Xbox One - The Games

At last week’s Microsoft event -- in which the Xbox One was revealed -- the company noted that Xbox One will be receiving 15 exclusive games in its first year on the market. Notably, eight of those games are promised to be from all-new franchises. One of which -- Quantum Break -- has already been shown.

Microsoft's focus on exclusive games with the Xbox One is likely a direct response to criticism levelled at the company during the Xbox 360 era, in which it had few exclusive games, although those exclusives -- like Halo, Gears of War and Fable -- were huge hits. This puts Microsoft into direct competition with Sony, which has traditionally more heavily emphasised its exclusive content.
