Not an exclusive, although it's launch exclusive on Xbox, but Ooblets is Pokemon mixed with Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon.

It is posts like these that I wish there was a like button. Yeah, I don't get it as well. That is all we hear from a lot of folks and now that MS is doing something about these same people are saying they should of "grown the studios". It is like none of the negative people have any business sense at all.
Fire Emblem Fates sold million+ in Western countries.
Xenoblade 2 has sold over a million and has charted really well in USA and U.K.
I'm not sure if I would call these franchise niche tbh?
I've read your post on Pokémon but you saying it's so non-niche/a juggernaut that it shouldn't be involved in conversation at all just seems wrong.
Yeah but I don't see why they'd sell as they're more than doing fine right now
Edit: also, technically speaking they're Maltese now.
Well shit, if they're able to put out Pillars I and II with no talent, that's a helluva achievement.
It's going to be hilarious if this speculated Japanese developer turns out to be Platinum Games.
Quite the opposite. It coming straight from Schreier's mouth pretty much guarantees it to be legitimate.
I was joking but I wouldn't past MS dropping that kind of dough on a single company. If they want it, they'll buy it.
SEGA is a way better acquisition than From. You'd have an internationally recognized mascot like Sonic, something for the hardcore JRPG player in SMT and a steady stream of other high quality JRPGS with Atlus. Not to mention an MMO (Phantasy Star Online) and other retro IPs that they can bring back. No doubt that a From acquisition would be great for hardcore players but I'm certain Microsoft is looking at the bigger picture here. Hell, Platinum would be a better pickup than From and is a lot more realistic.
holy shit, wow
that's a good get for MS
next gen is going to be super interesting, MS and Sony couldn't be on more different paths right now in terms of how they approach hardware, software, and features

IO Interactive is located in Scandinavia (Denmark) not eastern europe.
From the posts I see here I suspect Sony owns 70% of Era already.
Eh, if you want to play it bad enough I guess you can deal with it? Not saying lessening options is fun, just noting that there will be an option for non-Xbox owners.
Allright Microsoft! Get,get,get! Nothing wrong with building an arsenal.
Next XBox is gonna be so stacked,ouch!

It's a good move. I like a lot of stuff Microsoft has been doing with the Xbox One but the first party lineup is a bit lacking for me.
Money talk, Kadokawa aint worried about regional sales. Invest small and have huge profits.
LoL
And then enforce a heavily moderated, pro-Microsoft stance as Rule #1.
I don't need Era crashing for a week. Though maybe I'd get some work done.
It's also worth remembering that the Microsoft that cancelled Stormlands is not quite the Microsoft of today and Obsidian probably realizes that.
I don't mind missing out on hype but I do like to play a game from time to time.
Platinum Games has already Babylons Fall, Bayonetta 3 and Granblue Fantasy in works. BF and Bayo 3 are probably quite some time away. Bayo 3 is funded by Ninty and Granblue is funded by CyGames. So no, don't think it will happen.
This is good news if true. Obsidian gets stability and Microsoft gets a good developer that could possibly be even better, if given a little more time to polish their products. With Fable from Playground and another RPG from Obsidian they're suddenly looking very strong in that department.
Many of us complained about their weak first party, especially regarding single player games, but they really put their money where their mouth is. They seem determined to fix things and it's hard to ask for more.

I think ERA has gotten used to writing off Xbox and MS thinking they'll just be a Halo / Gears / Forza factory and not much else. It's going to be painful when MS starts announcing epic single player games that they want.
In part true, but I still think they do have a quite a few talented devs there.
At least PoE2 turned out awesome, but they have lost quite a few people since then even
Okay guys, it's actually Quantic Dream. That 3 game Sony deal is over and its time for MS to shine getting David Cage to replace Peter Molyneux.
Emotions in true 4K. No upscaling shite.
If Microsoft wants to make an easy japanese studio purchase, Mistwalker is in big financial troubles right now with the failure of Terra Battle 2.
Good... what about giving them the Too Human IP?
That universe was awesome and a nice RPG set in it would crush things.

11 Bit Studios?
I mean I know you're not saying but I just want to get my bet in.
Isn't GTA V nearing 100 million copies sold?
Not saying it's a likely scenario, but it would certainly be worth the investment.
