Shacknews has a list of
15 exclusives coming to Xbox One over the first year of Microsoft's upcoming
new console. They also have word from Matt Booty, general manager of Redmond
Game Studios and Platforms, that as far as those platforms go, the PC will not be
receiving any more attention from them than it's been getting lately, which
isn't much. He tried to explain to them they would offer Windows 8 gamers a
range of experiences "from very, very casual games, like our very much improved
and reimagined Solitaire, all the way to graphically complicated games like The
Harvest." They called him on this, noting that as a port of a Windows Phone
game, The Harvest was not exactly AAA material, and when they asked if Microsoft's
first-party games for Windows 8 were lower-end, he didn't deny it: "We're
talking about console games, but there could be some franchises that also end up
with a PC game," Booty told them. "When I think about more connected experiences
across those platforms, it's things that show up within that family of devices
where we've got Xbox Live, like Windows Phone and Windows 8," and "not what you
might consider a more traditional desktop PC game."
