New, Exclusive IP’s
Admittedly, PlayStation has been dominating the early part of this year with their exclusive titles, many of which could already be contenders for Game Of The Year. While Sony has released hit after hit, with Horizon: Zero Dawn and Persona 5 just to name a few, Microsoft may have to win gamers back with some promising new IP’s, especially after canceling titles such as Fable Legends as well as the drama involving Scalebound.
Last year we got ReCore, which only stands at a 63% on Metacritic, and Quantum Break, which performed much better but still fell below expectations. As for franchises, so far all that is rumored to be announced is a new Halo title that will not be a sixth installment of Master Chief’s story. If Microsoft can sweeten the deal by offering a handful of good exclusives, those who were considering picking up the PS4 Pro may feel differently when it comes time to throw their money down.
