They tried to pull a Bloodborne (Niche but respected Japanese Director at helm of an important exclusive) but without having someone like Yoshida pulling the strings,and Kamiya is too much of a loose cannon for an entity like Microsoft.

Man, what has been up with Platinum over the last year or so? Not to long ago, they were cranking out concentrated awesomeness like Bayonetta, Anarchy Reigns, and RULES OF NATUUUURRRE, but their last few big games have been a passable Transformers game, the TMNT dumpster fire, and the Star Fox Zero garbage barge bonfire.
....at least the NieR sequel is looking promising...

Don't hold your breath.
It's just unfortunate Kamiya is a hack and a drama queen Twitter baby. Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising are really the only things that haven't been a complete embarrassment from them in the last few years.
Not going to be a good year for exclusives on Microsoft's territory.
Meh. Too many pet peeves with online-heavy consoles for me to give a shit about platform exclusives.
Sucks that it had to end this way and the usual PR team response to an unfortunate cancellation.

Personal feelings of Kamiya aside, it's embarrassing for Microsoft to have such a pathetic list of exclusives. 343 has ensured people steer clear of Halo after 5, Gears isn't a system seller anymore and most of their shit can be purchased on Windows 10 store anyway, so they're giving people less and less reasons to buy a Xbox.
I think consoles as a whole are going to fade as entry level PC's get even cheaper. No reason to keep a game on any one platform anymore honestly. It's only a matter of time until nobody has platform exclusives, even Nintendo. Again with the digital and online heavy requirements, I see this happening on all major platforms.
This is coming from someone whose first console was a PS1.

Nintendo is sitting on a proverbial mountain of money, they could operate without turning a profit the way they are now for almost another 100 years. They started out as a toy manufacturer, I think they're the only company that will hold onto their IPs long after we're gone, kind of like Disney in that regard.
Yeah, Nintendo has billions of dollars in the bank. They aren't going anywhere, at least not in our lifetime.
On topic, it's too bad Scalebound got cancelled. Was something I was looking forward to. Oh well
Okay, I'm not going to act like Star Fox Zero was a GOTY candidate, but a garbage bonfire? I found it to be decent, though I would rank it last out of all the Star Fox games.
Platinum had very little to do with Star Fox Zero's game play. Platinum was brought in mainly to work on character models and visuals. Miyamoto is to blame for the autistic control scheme of that game. I'll give Kamiya and Platinum credit where it's due, but they most certainly did not fuck up SFZ.

Does Xbox One have any real good games? I'm looking to buy a PS4 or Xbox just to kill some time during the winter months since golfing isn't an option and target shooting in the cold is miserable. The Ps4 Pro looks cool, and I do love some weeb RPGs.
Man, I was really hoping for another Godhand type lead character made by Platinum too.
I know I'm talking about a Mikami game, and not a Kamiya game, but let's not forget Vanquish when talking about awesome shit Platinum has made. I don't care for cover humping third person shooters and the like, but Vanquish was the exception. Not to mention one can crack jokes about how it's a simulator of what happens if Hillary is President (even if the beginning is fucking ideal)
Well this is kinda sad.
