It all makes sense now. Riccitello wandered onto the wrong stage that E3.

Actually they could be more, if they really snagged some third party exclusivity. 15 are only the Micorosft Studios ones.So the 15 exclusives are something like:
Wouldn't EA turn bankrupt if they had most of their popular titles (Mirrors edge, Dragon Age) exclusive to the XO?
EA and Microsoft. Forces of evil are gathering...
If the system bombs yeah, but I don't think they will be exclusive or go bankrupt. The reason they release it on all the platforms is to reach every audience possible (make money) who might not own all of the consoles.Wouldn't EA turn bankrupt if they had most of their popular titles (Mirrors edge, Dragon Age) exclusive to the XO?

So the 15 exclusives are something like:
Halo 5
Forza 5
Killer Instinct
Mirror's Edge 2
Dragon Age 3
Fable IV
Gears
New IP
Quantum Break
Ryse
Rumored Insomniac game
Kinect Fitness
Kinect Game 2
Kinect Game 3
XBLA Game
XBLA Game 2
After Dragon Age 2 and SWTOR, I couldn't care less if its MS exclusive.
Although a bit worrying if EA has gone exclusive right across the board lol. (For Sony, not me)
"no shit mountain for you, sony"I guess Sony will have to cry itself to sleep.
Wouldn't an exclusive, multiple-year partnership with EA eat up a ton of that apparent "1 billion in exclusives!" claim MS made?
Or was that 1 billion figure just some crazy hyperbole?
its messed up though. If EA for instance does a Mass Effect, and brings the first part of a franchise to Xbox one only (and MS pays for whatever EA might have made on the PS4 version plus some extra), that then hamstrings them down the line for future versions of the game.
Year one you can get away with being moneyhatted, it wouldn't cost that much to cover the losses from the other platform. But years 2+ you need to go multiplatform, so why piss off the PS4 userbase in advance?
Honestly I think Dragon Age 2 could have been a good game, but it's very very clear that it got rushed to release. Besides the endemic content reuse (I actually don't think there's a single new setpiece in Act 2 or Act 3), the third Act's plot doesn't make a lick of sense and the ending basically comes out of nowhere with no real build-up. That's a clear sign that a game was rushed. The Saboteur has a similar sort of issue and we know that was rushed.
I mean, there are a bunch of problems with the general direction BioWare has been taking, but I don't read much into Dragon Age II besides that it was rushed.
If this ends up being true I do not like it one bit. WTF is EA going to be MS first party or something?
I mean OMG ALL OF EA'S GAMES ARE XBOX EXCLUSIVE OMG!!!

Well since its looking like Witcher 3 is exclusive to PS4 at the moment it would seem that Sony has won this battle. I dont want to return to the shit mountian.
OMG you guys. Take nirolak's hint.
These will come to PC/PS4 aswell. No way they are losing out on all that money. Would be so stupid.
They can keep it, fuck Dragon Age.
Dragons Age 1 was amazing imo.
They got a ton of backlash for the sequel, doubt they go that route again.
