The things we have been told about and feared have been in some ways confirmed and some ways slightly altered.
“Microsoft Studios is committed to making Xbox One the best place to play games, with more titles in development and more exclusives coming than at any time in the history of Xbox,” said Phil Spencer, corporate vice president, Microsoft Studios. “With amazing games such as ‘Forza Motorsport 5,’ ‘Ryse: Son of Rome,’ ‘Dead Rising 3,’ ‘Halo Xbox One,’ ‘Kinect Sports Rivals,’ ‘Project Spark’ and ‘Quantum Break,’ Xbox will continue to lead the industry with the biggest exclusives, new IP and blockbuster franchises that will delight gamers for the next decade and beyond.”
I think since so many people have complained that it is a TV and not a games console that they decided to try and composite with a large amount of exclusives.
“Battlefield 4” (DICE, Electronic Arts). DICE ushers in the next era of world-class gaming with “Battlefield 4.” The chaos of all-out-war explodes, now with ground breaking new innovations, all running at a smooth 60 frames-per-second on Xbox One. With “Battlefield 4,” the intensity of combat will never be the same.
· “Below” (Capy Games, Microsoft Studios). “Below” is a classic rogue tale with moody graphics and Kinect technology. You will scour the open world in search of rare and special loot while battling the malevolent Darkness, an artificial intelligence-controlled character that uses Kinect to sense and change level progression based on the room’s surroundings.
· “Crimson Dragon” (Grounding/Land Ho!, Microsoft Studios). Humanity has been driven to the brink of extinction on a colonized planet ruled by dragons. It’s up to you to take control of a powerful dragon and battle for control of the skies in this thrilling flight-based shooter.
· “D4” (Access Games, Microsoft Studios). An episodic noir adventure, “D4” follows the story of a detective with the curious ability to dive back in time. He must use this power to solve his wife’s murder and then try to prevent it from occurring.
· “Dead Rising 3” (Capcom Vancouver, Microsoft). Launching in November exclusively for Xbox One, “Dead Rising 3” marks the return of the wildly popular zombie franchise and introduces a blockbuster open-world action experience that will define a new generation of zombie-slaying mayhem. With intense action, an unmatched level of weapon and character customization, and immersive Xbox SmartGlass and Kinect integration, “Dead Rising 3” delivers a heart-pounding experience unlike any other as players fight for survival in a massive, open world teeming with thousands of undead.
· “Forza Motorsport 5” (Turn 10 Studios, Microsoft Studios). Launching in November, “Forza Motorsport 5” is a cinematic automotive journey starring the world’s greatest cars and tracks. Built from the ground up to take advantage of Xbox One and the vast power of the cloud, no game better delivers the wide-eyed thrill of racing.
“Halo Xbox One” – working title (343 Industries, Microsoft Studios).
“Killer Instinct” (Double Helix, Microsoft Studios).
“Kinect Sports Rivals” (Rare, Microsoft Studios).
“LocoCycle” (Twisted Pixel, Microsoft Studios).
“Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain” (Kojima Productions, Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd.).
“Minecraft: Xbox One Edition” (4J/Mojang, Microsoft Studios).
“Powerstar Golf” (Zoe Mode, Microsoft Studios).
“Project Spark” (Team Dakota, Microsoft Studios).
“Quantum Break” (Remedy, Microsoft Studios).
“Ryse: Son of Rome” (Crytek, Microsoft Studios).
“Sunset Overdrive” (Insomniac Games, Microsoft Studios).

This is the opening line up for the Xbox One. I seriously doubt they will recover and I won’t buy one.
Thanks for reading.
