori,crackdown, forza 7 to name just 3 off of the top of my head

these are not debatable exclusives that you have to buy an xbox for if you don't have a PC

Well if it's a timed exclusive, any PR would be focused on that I would assume?

Xbox and PC*

They were specific and had preceding banners on each trailer that included, world première, console launch exclusive and console exclusive.

The announcer kept saying exclusive which I think caught a few people out.

Ya keep missing Super Lucky Tale apparently a Xbox and Windows 10 exclusive.
 
Unreleased actual exclusives on stage--
Forza 7
State Of Decay 2
Sea Of thieves
Crackdown 3
Ori 2
Cuphead
Crimson Skies (BC)
Holy crap all of their "real" exclusives are games that have already been announced? Did they really not have any full exclusives that are new? Next year's looking grim if so...
 
Is Battlegrounds timed? I'm wondering for how long.

For 2017 because will launch on Xbox One’s Game Preview Program, same thing happened with Ark.

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA – June 11, 2017 – Bluehole, Inc., announced today from the Microsoft press conference at E3 2017 that PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS, the first standalone Battle Royale video game with more than three million units sold on Steam, will launch exclusively on Xbox One’s Game Preview Program later this year. The final game will launch in 2018 across the Xbox One family of devices, which includes Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X.
 
While both Sony and MS use this BS, Microsoft went a step further today with voice over announcing the game as EXCLUSIVE when on the screen it clearly said Launch Exclusive. It was quite pathetic.

Just an unfortunate mistake with the sample. They meant for the voiceover to say "Not exclusive".

That's a bit dishonest when they showed many timed exclusive games, for what we know could take months to a year until it releases on Ps4.

Not nearly enough of what they should have done I agree, but it's not like it's not worth mentioning.

Could be like inside where the exclusivity was just like 2 months
 
See, console launch exclusives doesn't make sense to me because if you go to the Xbox store right now you can see a section called "Console Launch Exclusives" that has games like Halo 5 and shit in there which are actual exclusives.

So unless the developer comes out and says that the game is a timed exclusive we basically don't know what the fuck type of exclusive it is.
